St. Pauli missing the rankings – WORLD

Stand: 06:49 am | Reading time: 4 minutes

reFC St. Pauli has missed an opportunity that will probably not come back so soon. The team missed the leap to the top of the second division standings. In a very interesting, fast and varied match, she defeated Holstein Kiel with a score of 0: 1. The frustration in the Hamburg camp was nevertheless limited. Finally, they had their best seasonal performance on the field. Only the result did not match. And they failed at a strong counterpart.

Markus Kauczinski was almost sorry for his troupe: "Each of our attackers had the opportunity to decide the match for us, we played less well and won, but it's just football." Kiez club is two points behind the first duo, composed of 1. FC Köln and HSV after this match day, but went from third to fifth position.

With his starting lineup, the coach did not just give the signal for the attack. He denied the variant with two spikes and ordered only Sami Allagui for Dimitrios Diamantakos in the front line. In football arithmetic, a 4-2-3-1 system. Reinforcing the offensive was optional, depending on the course of the match. First, he smoked and ranted heavily in Kiel's guest block. The arsonists were back at work. The kettle cooled by an east wind is blown off. The guests did not hide, attacked St Pauli early and also appeared several times before Robin Himmelmann. Hamburg seemed however closer to the goal of the opening. After that, the meeting is temporarily delayed. Some interruptions related to an injury affected the intensity and the play.

Holstein Kiel took over for a short while, but the final phase of the first section was still Kiezkickern, whose chances of scoring have multiplied. The thickest pardoned Richard Neudecker, who had taken the place of Christopher Buchtmann in trouble in the second shot. He was running a center of Mats Moeller Daehli on the goalkeeper. One of the reasons why sports director Uwe Stöver later lamented the "lack of efficiency".

The 0: 0 whistle at halftime does not reflect in any way the richness of the event. It was hot, in the meadow and on the stands. Kiez Kauczinski's coach said: "The first 45 minutes show was excellent and with the best we've shown this season."

This has continued, with opportunities on both sides, with an advantage in the Brown-Whites' opportunities. But the "storks" remained at eye level. Only David Kinsombi hit the crossbar with a smash hit the edge of the box. After that, the game, already very capricious, took speed and after an hour, Janni Luca Serra pushed the ball that previously jumped unpredictably across the surface. Philipp Ziereis and Jeremy Dudziak were divided, the situation should have been clarified. "An egg door," said St. Paulis Marvin Knoll.

Kauczinski saw earlier than usual the need to shoot his fools. Henk Veerman and Ryo Miyaichi arrived and the Japanese immediately added spirit and speed. But the Kiel were in the water after the lead. They did not think that they wanted to take the lead just to make ends meet, but they rushed. St. Pauli, however, was obviously looking for ways to get the game back on track. This was to last until the final phase, before the local team appeared more often in front of the Kiel penalty area and found themselves in front of the balance several times. They ran, besieging the score of sixteen, but Holstein's mbadive defenses were barely out of balance. "Our pbadionate fight has unfortunately not been rewarded," complained Kauczinski.

This Allaguis Heber in the 88th minute not on the net, but on the crossbar, symbolized the situation. The Kiezkickern was missing that day from the luck that had remained the last time excessive. Knoll: "This defeat will not make us crack." Our development is positive, the trend is on the rise. "Kiel coach Tim Walter said the final word:" We are happy to see you again. to have pulled the thing here. "
