RB Leipzig has pushed St. Pauli further into the relegation zone in the Bundesliga. The Hamburgers missed the chance to overtake VfL Wolfsburg with a 1:2 loss at RB Leipzig. After the goals from Xaver Schlager and Willi Orban, Leipzig has secured the Champions League and will finish the season as third. St. Pauli, who was too late to score by Abdoulie Ceesay, remains second-to-last and failed to overtake VfL Wolfsburg with a point, who lost to FC Bayern Munich on Saturday. "A point would have been deserved, our plan has worked well. It's bitter because more was in it", said St. Pauli's coach Alexander Blessin in the Sportschau interview. "We have risen in this season again and again, we must do it now, we must cope with the pressure. The performance gives me confidence, it's all possible. We take a lot of positives with us." On the last matchday, it will be a direct duel in Hamburg between the "Wolves" and the "Kiezkicker", who would save themselves with a win in the relegation, provided that 1. FC Heidenheim does not get six points from its last two games. If St. Pauli does not win, relegation is sealed. Leipzig started with a lot of ball possession and a very curious scoring chance. Christoph Baumgartner did not get the ball past Nikola Vasilj from close range, then Brajan Gruda shot three meters in front of the opponent's goal, but he missed a cross that went directly to Ridle Baku, who ran past the empty goal (8.). It was decided on offside, but the goal would have probably counted. So unlucky Leipzig in this action, so unlucky it also acted in the first half. The actual top team committed numerous errors in the offense and was also weak in the backward movement. The result was many St. Pauli counter-attacks, which were often not well played - except for one case, where only centimeters were missing to the deserved lead: Andreas Houtondji served after a through ball Martijn Kaars, who shot the ball from 13 meters against the post (34.). Schlager's goal wakes up RB. St. Pauli missed the big chance to take the lead in Leipzig - and was then punished by a lucky product just before the break. After the first RB corner, Baumgartner headed the ball into Schlager's knee, where the ball lay and he shot it under the bar for 1-0 in the far corner. The midfielder crowned his last home game in Leipzig. Before the game, the Austrian was bid farewell, as he did not want to extend his expiring contract. Immediately after the break, it became even bitter for St. Pauli. First, Assan Ouedraogo hit the post from 15 meters, then the second corner for RB - and the second goal. This time, Orban converted Raum's pass directly, his seemingly harmless header landed exactly in the far corner for 2-0. And from this moment on, Leipzig had everything under control. St. Pauli minimizes the damage. The game was almost only in the half of the "Kiezkicker".
