St. Pauli fails in Leipzig: errors cost DFB Cup dreams!

Leipzig, Deutschland - FC St. Pauli missed the round of 16 in the DFB Cup and lost 2: 4 on Tuesday evening against RB Leipzig. The Hamburgers presented themselves defensively and were punished by the Leipzigers ice cold: Yussuf Poulsen scored twice (12th, 30th minute), Christoph Baumgartner (17th) and Antonio Nusa (80th) provided the gates of the hosts. Morgan Guilavogui (28th) and Eric Smith (59th) shortened for St. Pauli, but could not avert the defeat.

coach Alexander Blessin was upset about the “stupid goals” that his team collected, but praised his players' fighting spirit. Despite the initially decent start, St. Pauli did not hang his heads and also showed some dangerous attacks, but in the end Leipzig's victory was completely deserved. St. Pauli now has to concentrate on the fight for relegation in everyday league life. Explosive games like this, however, prepare the stage for an exciting season, so that many eyes are focused on the upcoming challenges. Further details can be found www.ndr.de .
