Terodde’s brace brings Schalke back into the game
But after the break, St. Pauli experienced the famous cold shower: Jakov Medić put Schalke’s goalscorer Simon Terodde in the penalty area, the fouled player converted the penalty and scored the goal (47′). St. Pauli then defended itself against the Schalke attacks, but then had to accept the equalizer in the 71st minute: Terodde was successful again.
With the frenetic fans behind them, the team of Schalke legend Mike Büskens pushed for the third goal. At first, Martin Fraisl was able to parry a violent volleyball shot by Marcel Beifus with a lightning reflex, but then the FC St. Pauli keeper was powerless: Rodrigo Zalazar, a former player for the guests from the Hanseatic city, converted an untenable assist from Marius Bülter to 3:2. As a result, Beifus was sent off with a straight red, and teammate and double goal scorer Mantanovic was also sent off within just under two minutes because of two yellow cards.
The promotion ambitions of FC St. Pauli suffered a severe setback, the promotion chances are only theoretical. With a three point gap to the second HSV and the third Darmstadt and the significantly worse goal difference, there are only theoretical chances. Werder Bremen can also advance to second place with a win on Sunday in Aue.
