Nemeth earns St. Pauli a point at Cottbus while short-handed

St. Pauli is the more dangerous team in the early stages and creates good opportunities through Ceesay (13th) and Metcalfe (14th).

Then Ando has his unintentionally big moment: The Japanese player receives a yellow-red card within four minutes. First, he fouls Cigerci at the edge of the penalty area, shortly after he clumsily pulls Hannemann's jersey and is sent off for it.

After 37 minutes, "Pele" Wollitz's team capitalizes on this numerical advantage. Butler strikes decisively from 18 meters, Voll has no chance - 1:0.

With this interim score, the teams head into the locker rooms.

Kaars secures point while short-handed

After the change of ends, little happens in front of the goals initially. It takes until the 70th minute before goal danger develops again. Rorig wins the ball in his own half and advances into the opposing penalty area. Voll reacts strongly and thwarts the good chance.

Cottbus then becomes too complacent – and that is punished. Jones breaks free and crosses into the middle, where the onrushing Kaars heads in the equalizer (80th).

That's how it remains in the end. Cottbus is now seventh, with St. Pauli directly behind them.

David Nemeth once again captained the Paulianer and played the full match.
