FC St. Pauli lost 1:2 to Mainz on Sunday and now sits on a direct relegation spot. The Hamburgers have not won a game in eight matches. After the 0:1, there was a break in the game. We never really had control over the opponent and never put pressure on the ball, described defense chief Hauke Wahl. We have two games left. That's what gives us hope. It will certainly not get easier, but we can now show that we are a team. St. Pauli was actually well-prepared for the game. After four minutes, there were already two big chances - first Hauke Wahl and then Tomoya Ando had a header. But it was once again a big mistake that put the home team two minutes later in a disadvantageous position. Wahl and Eric Smith distributed the ball in the pressing of the opponent and Mainz quickly switched. Sheraldo Becker passed the ball with his first contact in front of the penalty area - and Tietz shot directly. No chance for Nikola Vasilj - 1:0 for Mainz. The goal was a mood killer - on the pitch and on the stands. St. Pauli was clearly shocked. Mainz took control and always posed a threat. The home team hardly had any chances. And the 2:0 was not only well-deserved, but also deserved. This time, Tietz led with his pass to the started Silvan Widmer. The Swiss captain went on the right to the baseline and then passed back to the five. Mwene only had to shoot - it was his first season goal (40.).
