Full-time: St. Pauli 1-1 Greuther Fürth

St. Pauli and Fürth share the spoils in the season opener with a 1-1 draw. All things considered, it is a fair result, as both teams had numerous chances and could have scored a second goal each, but strong goalkeeping performances on both sides ensured parity at the final whistle.

Full-time

90'

+ 8

That has to be a goal!

Sillah wins the ball and drives into the penalty area, laying it off perfectly across to Srbeny, who barely gets any power behind the ball. Voll stretches out his right leg and manages to parry the low shot in the very last moment! That could've been the winner...

90'

+ 6

A few more minutes to go

The official stoppage time has already elapsed, but because the treatment of Jones took longer, the referee lets play continue.

90'

+ 1

Injury time

A minimum of five additional minutes have been signalled.

90'

No penalty

Jones flicks the ball past Dehm with his head on the right side of the penalty area, who then blocks the substitute somewhat roughly. The referee confers with the VAR and comes to the conclusion that no infringement had been committed. Play resumes.

89'

Acrobatic touch

Mathisen plays a long ball in behind the defensive line. Hrgota brings the ball down brilliantly, but is then blocked.

88'

Substitution

Mika Wallentowitz

Shinta Appelkamp

The final minutes

Including stoppage time, there are perhaps still a good five minutes of play remaining. Will either of the two sides make a decisive push for the winning goal, or are we set to see a draw on the opening matchday?

Another double substitution

Can Smith and Ahlstrand still make a difference here for St. Pauli?

Hrgota again!

The former Fürth player takes a free-kick on the right side of the penalty area, but shoots it too centrally into the arms of Hellstern.

79'

Numerous substitutions now

The next substitution is coming up; Pyrka is being replaced by Jansson. The flow of the game has almost completely broken down at this stage.

Arkadiusz Pyrka

Double substitution for Fürth

The goalscorer is done for the day, Bansé also comes off. Sillah and Arifi are now coming on.

75'

Industrious Kiezkicker

St. Pauli step up the tempo once more in this closing phase and are pushing hard to seal the home win. Not much is coming to fruition for them in this phase, however. Most recently, a fine long-ranged effort from Pyrka is ruled out for offside.

73'

A change for St. Pauli

Jones replaces Hara.

Substitution

Ricky-Jade Jones

The first substitution

Pohlmann is exhausted and is replaced by Keller.

Substitution

69'

Kaars!

On the right wing, Pyrka receives the ball and with his first touch whips in a cross to the near post. Kaars rises high and heads towards the far corner, but Hellstern diverts the ball over the bar!

65'

Pauli slightly more tenacious

The home side need on average just under four seconds less to win back possession of the ball.

65'

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

64'

Back to square one

Two goals have been scored, but the scoreline is level again and both teams are trying to keep their defensive shape stable for now. St. Pauli look somewhat more active in this phase, while Fürth seem comfortable with the draw at the moment.

0:28

Bizarre booking

After Pyrka stops a Fürth counter-attack with a superb sliding tackle, he celebrates a little too provocatively in Klaus' face. The referee responds by showing him the first yellow card.

61'

Yellow card

Arkadiusz Pyrka

60'

Dangerous again

Oppie plays Hrgota in on the left side of the penalty area at the byline, who attempts to cut the ball back from there, but finds no taker.

57'

Disallowed!

Oppie continues to cause danger with his crosses from the left flank. This time, the ball even ends up in the net via Kaars, but he was offside when the ball was played in.

Now Klaus has his goal!

Fürth manage a rapid response! Dehm plays a wonderful through ball into the penalty area for Klaus, who shoots from just the edge of the box. His powerful, right-footed effort takes a slight deflection off Mathisen into the near corner to draw the Clover Leaves level.

We're back underway!

Both teams are back on the pitch without any substitutions and St. Pauli get the ball rolling.

Kick-off!

Half-time: St. Pauli 0-0 Greuther Fürth

Parity persists at the interval. St. Pauli had the better start and have shown some good spells throughout, but the clear-cut chances have belonged to the Clover Leaves, and predominantly through Klaus. He has been involved in a real personal duel with Pauli's keeper Voll, who has managed to parry all of his efforts so far. More to come shortly!

Half-time

45'

+ 1

Stoppage time

A minimum of two additional minutes have been indicated. Will we see another goal in this first half?

45'

And again

The Fürth captain has the next shooting chance in the penalty area, but this time he fires the ball well over the bar.

43'

Klaus and Voll going tit for tat!

Incredible! Once again, Klaus breaks through on the right side of the penalty area and fires a fierce low shot, but Voll dives down lightning-fast and claws the ball out!

40'

Oppie!

The Pauli man first crosses from the left before getting the rebound back at his feet. This time, he elects to have a go towards the near post, but Hellstern is alert once again and makes the save.

36'

Next chance for Klaus

The Fürth veteran remains unsuccessful in his pursuit of the go-ahead goal. He receives the through ball on the right side of the penalty area and shoots from a tight angle, but Voll shows another strong reflex and makes the save once again!

Hara denied by Hellstern

The young Fürth goalkeeper is having a brilliant game in this opening phase.

31'

Venturing forward

At the moment, Fürth are pushing up a lot and St. Pauli are sitting deep with all their players in their own half, defending.

28'

Another good cross

Again, Oppie whips the ball in sharply from the left flank, but this time Heuer is able to clear for a corner. St. Pauli are edging their way back towards the lead...

0:26

So close!

After a cross from Oppie, Andō lifts the ball from inside the six-yard box with a looping effort towards the far post, but Hellstern - at full-stretch - just manages to claw the ball out!

22'

Clover Leaves improving

Although they still have less possession and are tending to sit back and looking to counter, Fürth are now carrying out their attacks much better and with more purpose than in the opening phase.

0:31

Fürth's turn for a golden opportunity!

A simple long ball played in behind the defensive line falls perfectly into the run of Klaus, who has the opportunity to finish completely unmarked from the penalty spot. Voll holds his ground, makes himself big and is then able to parry the low shot with a brilliant reflex save to maintain the deadlock!

Tight duels

Huge opportunity for Kaars!

Hrgota sends Kaars in behind and he has a clear run on goal. As he bears down on goal, however, he allows himself to drift slightly to the left before his low finish is dealt with comfortably by Hellstern.

11'

Fürth go forward

Klaus is played in on the left side of the penalty area, but his shot on the turn goes well wide to the right.

10'

High pressure

After losing possession, the Kiezkicker immediately look to counter-press. They have been very successful with it so far; Fürth can barely get out of their own half.

7'

Nobody on the end of it

Hrgota dribbles down the left flank all the way to the byline from where he drives the ball low and hard across the face of goal, but finds no taker in the middle.

6'

First chance

Hara can't connect with the header in the box following a left-sided cross before Rasmussen's follow-up shot from the edge of the area is blocked.

2'

Dominant start

The home side are asserting themselves with a lot of possession in the opening phase here. It's clear that Pauli want to seize control of the game right from the off.

1'

We're off!

The ball is rolling here at the Millerntor and it's the visitors from Fürth who kick off.

Kick-off!
