Full-time: Augsburg 3-1 St. Pauli

The home side get their first win of the season in convincing style, sweeping aside a St. Pauli side that simply came to life too late in the game. The away side looked much better once they'd got their goal, but they left too much space in behind as they searched for their first point of the season, allowing Kabadayı to break free and kill the game right at the end.
