Full-time: Pauli 0-1 Union

Steffen Baumgart's men hold onto their first-half lead to claim a hard-fought three points at the Millerntor-Stadion. Pauli emerged in the second half a much-improved side and nearly equalised when Pereira Lage's effort ricocheted off the post. But their inability to find an equaliser means Pauli suffered a club-record eighth consecutive Bundesliga defeat.

Union corner

Skarke shepherds the ball out high up the left flank for Union, before winning a corner. Köhn takes it short to Khedira, with both players holding it in the corner to run down the clock.

Another change

Blessin rolls the dice with another offensive alteration, introducing Kaars for Pereira Lage. Will the Dutchman be the one to find a late equaliser for the Kiezkicker here?

Rønnow scrambling

Sinani takes the corner. It's a beautiful delivery, looping and curling towards the far corner, forcing the Union keeper to back-peddle to stop him from scoring direct from the corner. It actually goes over the goalkeeper, but Haberer is there to head it off the line.

84'

Launched in by Metcalfe

The substitute delivers a long throw-in from the right. It's flicked on to Smith, but the No.8's effort is deflected behind for a corner.

One-way traffic

The last 20 minutes have belonged to St. Pauli, but they still trail here at the Millerntor-Stadion. Will there be late drama here in Hamburg?

75'

Pauli getting closer

Two huge chances fall for Pauli in quick succession. First, a mix-up between Trimmel and his goalkeeper gives Oppie a chance in an advanced position, but his effort is blocked. The hosts work it again to Pereira Lage, who breaks into the left side of the box and lashes a low effort back across goal. Rønnow is beaten, but the ball smashes off the far post and back out, much to Union's relief.

73'

More changes

Baumgart makes a triple substitution, introducing Haberer, Köhn, and Jeong for Kemlein, Rothe and Burke. Blessin also makes a change - his out of necessity. Pyrka comes off injured as is replaced by Metcalfe.

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Leite intervenes

Sinani sets Pyrka free down the right. The wide-man then tries to find Ceesay at the near post, but Leite makes a great block to send the ball behind for a corner. Oppie takes, but Rønnow comes to claim it.

67'

Improved second half

Pauli are winning the ball back on average five seconds quicker in the second half than they were in the first, which is contributing to their improved second-half performance. Nevertheless, an equaliser is remaining elusive.

66'

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).

Wahl!

Oppie delivers a corner from the right. Union head it clear from the near post, but the hosts rework it back to Oppie, who delivers a second, inviting cross towards the far post. Wahl gets his head to it, but the effort is straight at Rønnow. Pauli are getting closer...

61'

Fujita shoots

Space opens up for Fujita on the edge of the Union penalty area and the midfielder elects to go it alone. His effort is well struck, but Rønnow manages to hold onto the attempt.

60'

Early cross

Rothe breaks free down the left flank. It's a two-on-two in the middle for Burke and Ilić. Rothe has the right idea in trying to find them with an early ball in, but it's too imprecise.

Khedira's opener

The veteran midfielder's first-half strike remains all that separates these sides 10 minutes into the second half.

55'

Pauli growing

The hosts are enjoying a spell of prolonged possession, whilst Union are struggling to get out of their own half. Oppie has delivered a few good crosses in the last couple of minutes, but they haven't found any takers. It's better from St. Pauli, though.

53'

Swung in by Oppie

The left wing-back delivers an inswinging corner from the right. He finds Wahl at the far post, who wins the header, but Rothe manages to get a block in to send it behind for another corner. On the second time of asking, Pauli don't manage to make anything of the set-piece, and Union clear.

50'

Trimmel delivers

Ansah draws a foul near the left touchline, midway inside Pauli's half. Trimmel whips in the free-kick, looking for Querfeld, but the hosts head it clear.

Khedira, the goalscorer, picks up an early caution for a late challenge on Fujita.

Back underway!

Hosts St. Pauli get the ball rolling for the second half here. Neither manager elected to make any changes at half-time. The final 45 minutes of Matchday 11 awaits...

Kick-off!

Half-time: St. Pauli 0-1 Union Berlin

The Berlin visitors head in at the break with their noses in front at the Millerntor-Stadion courtesy of Khedira's late strike. The first half has been a cagey affair and hasn't been helped by the windy conditions, but Union grew as the half went on, threatening the Pauli goal ever more. By contrast, the hosts are yet to test Rønnow in the Union goal. Alexander Blessin will no doubt be demanding more from his team at half-time if they're to overturn their run of seven consecutive defeats.
