Leweling pulls one back!
There is hope yet for Stuttgart. The ball bounces around the Pauli box, eventually falling at the feet of substitute Leweling. The winger cuts inside from the left and expertly picks out the near corner of the net. Game on!
Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Shot speed

Sinani tries his luck from range
St. Pauli flood forward again. This time, Sinani shoots from 20 yards or so, and Nübel has to push the ball over his crossbar. Nothing comes from the resulting corner.

Nübel saves well from Kaars

Stuttgart wasteful in attack
The visitors have worked some decent opportunities in the last 10 minutes or so, but the final ball has often been poor. St. Pauli aren't making life easy, it has to be said, having settled into a rigid defensive back five.
75'
Hendriks recovers well
Kaars is almost through on goal, but the Stuttgart defender shows his excellent powers of recovery to get back and shut the counter down.
72'
Demirović booked
The forward joins his strike partner Undav in the referee's book after an overly-agressive challenge.
69'
Double change for Stuttgart
Summer arrivals Assignon and Bouanani are on to try and turn the tide for the Swabian side. The game has been temporarily halted while the fourth official changes his radio.

Sands goes down
The Pauli midfielder needs some treatment after sustaining a head injury. However, he looks okay to continue after a few checks.
63'
Too high from Sands
Sinani whips in a teasing free-kick, but Sands can only head it over from a few yards out. Big chance missed to wrap up the three points.
Just over from Undav!

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).

Penalty appeal
A shot from Undav on the edge of the Pauli box hits the hand of Rasmussen. However, it takes place just outside the penalty area, and as such, nothing is awarded.

Stuttgart threatening on the break
Undav and Vagnoman have had some good moments in the last few minutes, with the latter flashing a cross across the face of the St. Pauli goal - which none of his teammates can convert.

Nübel saves from Sinani
Irvine picks out Sinani on the right, who cuts into the Stuttgart box. He tried to find the far corner of Nübel's goal, but the German keeper holds onto the ball with relative ease.
