Deserved booking
The scorer of the second goal obstructs Voll during a goal kick and gets booked for it. That was rather unnecessary.
76'
Abiama!
The substitute has a shot from the left side of midfield. Voll, however, raises his hands and makes the save, and it remains 2-0 for the hosts.
73'
Two fresh pairs of legs for the hosts
Things are going well for Essen as they head into the final stages with a two-goal lead. Abiama and Reisig are brought on to try to see the lead home.

Little from St. Pauli
If anything, it is Essen who are delivering crosses into the opposition's penalty area and showing significantly more drive towards goal. At this rate, we are set for a minor shock.

First Substitution
St. Pauli have had no answer whatsoever to the second goal conceded so far, so Rapp tries to inject some fresh impetus from the bench and brings on Banks.

Essen extend their lead!
That shouldn't have been so simple, but it was well-taken! After the visitors lose possession in the build-up, Hofmann has lots of space on the right and whips a cross to the penalty spot. Telalović runs onto it, takes the ball first time with the inside of his left foot and converts into the right corner to make it 2-0.
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.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Kaars again
The striker gets a shot off before Golz, but is denied by a strong save from the Essen keeper.

Yellow card for Menzel!
The Essen player can only stop Hrgota in the midfield by fouling him and is booked for it.

Underdogs go in front!
Essen are ahead! Obuz leaves Oppie behind in the right and whips the ball in towards the far post. Janssen has snuck in behind Nemeth there, and heads home to make it 1-0.

31'
Over the bar again!
This simply cannot be happening, as Kaars squanders yet another gilt-edged chance. A cross from the left flank is parried by Golz with one hand directly to the penalty spot, where the FC St. Pauli striker stands completely unmarked and shoots immediately. However, the shot flies well into the stands.
27'
First booking
Pyrka comes in late on the right side of the penalty area against the rushing-out Golz, checks him off the ball and receives the first booking of the match.

St Pauli are now in the game
After the strong opening phase from the hosts, the Bundesliga 2 side are now making their presence felt, shaping the action on the pitch in a much more balanced manner and have already had what has been the biggest chance of the match so far.

Essen getting into it
Rot-Weiss have been remarkably strong in the opening quarter of an hour and have had more of the ball than St. Pauli. However, the Essen side have not yet created any clear-cut chances.
11'
Blocked
St. Pauli fail to properly clear a corner and Hüning has a go from distance. His effort gets turned behind for another corner, which ultimately comes to nothing.
7'
Essen are well in the game
After a cross from Pesch, Telalović gets on the end of a header in the centre, but it poses no problem for Voll.
5'
New boots
Pauli's keeper reacted immediately to his little blunder and changed his boots. Let's see if he has a more secure footing now.
2'
A first attempt on goal
Voll attempts to clear a back pass, but slips before doing so and cannot get the ball far enough forward. Essen press forward and Pesch looks to capitalise on the situation from distance, but his low shot goes a few yards wide to the left.

Kick-off
The match at the Hafenstraße has kicked off, with Felix Prigan the referee.
