FC St. Pauli defeated Werder Bremen 2-1 in a crucial relegation battle at the Millerntor-Stadion on Saturday, with 29,546 spectators in attendance. The victory, secured by goals from Hauke Wahl in the 55th minute and Joel Chima Fujita in the 70th minute, was significantly aided by a critical error from Werder's goalkeeper Mio Backhaus. Werder had initially been the better team in the first half and equalized through Jovan Milosevic in the 62nd minute, but ultimately suffered their third consecutive loss under new coach Daniel Thioune, extending their winless streak to 13 league matches and dropping to second-to-last place in the standings.
