Eintracht Frankfurt against St. Pauli: Drama about staying in the league!
There was an exciting duel in the Bundesliga on October 24, 2025: Eintracht Frankfurt hosted FC St. Pauli. Eintracht is known for its offensive strength, but has to contend with a shaky defense behind the scenes. With 18 goals conceded this season, the team is more vulnerable than ever millernton.de reported. It was anything but an easy task for St. Pauli, especially after four defeats in a row.
Eintracht Frankfurt was also faced with personnel concerns: the injured players Elias Baum and Oscar Hojlund were not available. Michael Zetterer was called upon to be the new goalkeeper after Kaua Santos was replaced. “We urgently need to work on our defense,” admitted coach Alexander Blessin. The team was still full of hope that they could get the situation under control with a possible three-man chain.
Unity in print
Before the game, the mood among Frankfurt was tense, as they lost their previous Champions League game against Liverpool. This pressure was felt when the game against St. Pauli began. Eintracht really wanted to win the important game so as not to lose sight of qualification for the Champions League.
In the first half, however, St. Pauli was not willing to give up without a fight. Within just 14 minutes, the guests made it 0-1 early with a goal from Chaibi and another from Weißhaupt. St. Pauli went into the half-time break with a lead.
Furious second half
In the second half, Frankfurt pushed, but often couldn't find access to the well-positioned St. Pauli defense. Finally, Chaibi managed to equalize - but only in the 75th minute when the VAR checked a handball. Frankfurt seemed to be back in the game, but was unable to assert itself decisively. St. Pauli held on in a disciplined manner for over 90 minutes and was able to maintain a 2-2 draw over time.
- Entscheidende Momente im Spiel:
- Frankfurt geht in der 3. Minute in Führung.
- St. Pauli gleicht in der 14. Minute aus, führt zur Halbzeit mit 2:1.
- Frankfurt kommt in der 75. Minute zum Ausgleich.
Coach Blessin's tactic of maintaining defensive stability against Eintracht's offensive worked. With just one point gained from the draw, FC St. Pauli has all but secured relegation, while Frankfurt now has to fight for Champions League qualification against SC Freiburg on the last matchday kicker.de informed.
