Wolfsburg's Pejcinovic secures a 2-1 win against St. Pauli with a dream goal!

The fans were treated to an exciting football game yesterday, Sunday, when VfL Wolfsburg hosted FC St. Pauli. On the 17th matchday of the Bundesliga, the Wolves won 2-1 and were able to collect important points in the fight for survival. The winning goal came late, but just in time for Wolfsburg's young star Dzenan Pejcinovic, who is in impressive form with five goals in the last three games so far.

In the 25th minute, Wolfsburg took the lead thanks to a hand penalty from Christian Eriksen. The Danish playmaker scored his first goal in the Bundesliga and showed that, despite his 33 years, he is still an important factor in the team. Dzenan Pejcinovic, a big fan of the former Tottenham player, raved about Eriksen and his helpful nature in training. “He helps me a lot, his experience is worth its weight in gold for me,” said Pejcinovic, who was supposed to be the match winner again on this match day.

The game in detail

After the early lead, however, it was the guests from St. Pauli who were able to equalize through Eric Smith in the 40th minute. St. Pauli started with a lot of pressure, especially after the heavy defeat against Bayern Munich, and wanted to take home at least a point. Coach Alexander Blessin, who had to reshuffle his starting eleven due to captain Jackson Irvine's injury, praised the commitment of his players. “It hurts to have Irvine’s injury, but we have to fight,” Blessin said.

The second half was initially disappointing for Wolfsburg, who couldn't show many ideas and were partially pushed back. It wasn't until the 88th minute that Pejcinovic brought the Wolves back into the lead after a dangerous phase with his goal and secured the win. While St. Pauli remained dangerous on the offensive through Joel Chima Fujita, Wolfsburg goalkeeper Kamil Grabara paved the way for the triumph with several saves. On one of his best days, Grabara, among other things, thwarted a double chance from Ricky-Jade Jones in the 35th minute.

Wolfsburg's perspective

For Wolfsburg, this game could represent a turn in the table picture. Thanks to Pejcinovic's strong performances, the club may reconsider planned transfers during the winter break. After the game, sports director Pirmin Schwegler was satisfied with the 20-year-old's development and could even switch from the originally planned commitment of a center forward to a defender. Pejcinovic, who is also becoming increasingly important for Wolfsburg's offensive game, could therefore play a key role in the club's future.

This encounter was not just exciting from a sporting point of view. There was a medical emergency in the St. Pauli fan block. Fortunately, the affected person is now stable again. Such incidents show that football is much more than just a game and the well-being of fans should always come first.

Overall, VfL Wolfsburg remains on a good course with the win, while St. Pauli continues to fight against relegation and remained in a relegation zone after the matchday. If it were up to the fans, they would want to experience this kind of excitement in the coming games.
