St. Pauli, the home club of Estonian football player Karol Mets, secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Stuttgart in the 21st round of the Bundesliga. Manolis Saliakas opened the scoring for St. Pauli in the 35th minute, and Danel Sinani extended the lead with a successful penalty in the 55th minute. Although Stuttgart managed to pull one back in the dying moments of the match, they could not equalize. Mets played the entire match, contributing to his team's success in overcoming a challenging streak.

This victory marks St. Pauli's fourth win of the season, particularly significant as it comes after a lengthy run of eight matches without a win across all competitions, consisting of five draws and twelve losses. The team had been struggling, and this win allows them to gain much-needed momentum as they aim to improve their standings in the league. The result also highlights the impact of player performance, with Mets being an integral part of the squad.

In contrast, Bremen's Werder was less fortunate, suffering a 0-1 defeat against Freiburg. Despite Freiburg being reduced to ten men after a red card in the 52nd minute, Werder could not capitalize on the advantage, resulting in their tenth loss of the season. This outcome sees Werder drop to 16th place in the league, only two points ahead of St. Pauli, who are currently 17th. The tight competition at the bottom of the table emphasizes the challenges faced by teams as they vie for survival in Germany's top tier football.
