In a crucial match impacting the bottom of the Bundesliga table, FC St. Pauli secured a 2:1 victory against local rivals Werder Bremen. The game, held at Millerntor-Stadion with an attendance of 29,546, saw St. Pauli's goals come from Hauke Wahl in the 55th minute and Joel Chima Fujita in the 70th minute. Bremen's equalizer was scored by Jovan Milosevic in the 62nd minute, but the team ultimately suffered another defeat, marking their third straight loss under coach Daniel Thioune.

The match highlighted a significant goalkeeper error by Bremen’s Mio Backhaus, which allowed Wahl to score and contributed to St. Pauli's confidence going forward. Despite Bremen being the stronger side in the first half, they could not maintain their advantage and succumbed to St. Pauli's attacking play in the second half. This result further entrenches Bremen in a dire position, as they now face 13 league matches without a win, placing them in the relegation zone.

Coach Thioune's challenges were compounded by pre-match injuries, including the loss of right-back Felix Agu, which limited Bremen's defensive options. This ongoing crisis for Werder Bremen poses serious implications for their season, as they continue to struggle for form and results. In contrast, this victory gives St. Pauli a crucial lift in their campaign, moving them away from the relegation spots and providing a much-needed morale boost.
