FC St. Pauli

FC St. Pauli lost 3-2 at Bayern Munich on Saturday. Harry Kane gave his side an early lead but Elias Saad levelled ten minutes later as the Boys in Brown gave as good as they got before the break. The home side dictated the proceedings in the second half, however, and a brace from Leroy Sané set them on the road to victory. Substitute Lars Ritzka pulled one back in time added on, but it came too late.

The Boys in Brown may have started the week before the daunting trip to Bayern Munich without their international players, but they were no less motivated for that. Among them was winter signing Noah Weißhaupt. After training on Tuesday, the SC Freiburg loanee looked ahead to the game in conversation with the media.

FC St. Pauli drew 0-0 with second-division outfit Hertha BSC in a friendly on Wednesday afternoon. A crowd of around 2,500 saw an evenly balanced contest in which the best chances fell to Andreas Albers along with Connor Metcalfe and Robert Wagner, both back from long injury layoffs.
