Emre Can’s Stoppage-Time Penalty Lifts Dortmund Past St. Pauli, 3-2

The decisive spot kick followed a VAR upgrade from free kick to penalty after Ricky-Jade Jones fouled Maximilian Beier.

Overview

Dortmund led 2-0 through Julian Brandt in first-half stoppage time and Karim Adeyemi early in the second half before St. Pauli leveled from set pieces.
St. Pauli equalized via goals by James Sands from a corner in the 63rd minute and Ricky-Jade Jones after a free kick in the 72nd minute.
An earlier St. Pauli penalty for a Fabio Silva handball was overturned on review by referee Harm Osmers after he checked the monitor.
