Overview

  • FC St. Pauli fell 0:2 at VfB Stuttgart for their first Bundesliga defeat of the season.

  • Captain Eric Smith called it their worst display in a long time, citing lost second balls, missed duels and neglected basics.
  • Coach Alexander Blessin criticized the side for letting their courage be taken, as tracking data showed only 115.86 kilometers covered and a 41% duel win rate.
