Overview

• Ermedin Demirovic struck in the 43rd minute and set up Bilal El Khannouss five minutes after halftime to seal the points.
• Angelo Stiller’s 25th-minute penalty was saved by Nikola Vasilj, whose run of spot-kick stops continued in standout fashion.
• Two Stuttgart efforts were disallowed for offside involvement, including an early Demirovic finish and a Stiller cross that found the net.
• St. Pauli threatened after the break as Louis Oppie hit the underside of the bar and Alexander Nübel denied Oladapo Afolayan in the 71st minute.
• The result left St. Pauli fourth on seven points and lifted Stuttgart to seventh on six with the rest of Matchday 4 still to come.
