Overview

• Ermedin Demirovic scored before assisting Bilal El Khannouss for Stuttgart, while Angelo Stiller missed a first‑half penalty in the 2:0 home win that handed St. Pauli their first league loss.
• Club officials and reports framed the result as the composed response coach Sebastian Hoeneß had sought, with Stuttgart posting higher intensity metrics than in their defeat at Freiburg.
• FSV Zwickau reached Berlin late after being stuck in a full A9 closure near Leipzig caused by a severe crash, and won 1:0 at Hertha 03 Zehlendorf after a delayed kickoff.
• The match start was pushed to 19:45 because an assistant referee was also trapped in traffic; Josua von Baer came on at halftime and struck the winner from distance.
• Separate local incidents included an overturned corn‑laden truck on the B156 at Elsterheide that injured the driver and required an overnight closure for recovery, and a three‑person injury crash in Escheburg in which one person was freed from a vehicle with no life‑threatening conditions reported.
