Promoted FC St. Pauli have picked up their first point of the season. After three previous defeats, the Bundesliga club surprisingly held Champions League contenders RB Leipzig to a 0-0 draw. Coach Marco Rose's side missed out on finishing second in the table, but the fifth-placed side, who are level on points and goals with 1. FC Union Berlin, have not been beaten in 15 league games, equalling the record set in 2019.
The Saxons, who were unsuccessful in the European Cup during the week, looked powerless and lacking in ideas in front of 29,251 spectators and had to settle for a justified draw. The attack-minded Hamburg side, reminiscent of the fast-paced soccer from the promotion season, should even have taken the lead at one stage.
