Everything looks set for an away win for Leipzig at the Millerntor Stadium. But then international David Raum slips awkwardly and causes a late penalty for FC St. Pauli.

Football international and Leipzig captain David Raum has taken responsibility for the late equalizer at FC St. Pauli. In the third minute of stoppage time, Dutch attacker Martijn Kaars, who had been fouled by Raum, scored a penalty to make it 1-1 in one of the catch-up games in the Bundesliga.

"It's also a bit down to me, even if I slipped," said the 27-year-old before watching the pictures again on Sky TV. "It's a penalty, of course, I have to be honest," commented Raum. "Yes ok, it's a brutal foul," he said. "I don't need to beat around the bush". He had slipped with both feet.

"It ended up being an unfortunate situation because Raumi slipped away," said coach Ole Werner. "Nevertheless, it is of course an indisputable penalty", he added. "We're not happy with the result," said the coach.

Star player Yan Diomande had ended Leipzig's goal drought at the Millerntor with his remarkable strike. Everything looked set for an away win for the Saxons at FC St. Pauli before former Magdeburg player Kaars equalized with a penalty. It would have been RB's first away win at the Millerntor Stadium.

The club has failed to win in all four matches in Hamburg. At least they managed one goal, which had also not worked three times before.
