Kyereh meets Freestößvariante

Union began in 3-3-2-2 printed and sought the way right forward at the beginning. Danger, however, could not ignite the iron, as well as the guests from Hamburg, which concentrated in unfamiliar 3-1-4-2 on the defensive. Flanks like the dangerous of Becker (11th) got St. Pauli always clarified.

Fortan developed a game that took place mainly in midfield. However, a willpower of Kyereh led to the 1-0 for St. Pauli: The Ghanaer conquered the ball and fought a free kick. At this, Hartel put up for Kyereh – and his flat shot passed in the Torwarteck Rönnow, which did not look good (21.).

Becker succeeds the unexpected compensation before the break

Union then succeeded almost the direct answer – because of the casting team was too surprised and from close proximity to the ball (24.) and Berlin made a little easier, it stayed for a long time at the 0: 1 from the point of view of the Iron, for which Becker once dangerous (32.). With the last scene before the break, the Köpenicker from Becker still looked like: the striker came to the conclusion, because guest Keeper Smarsch slipped (45.).

St. Pauli came from the cabin, or the Hamburgers were increasingly looking for the way forward. Both teams were missing in the last third but accuracy that the Kiez-goalkeeper Rönnow missed little later. Smarsch’s tee on the head of Baumgartl (54th) was still clarified in front of the line.

The next slip-up: Union turns the game

The teams neutralized themselves and there was idle until Joker Voglsammer encountered Medic in the penalty area, but to the displeasure of the Irishes did not receive a penalty (69.). The duel should give it a little later – and the Köpenicker retain the last laugh: also Medic slipped away and Voglammer transformed ice cold (75th) in the penalty area.

In the final phase, St. Pauli has rarely developed danger, while Voglsammer missed the decision and failed at the post (90. + 1). The substitute Makienok, on the other hand, was still almost for the compensation, but shot just over (90. + 3), which was why Union had first succeeded in the semifinals since 2001.
