Bundesliga 2 - Wehen Wiesbaden stops losing streak at St. Pauli
SV Wehen Wiesbaden ended their losing streak at top team FC St. Pauli of all teams. The Hessians forced a 1:1 (0:0) draw at second-placed FC St. Pauli on Sunday and finished the first half of the 2nd Bundesliga season in eleventh place with 22 points.
After losing their last three games, substitute John Iredale's equalizer in the 84th minute brought cheer to coach Markus Kauczinski's team on Sunday. Marcel Hartel (47) had given Hamburg the lead in front of 29,332 spectators at the Millerntor Stadium.
Wehen Wiesbaden had problems from the start against the dominant hosts. Fortunately for the Hessians, the favorites were careless with their numerous opportunities. St. Pauli were rewarded for their efforts at the start of the second half. Johannes Eggestein provided Hartel with an exemplary pass, who remained calm and scored for the overdue lead.
However, St. Pauli's lack of efficiency kept the visitors hoping for a little surprise. SVWW played more courageously going forward in the closing stages and had the chance to equalize in the 80th minute through the eventual scorer. However, Iredale only hit the crossbar. Four minutes later, he finished off an exemplary counter-attack to make it 1:1 and ensure a conciliatory end to the year.
