FC Augsburg has successfully followed up on their surprise win against FC Bayern. In the 100th Bundesliga game of coach Manuel Baum, they achieved a very important 2:1 win against St. Pauli. Returnee Michael Gregoritsch has given FC Augsburg the next important win in the football Bundesliga. The 31-year-old Austrian was the celebrated match winner with his double pack in the 2:1 win against FC St. Pauli. With the hard-won victory in the 100th Bundesliga game of coach Manuel Baum, the Augsburg team was able to increase their lead over the second-to-last team in the relegation battle to a reassuring eight points. Gregoritsch and Claude-Maurice make the difference. St. Pauli remains without a win in the second half of the season.

First, Claude-Maurice hit the post from eleven meters. Then Pauli goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj held a sharp free kick from Gregoritsch. The excitement scene was the penalty kick for St. Pauli. FCA professional Marius Wolf played the ball in his own penalty area, but then clearly hit Manolis Saliakas on the leg. Referee Sascha Stegemann pointed to the spot. The Augsburg team was upset about the supposedly unjustified whistle. Wolf saw the yellow card, as did coach Baum. And Sinani converted the penalty after a long wait. The Augsburg fans were seething. And their team struck back through Gregoritsch. Even after the break, it was an open game. Sinani missed a great chance to take the lead again for Pauli. And new signing Mat
