Holstein Kiel 2:2 St. Pauli — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Phil Harres struck in the 56th minute as Holstein Kiel clawed back from two down to draw 2-2 with FC St. Pauli in the 2. Bundesliga, a point that does little for either side’s momentum. Kiel had trailed since the 32nd minute, when Martijn Kaars opened the scoring, and looked buried when Taichi Hara doubled the lead on the stroke of half-time from Arkadiusz Pyrka’s assist.

The turning point came early in the second half, as Kiel’s Alexander Bernhardsson set up Harres to pull one back just after the hour mark, and the home side’s pressure finally told when Jonas Therkelsen levelled in the 88th minute. Five bookings punctuated a scrappy contest, with Timon Weiner and Guillermo Balzi of Kiel and Joel Chima Fujita of St. Pauli all cautioned within four minutes of the restart, while the visitors’ early control faded as Kiel grew into the game.

On the numbers, St. Pauli shaded the expected goals with 2.56 against Kiel’s 2.09 and managed 13 shots to the hosts’ 19, yet Kiel dominated possession at 64% and fired 14 attempts in the first half alone, only to trail at the break. Phil Harres was the standout with a rating of 8.1 and his goal from the forward position, leading the fightback when his side needed it most. CheckLive’s model rated Kiel marginally ahead, but the draw means that prediction proved wrong, with St. Pauli’s second-half pressure suggesting the visitors were the better side on the day.
