Ohlsson saves St. Pauli with “Action of the Day” victory against Darmstadt

The drama still had one punch line left. In literally the last second, it was thanks to Sebastian Ohlsson that the game between FC St. Pauli and Darmstadt did not take another turn and instead the Kiez kickers kept all three points at Millerntor.

It was a completely crazy end to a completely crazy second half. Last action, corner of Darmstadt. Keeper Marcel Schuhe in the penalty area, St. Pauli’s defender Leart Paqarada not because referee Bacher had sent him out.

Timo Schultz on Ohlsson rescue: “Action of the day”

“Bloody nose, you mustn’t be on the field with blood, period”, St. Pauli’s coach Schultz assessed the referee’s decision firmly and was glad afterwards that the “lilies” did not benefit from this excess in front of the box.

“Seb Ohlsson lies across the line and tries to push the ball away somehow, the ball hits the lower edge of the bar, and two people throw themselves in front of it,” said the coach, describing the goal (r) huwabohu.

For Schultz “certainly the action of the day”. And for Ohlsson, at St. Pauli in a year and a half without a goal of his own, even more valuable than a goal? “Yes,” was the coach’s reply. “He’s the one who clears the ball on the line,” said Schultz and saw his Swede as part of the bigger picture: “That’s what sets the team apart, this savior mentality in the last situation.”
