FC St. Pauli

The disappointment after the 4-3 reverse against Elversberg, the first home defeat in the league this season, was tangible. Here's the pick of the post-match reaction.

FC St. Pauli were beaten 4-3 by SV 07 Elversberg in front of 29,546 spectators at the Millerntor on Sunday. Johannes Eggestein gave his side a first-half lead, only for Maurice Neubauer to equalise after the restart. Marcel Hartel fired the Boys in Brown back in front, but goals from Joseph Boyamba, just moments later, Paul Wanner and Hugo Vandermersch set the visitors on the road to victory. Jackson Irvine pulled one back in stoppage time, but it proved too late.

Jackson Irvine levelled the scores at 1-1 with a bullet header at Karlsruher SC at the weekend and had a second goal ruled out for offside. After training on Tuesday, the skipper took time out to talk to the media.
