HAMBURG, Germany (AP) — St. Pauli won for the first time in seven games after a Noah Weißhaupt goal gave the Hamburg side a 1-0 victory over Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Friday.
St. Pauli moved five points clear of the relegation zone after a rare home win.
Weißhaupt scored but Philipp Treu did the hard work, seizing on a poor pass out from goalkeeper Oliver Baumann before neatly lifting it over the stranded goalie and feeding it sideways for Weißhaupt to score into the empty net.
St. Pauli completed a double over Hoffenheim, which was in 13th, one point above St. Pauli.
