Kömür getting amongst it
Last week against Heidenheim, Augsburg's winning goal was a product of the substitute Keven Schlotterbeck and Mert Kömür, and today Kömür himself struck – the 19-year-old's second Bundesliga goal.

Out of nowhere
St. Pauli had the game under control for long spells, but failed to maintain the pressure in the second half. Substitutes Steve Mounié and Kömür - brought on as Thorup opted to go all-in late on in the piece - created the chances that led to the somewhat lucky equaliser.
83'
Kömür with the leveller!
The Augsburg substitute gets his side back in the match - with their first shot on goal! A high cross from Giannoulis on the left falls for the youngster who, in a tightly packed area, conjures a superb volley that beats Vasiljhands down. Spectacular!

Almost 2-0!
Jackson Irvine makes a strong run deep down the right, and his low cross almost leads to a second own-goal:Chrislain Matsima clears with a sliding tackle, but the ball goes only narrowly wide of the post.
63'
Augsburg have to do more
This is not a spectacular offensive display. Neither team is creating much danger in the second half, despite plenty of effort. Augsburg have to start taking more risks if they are to change the dynamics of the game.

Strong stats for Treu
The left-back has taken three of his team's four shots on goal - one of which up the own-goal -and he also won an impressive 70 percent of his duels in the first 45 minutes.
55'
Augsburg getting closer
Augsburg almost get theri first shot off. Wolf gets through on the right and crosses, but Essende's attempt is blocked - and in any case the flag is raised for offside.
52'
Eggestein takes too long
After Saliakas's smart run is picked out with a superb pass from Irvine, the Greek gets the ball to Eggestein. But the striker needs too long and the opportunity evaporates.

We're back
Visibility is still not optimal, but we're moving forward.

Guilavogui in the spotlight
The statistics very much match what we've seen so far. Almost 70 per cent of all attacks by Pauli are coming down the right – that is, via Guilavogui, who also set up the goal.
27'
Weißhaupt in the mood
From the right, Guilavogui crosses flatly into the near post for Weißhaupt, who sees his shot blocked. It goes out for a corner but no danger ensues.
23'
Pauli's defensive credentials
The hosts have conceded just 21 goals this season. Only Bayern (16) have done better. It won't be easy for Augsburg to get back into the game here.
21'
Dubious honour
At 18 years and 2 months old, Noahkai Banks has become the youngest own-goal scorer in Bundesliga history, replacing Vladimir Maljkovic, who was around 2 months older when he scored his own-goal for Frankfurt in December 2000.
20'
Treu has to wait
If it hadn't ended up as an own goal, Philipp Treu would have been celebrating his first Bundesliga goal, from his 13th shot on target in the top flight.

No shots yet
After fifteen minutes, it is clear that both teams are playing with great physical commitment and are staying solid at the back. St. Pauli are putting a little more pressure on in attack, but there has not yet been a shot on target.
11'
First chance
Morgan Guilavogui plays Noah Weißhaupt in on the left with the inside of his boot. Weißhaupt bers down on goal and is only stopped on the edge of the box. In any case the offside flag had gone up.
10'
St Pauli not letting up
The number of passes is increasing and St. Pauli are playing around the opposing third. However, the crosses so far have not found any takers. Meanwhile, Augsburg are yet created any chances.

Pauli push
After a brief feeling-out period, St. Pauli make their mark on the wings, first on the right and then, after a skilful ball win, on the left. However, Noah Weißhaupt fouls his man and the move breaks down.

More on those teams
As expected, Eric Smith returns to the starting line-up for St. Pauli after serving a yellow-card suspension, while Lars Ritzka, who is also injured, is absent. This is the only change for the Hamburgers compared to the previous week. Like his opposite number, Jess Thorup is only making one change to his team from last weekend. Kristijan Jakić, who was missing last week through injury, is set to start instead of Arne Maier (bench).

St. Pauli to hold minute's silence
As part of the Remembrance Day in German Football initiative, St. Pauli have been granted permission to hold a minute's silence before kick-off against Augsburg to commemorate the victims of the Nazi regime. Both teams will also carry a banner stating 'No forgiveness' and 'No forgetting' as they take to the pitch.
Streak killers?
Augsburg could set two club records on Matchday 20: most consecutive Bundesliga wins (four) and most consecutive away wins (three). However, in three previous visits, they've never won a game at St. Pauli.
