FC St Pauli vs VfL Wolfsburg

In a winner-takes-all relegation decider, Wolfsburg condemned St. Pauli to the drop with a 3-1 victory at the Millerntor on the final matchday. The pivotal moment came when goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj inadvertently turned the ball into his own net from a corner, with VAR dismissing the hosts' furious protests. Konstantinos Koulierakis headed Wolfsburg ahead from a set piece in the first half before Abdoulie Ceesay levelled for St. Pauli with a similar finish. Vasilj's own goal restored the visitors' lead, and when Tomoya Ando was penalised for handball, Christian Eriksen saw his spot kick rattle the woodwork — only for Dženan Pejčinović to pounce on the rebound and seal a decisive 3-1. Three of the four goals came from corners in a set-piece-dominated affair. St. Pauli, promoted just two years ago, are relegated after a gruelling second season back in the top flight. Wolfsburg live to fight another day, but must now navigate a two-legged playoff against one of Elversberg, Hannover, or Paderborn to protect their 29-year Bundesliga tenure.
