The derby between St. Pauli and Hamburg ended in a goalless 0-0 draw, a match characterized by a lack of risk and chances. Both teams, in difficult league positions, prioritized defense and avoided taking risks, resulting in a dull and uneventful game. St. Pauli remained unbeaten at home against Hamburg since 2019, but failed to improve their position in the relegation zone. Hamburg, on the other hand, remain the only team in the Bundesliga without an away win. The draw represents the minimum gain for both teams, who are called upon to improve their performance to escape the crisis.
