St. Pauli earn point from Vasilj's heroics vs Union Berlin

St. Pauli survived a late Union attack thanks to Bosnian keeper Nikola Vasilj, who made eight saves and a double to preserve a 1‑1 draw at Berlin. Vasilj’s heroics came in his first Bundesliga start since helping Bosnia beat Italy in World Cup qualifying.

The win leaves St. Pauli in 16th place, forcing a two‑leg playoff for survival, while Union Berlin remains 10th. The result also denies Wolfsburg a crucial point as they chase historic relegation.
