  • FC St. Pauli drew 2-2 at Arminia Bielefeld and remained winless after four league matches this season.
  • The Hamburg club has not won a competitive match for 188 days, since a 1-0 victory at Hoffenheim on Feb. 28.
  • Bielefeld moved to four points, while goals from Jannik Rochelt and Joel Grodowski were canceled out by Taichi Hara and Abdoulie Ceesay.

FC St. Pauli’s wait for a competitive victory reached 188 days after the relegated Bundesliga club drew 2-2 at Arminia Bielefeld in the second division.

Bielefeld took the lead through Jannik Rochelt in the 13th minute, but Taichi Hara equalized for St. Pauli seven minutes later. Joel Grodowski restored the home side’s advantage in the 51st minute before Abdoulie Ceesay scored St. Pauli’s second goal in the 65th.

The result left Bielefeld with four points from its opening matches, including its first home win of the season. St. Pauli has three points from three draws and remains winless after four league games. Both teams had also lost to third-tier opponents in the opening round of the German Cup.

St. Pauli’s last competitive victory came on Feb. 28, when it won 1-0 at Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. Since then, the Hamburg club has gone without a win in 10 Bundesliga matches, four second-division matches and one cup game. Under new coach Marcel Rapp, it is currently the only team in Germany’s top two divisions yet to win a competitive match this season.
