Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Ghana and St Pauli attacker Daniel-Kofi Kyereh was on the scoresheet for the German Bundesliga hopefuls as they secured a slim win over Heidenheim on Friday night.

The 25-year-old midfielder struck gold for St Pauli seven minutes after the half-hour mark to clinch the maximum three points at stake.
