  • St. Pauli talisman Daniel Kofi-Kyereh scored in his side's 1-1 draw with fellow Bundesliga hopefuls Werder Bremen
  • Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has been in scintillating form for St. Pauli in the German Bundesliga II this season
  • His goal on Saturday afternoon means he has found the back of the net 11 times, making him the second highest scorer at St. Pauli

Ghana international Daniel-Kofi Kyereh was on target as St. Pauli shared the spoils with Werder Bremen in an entertaining draw on Saturday afternoon.

Kyereh broke the deadlock two minutes before recess as he continues to drag the Boys in Brown to German topflight football.

Kyereh's St. Pauli were hoping to return to winning ways after falling to a shock defeat to Hansa Rostock last week but were pegged back by Werder Bremen.

The home side began the game on the front foot but had to wait till the 43rd minute where talisman Kofi Kyereh cut inside his marker before rifling the ball beyond the goalkeeper.

After recess Bremen upped the ante and finally got their breakthrough after 58 minutes through Fullkrug.

It proved to be the last goal of the game as both sides failed to add to their goals.

How did Kofi Kyereh performed against Werder Bremen?

Kyereh lasted the entire duration of the game and proved pivotal to St. Pauli once again with his solitary strike earning them a point.

Kyereh's goal means he has mustered ten goals and 11 assists for the Bundesliga-chasing St. Pauli in the ongoing campaign.

How does the result affect St Pauli's chances of securing promotion?

St. Pauli are in a three-horse race with Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen for promotion to the German elite division.

The Boys in Brown are currently in third position, a point adrift Werder Bremen and Schalke - who are both locked on 53 points with Schalke leading with superior goal advantage.

It is not gloom for St. Pauli as they are sitting in the play-off position and would have to beat the 16th placed team in the Bundesliga in order to secure qualification via the play-offs.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Daniel-Kofi Kyereh appears to have picked up where he left off with a ridiculous strike in FC Saint Pauli training.

The 25-year-old is undeniably one of Ghana's most in-form players in Europe, scoring ten goals and creating eleven assists for his German club in the 2021/22 season.

The attacking midfielder was then called up to Ghana's World Cup play-offs squad, and made a brilliant cameo appearance in the second leg against Nigeria in Abuja despite missing the first fixture due to injury.
