Big trouble at Hannover 96 over referee Sören Storks: In the 85th minute, 96 attacker Hendrik Weydandt was knocked off his feet by visiting goalkeeper Dejan Stovanovic in the penalty area when the score was 2: 2.
But Storks and his team decided: no penalty kick.
But things got worse for the hosts: three minutes later, Jaka Bijol saw yellow-red (this time a correct decision) and 17-year-old Igor Mantanovic scored 3-2 for FC St. Pauli in stoppage time.
Rodrigo Zalazar (2nd minute) and the ex-Schalke Guido Burgstaller (10th) ensured a quick 2-0 lead for the guests, Genki Haraguchi equalized with a brace within two minutes (53rd and 55th).
With 13 points, FC St. Pauli still holds the penultimate place in the table, but has made contact with the teams SV Sandhausen and Eintracht Braunschweig (14 points each) placed before that.
Hannover 96 is still sixth.
VfL Bochum is temporarily at the top of the table in the 2nd Bundesliga.
Thanks to two goals from Robert Tesche, Bochum won their fourth victory in a row against 1. FC Nürnberg and overtook Hamburger SV with 32 points.
The previous leader could return to first place with a success on Monday (8.30 p.m., TV: Sky) against VfL Osnabrück.
Manuel Schäffler brought the club, which is still without a win this year, into the lead (29th).
Robert Zulj quickly equalized (31st).
Tesche (73/83) secured the Bochumers their fifth home win in a row with two goals.
With 30 points, the Düsseldorfers now occupy third place behind VfL Bochum and Hamburger SV.
Dawid Kownacki (24th) scored the 1-0 for the guests, who showed the more mature play system.
Kenan Karaman (82nd) and Thomas Pledl (89th) made everything clear.
After a great pass from Alfredo Morales, Kownacki stormed the Saxons goal alone, played goalkeeper Martin Männel and pushed in for the opening goal.
In the fourth minute Florian Krüger had a good chance of scoring for the hosts to make it 1-0, but Fortuna keeper Florian Kastenmeier parried strongly.
The Bundesliga relegated appeared more serene in his attacking actions.
The FC Erzgebirge acted often erratically in the passing game and thus enabled Dusseldorf again and again opportunities through fast switching play.
