Haris Tabakovic scored a hat trick in Hertha’s victory over Braunschweig in the 6th round of the Second League yesterday, but he’s not the only Bosnian football player garnering attention. Specifically, St. Pauli faced off against Holsten Kiel, winning 5-1 with our national team goalkeeper, Nikola Vasilj, playing the full 90 minutes. St. Pauli displayed dominance from the very start, securing a commanding 3-0 lead by halftime. They later extended their lead and celebrated a convincing victory.
At present, St. Pauli occupies sixth place in the league, trailing the leader Fortuna Dusseldorf by only three points. Notably, St. Pauli boasts the best defense in the league, with Vasilj conceding only three goals, compared to Fortuna’s four and Wehen’s six. St. Pauli maintains an impressive goal difference of 8:3 and remains undefeated this season. It’s worth mentioning that St. Pauli consistently sells out their stadium, attracting around 29,550 spectators for every game.
In terms of statistics, Vasilj averages a goal conceded every 180 minutes, making him the standout goalkeeper in the popular Cvaja league. St. Pauli was a sensation last season and came close to securing a spot in the Bundesliga playoffs. Vasilj’s consistent performance is undoubtedly a source of satisfaction for the coach of the Bosnian national team.
