BERLIN (AP) — Japan midfielder Yuito Suzuki scored his first Bundesliga goal to help Freiburg beat St. Pauli 2-1 on Sunday.
The 24-year-old Suzuki, who joined Freiburg from Danish team Brøndby in the offseason, struck five minutes before the break after he intercepted St. Pauli goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj’s attempted clearance of a corner.
Maximilian Eggestein made it 2-0 from close range five minutes after the break, before a goal from St. Pauli’s Louis Oppie against the run of play in the 69th set up a heated finale.
Jackson Irvine went close for the visitors late on, but couldn’t prevent the promoted team’s seventh straight league defeat.
