Second half highlights:
48‘: Alvez pulls one back. Alvez is able to carry the ball through the midfield unopposed. With no one pressing him on the edge of the box, the St. Gallen substitute takes aim and fires a well-placed effort past Michael Zetterer into the bottom right corner.
59’: Brilliant play from Eren Dinkci! Werder create their first threatening opportunity of the second half and almost go 3-1 up. Eren Dinkci beats a man in the penalty area, but Lukas Watkowiak manages to extend a right leg to prevent the effort.
75’: Almost a dream goal for Manuel Mbom. After a combination on the left-hand side, Dikeni Salifou finds himself in space and crosses for the advancing Manuel Mbom. Unfortunately, his finish is not placed well enough and he misses to the right-hand side of the goal.
82‘: Almost an equaliser! Ndombasi finds himself in space in the Werder box and shoots. Luckily for Werder, Niklas Stark was alert to the situation and throws himself at the shot. Head coach Ole Werner makes his frustrations at the lax defending known.
90+1’: Equaliser in additional time. Werder had seemed to take control of the game again, but St. Gallen somehow find a way through. Ndombasi is released in the box, and Christian Groß is too late to make an effective tackle. Michael Zetterer is unable to do anything to stop a powerful finish.
90+3’: The game ends 2-2 at the Pinatar Arena. After a good performance in the first time with SVW clinical finishing, FC St. Gallen showed themselves to be just as clinical in the second half, and scored in additional time to tie the game up at two goals apiece.
