Nine minutes into the second half, Karim Adeyemi doubled Dortmund's advantage, making it 2-0 in the 54th minute. Coming on the heels of the goal just before the interval, it gave the home side a two-goal cushion. That margin, however, would not survive St. Pauli's response later in the half.
62' James Sands (FC St. Pauli) 2-1

With the score still 2-2 deep into second-half stoppage time, Emre Can found the net in the 90+5th minute to put Dortmund back in front. It proved to be the winner, as the home side held on for a 3-2 victory. Having let a two-goal lead slip, Dortmund secured the three points at the very end.
