In the 33rd round of the 2024/25 Bundesliga, Frankfurt took the lead after Christensen's goal, but continued to concede goals. However, with Batshuayi scoring a goal, they finally tied with St. Pauli 2-2. Topmuller said that the Champions League qualification is still in the hands of the team and believes that these challenges can help the players grow faster.

Soon after the game started, Hugo Larsson dealt with a through ball from the penalty area, and Christensen received it and shot it in, helping Frankfurt to get off to a dream start with a score of 1-0. In the 4th minute, Saliacas received a pass from Morgan Guilavogui and shot it in, helping St. Pauli to tie the score at 1-1.

In the 15th minute, Morgan Guilavogui regained the ball and broke through the defense in the penalty area and scored with a low shot, helping St. Pauli take the lead 2-1.

In the 71st minute of the second half, Batshuayi received a pass from Fares Chayibi in the penalty area, turned around and shot, helping Frankfurt to equalize the score at 2-2.

In the end, Frankfurt tied St. Pauli 2-2 at home. After 2 wins and 3 draws in the last 5 rounds, Frankfurt is currently ranked third in the standings with 57 points, 2 points ahead of Freiburg in 4th place.

Frankfurt coach Topmuller said in an interview, "We had a dream start, but fell into a passive position due to some unfortunate goals. We need time to recover from the blow. Fortunately, the team responded positively in the second half. At present, the Champions League qualification is still in our own hands. Perhaps it is this challenge that can make the team grow faster."

In addition, Frankfurt will travel to Freiburg in the last round of the league, and both sides will also fight for the Champions League qualification.

Topmuller said, "We didn't play at our best. We needed to be sharp and calm on the field, which is exactly what we lacked. Even so, if someone told us at the beginning of the season that we could take such an initiative before the last round, I would definitely accept it. Our situation is better than Freiburg, but we will not just ask for a draw, we want to achieve the final goal."

Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp said, "We certainly wanted to get a different result. We started very well and took the lead in less than a minute. The atmosphere in the stadium was already very hot before the game started. I believe that many fans will leave disappointed after the game."

"Whatever the result, we've worked hard, and that's why the disappointment is even stronger. I think I've been at Frankfurt for 13 years and I've never experienced a situation where everything was decided before the last round. This is Frankfurt, it always makes people's heart beat faster. But I have no doubt that we will achieve our goal in the end."
