The top match on the first matchday between FC St. Pauli and BVB is also running at full speed. The Dortmund team initially led 1-0 through Serhou Guirassy, who missed the chance to make it 2-0 just a few minutes later. Only one thing is strange - the pitch.

The entire playing field has been shining in white, in addition to the obligatory green, since the first minute.

The reason for this is the choreo intro of the Kiezkicker. The home fans use a lot of confetti for their visual presentation, which then found its way onto the grass.

The first half still ran with a white and not, for example, an orange ball. During the half-time break, the paper snippets were then removed with a few leaf blowers.

In between, Alexander Blessin's team equalized. Hountondji scored with a header to make it 1-1. Waldemar Anton scored the 2-1 around 15 minutes later.
