On Saturday, Luis Díaz and Nicolas Jackson scored in stoppage time, saving Bayern Munich from a potential upset with a 3-1 victory over St. Pauli in the Bundesliga.

Even if Bayern had lost, they would still have set a new league record of leading the Bundesliga for 44 straight matchdays.

Three minutes into added time, Díaz redirected Joshua Kimmich's cross with his shoulder, crushing St. Pauli's hope of earning a point. Soon after, Serge Gnabry assisted Jackson, who scored again.

These goals extended St. Pauli’s losing streak in the league to nine games and helped Bayern avoid some tough questions, especially after their first defeat of the season against Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday.

A tie against the newly promoted team from Hamburg would have marked Bayern's second draw in three league games, after Union Berlin ended their record-breaking 16-game winning streak to start the season with a 2-2 draw on Nov. 8.

Andreas Hountondji shocked Bayern early on, scoring in the sixth minute by shooting the ball between Manuel Neuer's legs after Mathias Pereira Lage won the ball from Konrad Laimer.

The scorer had to be subbed off soon after due to a thigh injury.

Lennart Kark and, later, Tom Bischoff both hit the post as Bayern looked to respond.

Their efforts paid off just before halftime when Díaz set up Raphaël Guerreiro for the tying goal. Díaz initially attempted to control the ball but, after losing his footing, backheeled it to Guerreiro.

Harry Kane also hit the post late in the game as Bayern continued to search for the winning goal.

Elsewhere, Heidenheim also scored twice in stoppage time to secure a 2-1 win at Union, moving them off the bottom of the table. St. Pauli fell to last place.

Said El Mala scored in stoppage time for Cologne, drawing their game at Werder Bremen 1-1. Bremen’s Niklas Stark was ejected after committing two bad fouls on the Cologne player.

Hoffenheim easily defeated Augsburg 3-0, with all goals scored in the first half.

Bayer Leverkusen played Borussia Dortmund later that day.

Luis Diaz and Nicolas Jackson scored late goals, helping Bayern Munich come back to win 3-1 against a tough St. Pauli team. Andreas Hountondji shocked the home crowd with an early goal, but Raphael Guerreiro tied the score just before halftime. It seemed like Vincent Kompany's team would have to settle for a tie, but Diaz and Jackson changed everything.

Bayern's Late Game Heroics

After Bayern's 3-1 loss to Arsenal earlier in the week, they hoped for a strong start. Instead, Hountondji scored in the sixth minute after Joshua Kimmich and Konrad Laimer lost the ball. Soon after, the injured goal scorer left the field. Lennart Karl's shot then hit the post, and Harry Kane missed a good chance. Tom Bischof's deflected shot also bounced off the post as Bayern searched for an equalising goal. Finally, a minute before halftime, Diaz managed to pass the ball to Guerreiro while falling, and he scored from close range. Bayern brought on Michael Olise, Josip Stanisic, Serge Gnabry, and Leon Goretzka in the second half. Even though they had control of the game, they struggled to break through St. Pauli's defence. Kane almost scored, but his shot hit the post. Just when it looked like St. Pauli would earn a point, Diaz scored a header in the 93rd minute after a great cross from Kimmich. Then, Jackson scored on a counterattack in the 97th minute, increasing Bayern's lead in the Bundesliga.

The Real Difference

St. Pauli's defence played with all their might to win something from the game, but Diaz stood out. He showed determination and quick thinking with his assist, and he was in the perfect spot to score the winning goal.

The Unfortunate Team

St. Pauli. They defended well for a long time, but Bayern's skill was too much. Even though they're still near the bottom of the league, this game should prove to them that they can fight hard and earn points even when things are difficult.
