Martijn Kaars' stoppage-time penalty helped struggling St. Pauli snatch a 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig at Millerntor-Stadion on Tuesday. Ole Werner's side were on track for all three points after Yan Diomande's second-half strike, but Kaars levelled up from 12 yards after being taken out by David Raum in the box.
