A dramatic late surge secured a 3–1 comeback victory for Bayern Munich in their home match against FC St. Pauli on Matchday 12 of the Bundesliga. Despite dominating for long stretches, Bayern needed added time to finally break the resistance of the visitors.

In the 93rd minute, Luis Díaz capped off a sweeping attacking move, steering in a pinpoint cross from Joshua Kimmich. Moments later, substitute Jackson delivered the knockout blow, ensuring Vincent Kompany’s side avoided what could have been one of the most frustrating draws of the season.

The night also brought three new milestones for Kompany’s team — each worthy of a headline:

- Bayern have now scored 2+ goals in 20 consecutive league matches, matching the 2013 record set under Pep Guardiola.
- The club completed their 44th straight matchday at the top of the Bundesliga table, surpassing the long-standing record held since 1973 under Udo Lattek.
- Manuel Neuer made his 534th Bundesliga appearance, moving to second place all-time among goalkeepers, behind only the legendary Oliver Kahn.
