Eight saves not enough
Vasilj recorded eight saves and allowed three goals, but also an own goal in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Wolfsburg.
Analysis: Vasilj produced eight saves in Saturday's 3-1 Bundesliga home loss to Wolfsburg, fighting all game long to keep St. Pauli afloat, including two sharp close-range stops on Adam Daghim in the first half that briefly kept the match within reach before he unfortunately bundled a corner into his own net in the 64th minute to make it 3-0, with VAR confirming the goal after St. Pauli's appeals for a foul were waved away. His shot-stopping showed both his individual quality and the sheer pressure Wolfsburg applied throughout, but the own goal ended up being the knockout blow that killed off any realistic chance of a comeback and ultimately sealed St. Pauli's relegation after two straight Bundesliga seasons. Vasilj finishes the campaign with five clean sheets and 125 saves across 34 Bundesliga starts.
Allows one in each half
Vasilj allowed two goals while making three saves during Saturday's 2-1 loss to RB Leipzig.
Analysis: Vasilj allowed a goal in each half as St. Pauli dropped all three points Saturday. The keeper has allowed two goals in each of his last three starts while combining for nine saves over that stretch. St. Pauli are in the relegation zone in 17th place, but have a chance to survive in a crucial relegation head-to-head battle during next week's season finale against Wolfsburg.
