Last week, the football world was stunned when minnows Union Berlin stunned the darlings of the capital city Hertha BSC with a 2-1 win in front of 74,000 at the Olympic Stadium.
On Wednesday, counterculture club St. Pauli went into the Imtech Arena (formerly the HSH Nordbank Arena, which was formerly the AOL Arena) and stunned Hamburg SV 1-0 on Gerald Asamoah's goal.
If you don't understand how big these derbies are, we'll let Hamburg sports director Bastian Reinhardt tell you how he felt.
"When I see how the St. Pauli fans are celebrating here in our stadium, I could puke," Reinhardt said.
The shot attempts were 22-4 in Hamburg's favor.
Said St. Pauli coach Holger Stanislawski: "The lads will toast the derby victory over one or more beers. But the win was lucky and we remain very focused."
