During their visit to Union Berlin (1:1), the Bosnian goalkeeper was the hero and the brightest spot of his team, earning them a point in the desperate battle for survival in the German elite.
The guests started the match excellently and shocked the home fans in the 25th minute with a beautiful goal by Mathias Pereira Lage. However, Union managed to crown their field initiative in the 52nd minute when Andrej Iliฤ scored for 1:1.
After the equalizer, a complete offensive and domination by the Berlin team followed, but an insurmountable obstacle stood in St. Pauli's goal.
Vasilj made a total of seven saves, six of which were inside the box. Thanks to an outstanding performance, he deservedly earned the title of the highest-rated player in his team.
St. Pauli thus avoided defeat and currently holds the 16th position in the table. This is the spot that at the end of the season brings additional qualifiers (play-out) for survival against the third-placed team from the 2. Bundesliga.
