HAMBURG, Germany, Jan 27 (Reuters) - St Pauli scored with a stoppage-time penalty from Martijn Kaars to rescue a 1-1 draw against visitors RB Leipzig in a rearrangedBundesliga match on Tuesday.
Dutchman Kaars kept his cool to beat keeper Peter Gulacsi deep in second-half stoppage time, cancelling out Yan Diomande's 66th-minute goal for the visitors.
The match had been postponed earlier this month due to heavy snow and ice.
Both teams had chances in a tight first half but St Pauli keeper Nikola Vasilj could do nothing when Ivory Coast international Diomande unleashed an unstoppable shot from 20 metres out following a Leipzig corner.
Vasilj did deny the visitors a second goal in the 87th when he palmed a shot from Tidiam Gomis wide before the hosts were awarded a stoppage-time penalty which Kaars converted.
Leipzig remain fourth on 36 points, three behind Hoffenheim, who were 2-0 winners at Werder Bremenin their own postponed match.
Borussia Dortmund are in second place on 42, with leaders Bayern Munich on 50. Relegation-threatened St Pauli are 17th on 14 points.
