St. Pauli recorded their sixth draw of the season after a goalless encounter at relegation-threatened Darmstadt. Five of those results came in their away fixtures as Marcel Rapp's side failed to convert their clear-cut chances on Friday.
The hosts have only lost once at home, but they remain in the relegation zone due to losing all their first four games on the road. Florian Kohfeldt's men were second best against last season's Bundesliga club, but they managed to keep their first clean sheet of the season a week after losing 4-0 at Karlsruhe.
Darmstadt will face Bundesliga debutants Elversberg in midweek cup action, while St. Pauli, who suffered an early cupset at 3. Liga outfit RW Essen in the first round, entertain second-placed Nürnberg on the first day of November.
