Leipzig survived a late scare to secure a Champions League return for next season and a 2-1 win over St. Pauli made sure of third place in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Leipzig was leading 2-0 with both goals from corners after Xaver Schlager bundled in a loose ball just before halftime and Willi Orban headed in shortly after the break. Relegation-threatened St. Pauli showed late signs of life through Abdoulie Ceesay's 86th-minute goal off an unusual long-range header assist by Jackson Irvine.
