St. Pauli's bundled delivery process - This Afolayan is also significant in the first division.
Later, supporters hoisted this English striker on their shoulders, honoring him as the scoring sensation who played in the third division only two years prior.
Afolayan: "Everything here feels so magical. We've come together like a family and accomplished something truly substantial over these months. What transpired here is just colossal. Today, surrounded by my loved ones and numerous friends, I couldn't be happier. It's an incredible day."
Though he scored his second goal, Afolayan felt somewhat apprehensive about their promotion from the second division: "It wasn't till our third goal that it truly sunk in. That's when we took the lead."
The significance of competing in the Bundesliga for him is paramount: "This opportunity means the world to me. I've been involved in professional soccer for six or seven years now. Being here today is quite remarkable."
He's also reminiscing about the unforgettable celebration, where he was carried around for an extended period: "Unbelievable. There's so much warmth and joy. I was just overwhelmed."
Given his skill set, Afolayan is set to make an impact in the Bundesliga too. With his nine goals, especially during pivotal moments throughout the season, he's one of the leaders responsible for their promotion. A valuable asset that St. Pauli will undeniably require moving forward.
