One-time Germany defender Wolf, who moved from Dortmund to Augsburg in the summer, broke the deadlock with a superb curling strike three minutes into the second half.
Tietz doubled the home side’s lead with a well-placed header on the 67-minute mark.
St Pauli’s Carlo Boukhalfa cut the deadlock shortly after — Pauli’s first goal since returning to the league — but the visitors were unable to break through, with Kabadayi grabbing his goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time to seal the match.

The win was Augsburg’s first of the season and ended a winless run going back seven league matches, while St Pauli have now lost three from three on their return to the top flight.
On Saturday, Harry Kane scored three goals as Bayern Munich thumped promoted Holstein Kiel 6-1 away from home. Bayern are the only side to have won all three of their opening fixtures.
Later on Sunday, Mainz host Werder Bremen in the final match of the round.
