In the group stage of the Europa League, Union Berlin not only didn’t score a goal, but also did not win a point in the first two rounds, however, the minimal defeats against Royal Union and Braga obviously did not have a negative impact on the Bundesliga leader, who after the triumph over Cologne (1:0) continued the series of good results on the domestic scene by defeating Wolfsburg (2:0).Jordan Pefok for Union Berlin across all competitions this season 👀👕 8 games⚽️ 4 goals🅰️ 2 assistsUnion Berlin are sitting 2 points clear at first in the Bundesliga if this result stands. pic.twitter.com/rlhnmNVnNA— USMNT Only (@usmntonly) September 18, 2022 Bayern’s unusual spiling of points, as well as the fact that Dortmund is not immune to setbacks, was used by Urs Fischer’s team to take the top position in the German championship, and the new victim, the fifth in seven rounds, was Wolfsburg. Although the guests arrived in the capital of Germany with the sole aim of preserving a clean sheet and succeeded in doing so for the first 45 minutes, it was clear from the play in the first half that Niko Kovac’s team faced a practically impossible mission.
The defensive approach of the rival Union was finally punished in the 54th minute, and Jordan Siebatcheu found the way to the rival’s net. The American striker, who presented himself in an excellent way after his arrival from Young Boys, was interrupted by an injury, after which he was goalless in the previous two meetings, and he returned to the goalscoring track by checking Casteels with an assist from Sherald Becker.The home team’s goal wasn’t a wakeup call for Wolfsburg, who in the continuation of the match threatened the rival rather weak, but the modest edition of the visitors was not a reason for Union to relax. Threats from Khedira and Thorsby followed, and after half chances by his teammates, Becker doubled the lead in the 77th minute with an assist from Seguin and resolved all dilemmas. The guests, who showed themselves in a modest light, do not have too many reasons for regret, bearing in mind that they threatened more seriously only in the 33rd minute when Brekalo shot wide of the goal, and they fully deserved their fourth defeat and remained in the penultimate position with five points.BUNDESLIGA – ROUND 7FridayMainz – Hertha 1-1 (0-1)/Caci 90+4 – Tousart 30/SaturdayAugsburg – Bayern 1-0 (0-0)/Berisha 59/Bayer Leverkusen – Werder Bremen 1-0 (0-0)/Demirbay 57 – Veljkovic 82/Borussia Dortmund – Schalke 1-0 (0-0)/Mokouko 79/Stuttgart – Eintracht 1-3 (0-1)/Tomas 79 – Rode 6, Kamada 55, Jakic 88/Borussia Monchengladbach – Leipzig 3-0 (2-0)/Hofmann 10, 35, Bensebaini 53/SundayUnion Berlin – Wolfsburg 2-0 (0-0)/Siebatcheu 54, Becker 77/Bochum – Koln 1-0 (1-0)/Schmitz (og) 920:30: (2.30) Hoffenheim (3.50) Freiburg (3.25)
