Baumgartl celebrates the comeback, Union insists

The game offered the first highlight before kick-off: at Union, Timo Baumgartl made his comeback in the starting XI after he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and was forced to take a five-month break. . And Köpenick’s people quickly created highlights on the pitch too. Jannik Haberer tested VfL goalkeeper Koen Casteels with a direct acceptance after 42 seconds, Sheraldo Becker overtook him in the third minute.

Wolfsburg only good against the ball

Wolfsburg were visibly impressed and after surviving the Berlin Sturm und Drang they were even lower but this gave them confidence in their game and calm in the game. At least in terms of defense. Lower Saxony did not know what to do with the ball, the offensive game was characterized by misunderstandings and bad passes. The only opportunity for the “Wolves” of the first round was lost by Josip Brekalo: 31 minutes had already been played.

Siebatcheu hits the VfL in the heart

Even after the second half, the first minutes are of the hosts, who once again fail to take advantage of two top chances (47th, 50th). The goalless draw was meanwhile flattering for the “wolves”. Luck finally runs out in the 55th minute: Becker crosses for Jordan Siebatcheu, who heads 1-0.

“Wolves” without humor and speed

Despite being behind, Coach Kovac’s side remained cautious in attack. Wolfsburg have a big problem as soon as they have to play the game, as was evident again this afternoon. Union just had to lock rooms and pay attention to standards – VfL was so easy to calculate.

Seguin initiates the decision against his former club

At 77 ‘the decision was made by Becker of Berlin. Former Wolfsburg player Paul Seguin threw the ball into the striker’s run, who grabbed it with his shoulder and completed it for the 2-0, which is worth seeing.

In the stands, Union fans weren’t just in the mood for celebrating their league advantage. Guests were also given one to take with them: “You have no chance without Kruse,” he rang out through the old forester’s hut. It is unknown where Max Kruse, banned from VfL, attended the match against his former club.
