Werder Bremen – Union Berlin 0-2
If you had to paint a perfect move, Union Berlin’s first goal would be a possible model. Central defender Knoche plays wide ball down, Awoniyi takes over, puts colleague Becker on the scene, shot from 16 yards, goal. Simple, efficient, Union Berlin. Urs Fischer’s team have scored in every competitive match so far, and Liverpool Awoniyi’s loan is one more thing before the break. It is the choice. Because the Berliners allow almost nothing in the rear and are even closer to the third goal at the end. The reward is fourth place in the table, which would entitle you to participate in the Champions League. Amazing.
The objectives: 12. Becker 0: 1. 28. Awoniyi 0: 2.
The Swiss: Urs Fischer is on the sidelines of the Köpenicker for the 92nd time. His record: 37 wins and 27 losses.
1. FC Cologne 0-1 Augsburg
For a long time, it seemed that highly defensive Cologne players could salvage a goalless draw at goal: a header from Augsburg’s most capable forward Florian Niederlechner was not recognized due to offside. Effzeh, who struggled out of relegation qualification thanks to a good year-end phase, defended smartly and consistently for a long time. But in the end it is not flawless. Caliguiri prevails on the right, fits with Niederlechner and leans towards Iago. Augsburg leads and more than rightly for one opportunity or another. Cologne can no longer operate the much-mentioned switch. The reaction after 0: 1? It is equal to zero. So another big competitor also loses on Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, Augsburg is in the top ten.
The door: 77. Iago 0: 1.
The Swiss: Nati’s wing, Rubén Vargas, plays for Augsburg until the 70th minute.
Hoffenheim – Freiburg 1: 3
A half to forget for the home team! Santamaria hits with the first offensive action in Freiburg. As if that wasn’t enough, playmaker Rudy injured his knee and had to be replaced. Just five minutes later, the Kraichgauer have to change again: Akpoguma also injured his knee, also without counter influence. But that’s not all: a corner kick bounces off the hand of a TSG player and Grifo converts safely – 0: 2. Only ten minutes later: Former YB player Kasim Adams Nuhu spits the ball into his own goal without counter pressure. Freiburg leads 3-0 after 45 minutes and you probably don’t know how or why. After the tea break, Hoffenheim presses and wants to go back. Bebou regains hope with his goal, Freiburg Stonewall. And the troop of jokes is forming well. It’s still 3: 1 for guests.
The objectives: 7. Santamaria 0: 1, 34. Grifo 0: 2, 43. Adams (ET) 0: 3, 58. Bebou 1: 3
