You set yourself up!
Union defended the top of the table with the 2-0 win against Wolfsburg and are now five (!) points ahead of Bayern after 14 games without defeat.
The goals: A Becker cross ennobles Jordan with a header – 1:0 (55th). “Bum Bum” Becker makes it 2-0 (77th) after Seguin’s dream pass.
Union has the top scorer and top scorer (three additional assists) in Geraldo Becker (6 goals this season). Becker at DAZN: “The trainer said I always have to go into 1:1 situations with my speed. That worked.”
Listen! Kovac mocked by Union fans

The most beautiful Union message: Timo Baumgartl (26) celebrates his comeback after his testicular cancer. 152 days after his last game in the DFB Cup semifinals at RB Leipzig (1: 2), he starts in the back three.
Baumgartl: “That’s what I dreamed of during chemotherapy.”
Coach Urs Fischer (56): “It’s impressive how the team delivered. 122 kilometers three days after a difficult European Cup game – great!” In the Europa League Union went 0-1 in Braga last Thursday.
The big question before the game: where is Max Kruse (34)?
The ex-Unioner and Wolfsburg striker, suspended by coach Nico Kovac (50), is not seen at the Alte Försterei, although he lives only 25 minutes away by car. Discussions about a contract termination are to take place this week. The Union fans sneer: “Without Kruse you have no chance!” Wolfsburg is penultimate with only five goals.
Niko Kovac has to turn things around after the international break. Boss Jörg Schmadtke: “There is no coaching discussion. We have to get out of this together.”
