Union Berlin finally shows its strengths and wins against 1. FSV Mainz with 2:1. Coach Steffen Baumgart changes the system and brings 1. FC Union forward. Benedict Hollerbach praises Baumgart for the change and explains: 'It was a sensible step that paid off.' Hollerbach scores after just one minute and takes the lead. After a foul by Aljoscha Kemlein, Union concedes the equalizer, but Robert Skov converts a penalty to 2:1. Union Berlin plays with a three-man defense and can make the spaces on the pitch narrower. Baumgart explains: 'We had that in mind against Mainz from the start. We wanted to make the spaces on the pitch narrower because Mainz is very good at second balls.' The change pays off and Union Berlin wins after ten games without a win. Hollerbach is overjoyed and explains: 'It feels incredibly good. Like a ten out of ten.' Union Berlin now wants to build on the win against Mainz and also beat St. Pauli.
