Gladbach pull one back!

It's a fine header from Pléa, meeting a cross from the right and planting it in the top corner, but it's surely too little, too late for the guests.

Done deal!

That's surely it for Union! Kaufmann does brilliantly to skip past a defender before smashing a shot in from the edge of the box!

Over from Haberer!

A Juranovic free-kick strikes the wall and the ball falls at the feet of Haberer, lurking near the penalty spot. He strikes it first time with his right foot, but it sails over the bar.

Union double their lead!

And it's no less than they deserve! The ball is played back to Hollerbach, arriving on the edge of the area, and his low shot goes through a crowd of legs and pings into the bottom corner.

Half-time: Union 1-0 Gladbach

Without a Bundesliga win since Matchday 2, Union are on course for three much-needed points to lift them off the foot of the table. They've been good throughout the half, and lead thanks to Kevin Volland's penalty.

What a volley!

Roussillon with an absolutely sensational volley on the left, plucking a lofted pass into the box out of the sky. It's arrowing towards the bottom corner, but a defender sticks out a leg to block.

Union lead!

It's been coming, as the host have been on top so far. Volland makes no mistake from the spot following a handball, sending Nicolas the wrong way, diving off to his left, before coolly slotting the ball in the opposite corner.

Over from Behrens

Gosens lobs a ball over the visiting defence and Behrens is onto it straight away. Nicolas rushes off his line to narrow the angle so Behrens goes for the lob, but it lands on the roof of the net!

Pléa has a go

The Frenchman tries to get something going for Gladbach by lining a shot up from distance. He's a long way out and the ball deflects off a defender on its way through, before going out for a corner.

Bjelica's view of Gladbach

"Gladbach are in good form at the moment. We'll have to be at our best level to win on Saturday. The lads have worked very hard and very well this week. I hope that tomorrow - with the support of the fans - we can put everything we've trained into practice. I'm really looking forward to my first home game and to a full stadium."

Seoane's view of Union

"When a new coach comes in, there's always a change and a bit of a shake-up. We're preparing for different scenarios. In Berlin, we're expecting a team who are physically robust, strong at set pieces and backed by their fans. I'm expecting Union to attack with lots of energy and power. That'll be a challenge for us. We'll have to win the individual battles and attack well."

Favourable record

Union have won their last four Bundesliga meetings with the Foals, and are unbeaten in six league games against their Matchday 14 opponents.
