What a goal!
That is a strike worthy of a point as Bénes curls one into the top corner from a tight angle. Brilliant - there was nothing Zetterer could!

Huge miss!
Union should be level! Ilić has the freedom of the box, but he can't find the target as he fires wide of the post. He knows that was a great opening.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Great chance!
Hollerbach has a fantastic opportunity to equalise, but his header is straight at Zetterer. He will be disappointed!

Bremen then go straight out the other end, where Weiser can't keep his attempt down.

Wide
Hollerbach stumbles before shooting well past the post from just outside the area. Union are turning up the pressure at the start of this second half.

Union at their best as they equalise. Trimmel's cross is pinpoint for Rothe to head into the corner. Just one goal between the teams now!

Two to the good
What an afternoon Bremen and Stage are having! On this occasion, the midfielder drives towards the box and fires at goal. It is a fierce strike, and a slight deflection off Doekhi sees it fly into the top corner.

That is not the start the home side will have been hoping for. How can they respond here in front of their own supporters?

Bremen are in front!
A lightning-quick start from the visitors. Burke's cross finds Ducksch, whose swept effort hits the post. However, Stage is on hand to hammer the rebound home.

It means the 1-1 draw between Union Berlin and Bochum on Matchday 14 remains in the standings as a 2-0 win and three points for Bochum based on the DFB sports tribunal (DFB-Sportgericht) ruling of 9 January 2025.
