Record bodes well
The last time Wolfsburg squandered a two-goal lead after half-time was back in May 2021, over four and a half years ago. On that occasion, they still managed a 2-2 draw at Leipzig.
51'
Too slow
Wimmer is played through and loses the foot race against Trimmel. There was real potential in that had he not been caught.
48'
Painful one for Köhn
Wimmer accidentally stamps on Köhn, who stays down after the incident. After some brief treatment, however, he continues.
46'
We're back underway!
It's Union who get the ball rolling. Wolfsburg make one change at the interval: the 18-year-old Bürger comes on to make his home Bundesliga debut and second league appearance for the Wolves, replacing Kumbedi, who had been booked.
