“Double booking as tensions rise early with Köhn and Burcu both cautioned within moments of each other”
“Woo-yeong Jeong breaks the deadlock with a left-footed strike from the right side of the penalty area in stoppage time”
Pivotal
SC Freiburg
FC Union Berlin
Union Berlin secured a dramatic late victory at Freiburg through Woo-yeong Jeong's 90th-minute winner, capitalizing on their substitute's impact in a match that seemed destined for a goalless draw. The South Korean forward, who had only entered the game in the 64th minute, found space on the right side of the penalty area to fire home with his left foot during what became nine minutes of added time. Freiburg controlled large portions of the match but lacked the cutting edge in the final third, with both Derrick Köhn and Livan Burcu picking up early yellow cards that reflected the hosts' frustration. This crucial three points lifts Union Berlin further away from relegation concerns while leaving Freiburg to rue their inability to capitalize on home advantage in what was an even contest until the final moments.
