With Bundesliga record

Eight hits: Union and Stuttgart deliver a spectacle

4: 4 at halftime -Union Berlin and Stuttgart have set up a new Bundesliga record. After that, however, not much happens.

There is hardly any more spectacle: Union Berlin and VfB Stuttgart separated 4: 4 in the Saturday evening of the 30th Bundesliga match day. All hits were scored in the first half. Never scored more goals in the first round of a Bundesliga game.

Andrej Ilić (5th, 45.+6), Diogo Leite (19th) and Leopold Querfeld (38th) scored for Union, Deniz Undav (23rd), Enzo Millot (29th), Jeff Chabot (43.) and Chris Leaders (45.+1) scored the goals of the guests.

The record for hit hit in a half was set up on November 6, 1982 in the Dortmund Westfalenstadion. BVB scored ten goals after the break at 11: 1 (1: 1) against Arminia Bielefeld.

Union secures the relegation prematurely through the point and remains in table position 13. Stuttgart ranks two ranks in front of it.

“Nobody plans anything other than the first division, nobody trembles here anymore,” said coach Steffen Baumgart before the match day. Rather, the Unioners immediately cheered on a memorable evening. Ilić dusted out of a short distance after VfB defender Chabot had clarified a header from Danilho Doehki to the corner of Trimmen in front of the striker’s feet.

Union tried to rob the Swabians the rooms for their combination football. And luck was also hold at first. The Berliners had moved too far when the leadership of Mittelstracher was sent by Middle Demirović (11th) with a long blow, but in one-on-one with Union goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow, he put the ball so far that he turned into the goal.

Such a failure should take revenge quickly. This time after free kick from Trimmel, the crossfield led on to head, which hit undisturbed. The big Union party seemed safe, but then it got really wild. From nowhere, Stuttgart came back with Undav’s long -range shot, his first goal since January 18, back, Millot quickly gave up with a lot of feeling. But crossfield went one step further when he was drosing the ball in 3-2 into the goal.

At the latest now, both teams ran without loss of losses and the game escalated completely. In a first half, in which defense work did not exist, rewarded Chabot and leading the increasingly oppressive VfB with the leadership, with Ilić giving the game the next turn with his second goal, this time. And Bundesliga history wrote.

At half-time Baumgart and VfB coach Sebastian Hoeneß seemed to have found the right words. The defensive series were now more secure, no comparison to the partly bird winds from section one. As a direct result, the game folded off, there were hardly any chances. A long -range shot from Union Benedict Hollerbach (56.) flew, one would have turned out differently at halftime, clearly over the goal.
