Union Berlin secured a dramatic final victory at the Europa-Park-Stadion, with substitute Jeong Woo-Yeong scoring in stoppage time.
SC Freiburg welcomed Union Berlin in a pivotal Bundesliga clash on March 15, 2026. Eighth-placed Freiburg were aiming for European contention, while the 11th-placed team sought crucial points to distance themselves from the relegation zone. Both teams entered the game looking for a rebound in form.
The home side started strongly, dominating possession and pushing forward from the kick-off. Freiburg controlled the ball for long stretches, dictating the pace of the game. Early crosses and probing passes tested Union Berlin’s defence.
However, Union’s D. Kohn was shown a yellow card in the 17th minute for fouling. This first booking highlighted the physical nature of the away team’s defensive approach. Despite this, Freiburg continued to create chances.
Freiburg registered multiple shots, forcing Union goalkeeper Matheo Raab into action. The visiting keeper showed early signs of a strong performance, collecting shots with confidence and stopping efforts. The first half remained scoreless despite Freiburg’s pressure.
In the half, the Freiburg coach certainly emphasized converting his chances. Union Berlin, meanwhile, would have settled for a clean sheet, looking to maintain their defensive form and perhaps find a moment on the counter-attack.
The second half mirrored the first in intensity, with Freiburg pressing hard for an early goal. Changes followed, with Freiburg bringing on L. Holer in the 61st minute to add fresh attacking impetus. Union responded shortly after.
Union Berlin made a double substitution in the 64th minute, with I. Ansah and eventual match-winner Jeong Woo-Yeong coming on. These tactical adjustments were intended to inject rhythm and creativity into their infrequent forays. Still, Raab remained the busiest goalkeeper.
As the clock ticked down, Freiburg continued to bombard the Union goal. However, Raab stood his ground, thwarting all attempts. His impressive saves kept the Union in the game, frustrating both the home crowd and the Freiburg forwards.
Then, at minute 90+2, the unthinkable happened for the locals. From a rare Union attack, Stanley N’Soki made a crucial assist. Substitute Jeong Woo-Yeong latched onto the pass and fired home, silencing the Europa-Park-Stadion crowd.
The late goal left Freiburg stunned and without time to respond. Union’s L. Burcu has received a yellow card for unsportsmanlike conduct in the 90+3 minute, a sign of the rising emotions. The final whistle confirmed the Union’s unlikely triumph.
The stats painted a clear picture of Freiburg’s woes: 73% possession, 19 total shots (6 on target) and an xG of 1.11. Union, with just 27% possession, 9 shots (4 on target) and an xG of 0.54, converted their only genuine chance. Matheo Raab’s six saves were instrumental.
This hard-fought 0-1 victory provided Union Berlin with three vital points in their fight for Bundesliga survival, taking them to 31 points. It was a frustrating result for SC Freiburg, unable to capitalize on their dominance and dropping crucial points in their quest for European football.
