Union Berlin claimed a 1-0 victory over Freiburg on matchday 26 of the Bundesliga, with the only goal coming in stoppage time. Woo‑yeong Jeong produced the decisive strike, holding the ball to the right of the penalty area, slipping past defender Günther, and calmly firing a long‑corner ball into the top corner. The match had largely been a defensive affair, and it seemed early on that a goalless draw would ensue.
In the first half Union had a stronger start, but Freiburg gradually seized control. Despite several chances for both sides, the goalkeepers spent most of the game idle, as many attacks were cleared early. Union’s back‑up keeper, Matheo Raab, made his debut at the back and kept a clean sheet, stepping in after the usual starter was substituted.
The second half began similarly quiet, but opportunities multiplied as the game progressed. Freiburg pushed for a winner, while Union relied on skilful defense and swift counter‑attacks. When substitutions were made-bringing in Woo‑yeong Jeong and Alex Kral-the fresh legs helped create pressure, culminating in Jeong’s late winner. Raab, even while battling a hand injury, managed to keep the scoreline unchanged in the final minutes.
