Baumgart's coaching debut: Union Berlin loses again!

Steffen Baumgart started his debut as a coach of the 1st FC Union Berlin with a defeat against 1. FC Heidenheim. The game ended 0: 2 for Heidenheim, whereby the result was 0: 1 at halftime. The Union Berlin team has been waiting for a win for ten competitive games.

In the course of the game, Tom Rothe collected a red card in the 38th minute after fouling Sirlord Conteh. Captain Christopher Trimmel described the course of the game as unhappy, and Horst Heldt, the sports manager of Union, said after the game: "It was bitter, we had the clearer opportunities." Baumgart asked his offensive players to score more goals and wished more peace in certain game situations.

game course and opportunities

Heidenheim ensured with his two goals, which Frans Krätzig achieved in the 17th minute and Adrian Beck in the 84th minute, that the team was able to end their negative series and collected the first three points since the end of September. Union Berlin had a good chance in the 8th minute, but Jordan's shot went past the post.

Leonardo Scienza had to be replaced in the first half. Union started strongly, but could not prevent the first goal of Heidenheim and although there were opportunities for equalization in the second section, the team ultimately collected the second goal.

In addition to the disappointing appearance on the square, Union Berlin had recently had to accept a defeat at the green table against VfL Bochum, which was rated 0-2. The association announced that it would make an appeal against this decision. In the coming week there will be two home games against FC Augsburg and FSV Mainz 05 for Union.
