Union Berlin Secures Late 1‑0 Victory Over Freiburg in Bundesliga Thriller

The match on Bundesliga day 26 ended with a late 1-0 victory for Union Berlin over SC Freiburg. In stoppage time Woo‑yeong Jeong capped the win. He controlled the ball on the right side of the penalty area, slipped past defender Günther, and finished perfectly at the far post.

Both sides had long appeared defensively sound, and the game seemed headed for an extra‑time stalemate. In the first half Union had the upper hand initially, but Freiburg gradually asserted more control. With few clear chances, the goalkeepers stayed largely idle as many attacks were blocked early on. Union’s substitute goalkeeper Matheo Raab, on his debut, held his net clean.

The second half began similarly, but as the match progressed opportunities multiplied. Freiburg pressed for a break‑away goal, while Union defended astutely and created chances through fast counter‑attacks. Fresh legs came with the insertions of Woo‑yeong Jeong and Alex Kral, injecting energy and ultimately providing the decisive goal for the Berlin side. Raab, despite a hand injury in the final minutes, denied the opposition a level‑keeping equaliser.
