Match Report
Wolfsburg won 2-1 at the Alte Försterei on Saturday, spoiling the historic Bundesliga debut of Union Berlin's interim boss Marie-Louise Eta — the first woman to manage a men's side in one of Europe's top-five leagues.
Patrick Wimmer fired in a clinical long-range opener in the 11th minute, and Dzenan Pejcinovic doubled the lead just after the break (46') with a similarly composed strike. Union dominated the game statistically — 24 shots to five — but their profligacy proved costly. Oliver Burke pulled one back in the 86th minute, but the comeback never materialised.
The win ended a 12-match winless run for Wolfsburg, lifting them within two points of relegation safety. For Union Berlin, it was a sobering start to the Eta era — a club still finding its footing after the dismissal of coach Steffen Baumgart earlier this month.
