The capital team, under pressure after two consecutive defeats in the 2025/26 Bundesliga, showed resilience and efficiency to overcome one of the title contenders.

After a balanced first half, Union Berlin broke the deadlock in the 57th minute.

But the night truly belonged to Union Berlin, as in the 64th minute, captain Christopher Trimmel delivered a perfect cross and Ansah completed it into the goal, securing the Berliners' triumph in front of their fans.

In stoppage time, in a lethal counterattack, Sharke received the ball from Ilic in the area and struck powerfully to seal the favorable score for Union Berlin.
