The game started with a lively atmosphere, with Heidenheim pushing deep into their own half with energetic attacking football. After a quick combination over three stations, Oliver Burke passed to Derrick Köhn, who shot over the goal. The initial attacking power turned out to be a momentary lapse. On the other side, it was the Heidenheimers who brought a rapid combination to the goal: to the right, Marvin Pieringer was released, who set the perfect cross on the foot of Honsak. He let the goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow with a volley shot no chance - 0:1 from the Union's point of view after eight minutes. Union ran, but was chased away by the Heidenheimers. Offensively, nothing worked in the first half. Defensively, the team presented themselves unsorted, as Marnon Busch brought a long throw into the penalty area and Patrick Mainka stretched the ball with his head in front of the goal: Honsak sprinted quickly into the five-meter area and spied the ball into the goal for 2:0 (36). In the second half, Union Berlin struggled with the Heidenheim defense. It took about 70 minutes for the first significant opportunity: Andrej Ilic's powerful header was cleared by the goalkeeper Diant Ramaj. The following corner kick could not be cleared by the hosts - and Leopold Querfeld dusted himself into the corner for 1:2 (75). But the hope for the equalizer lasted only about three minutes, as the Unioners were too careless at the back: the substitute Budu Zivzivadze dribbled through the disorganized defense and scored from a sharp angle to the decisive 1:3 from the Union's point of view (79). Zivzivadze even scored a supposed 1:4 - but the goal was disallowed after a video review (90.+4).
