VfL Wolfsburg celebrates: first win after 14 home games against Union Berlin

A good day for VfL Wolfsburg! On December 6, 2025, the team celebrated an impressive 3-1 win against 1. FC Union Berlin under interim coach Daniel Bauer. This success was the first home win after a whopping 14 unsuccessful games, which significantly strengthened the morale of the team. The last win in the home stadium dates back to January, when they defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-1.

The Wolfsburg team showed determination from the start and managed to dominate the game. Patrick Wimmer scored the first goal in the 10th minute, after a fine combination with Mohamed Amoura, who later scored himself in the 30th minute - a powerful shot that fizzed into the top corner. Lovro Majer went one better with the third goal in the 59th minute and underlined the efficiency of Wolfsburg's offensive.

Union Berlin demanded

Union Berlin struggled without their suspended captain Rani Khedira. Despite six shots on goal by halftime, the Berliners failed to score a goal. It was an even fight, but the numbers spoke for themselves: Wolfsburg scored two goals with just two shots in the first half, while the Union had to be content with another shot hitting the post. Shortly after the third goal to give Wolfsburg the lead, Stanley Nsoki scored the next goal for Union in the 68th minute.

The tension remained until the end when Union Berlin was awarded a penalty in stoppage time. It couldn't have been easier in this intense game, but goalkeeper Kamil Grabara had something against it and saved Leopold Querfeld's penalty (90th + 1 minute). For Wolfsburg it was a strong defensive performance that paid off and secured their first home win after a long dry spell.

Efficiency on both sides

The statistics of the game show an interesting development. Despite a lower hit rate of 0.61 for Wolfsburg compared to 2.5 for Union, the hosts showed a disciplined and goal-oriented style of play. In fact, Wimmer's goal was the lowest probability goal of the game with a probability of just 8.63%. Mohamed Amoura not only scored a goal but also had an assist and a top speed of 33.09 km/h, while the fastest player in the game, Union's Oliver Burke, clocked 34.01 km/h.

The Bundesliga will be watching closely to see how Wolfsburg develops as the team searches for a new sporting director. The managing director of Hanover remains unimpressed by the events in Wolfsburg, which could affect the strategic realignment. There's still a lot of work to be done here soon.

There is reason to be happy for Wolves fans - the return to form could finally be successful. Further information and details about the current Bundesliga season can be found on the website of NDR, Bundesliga and ESPN.
