Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of VfL Wolfsburg 3-1 FC Union Berlin in the Bundesliga on Saturday, 06 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
VfL Wolfsburg secured a 3-1 victory over FC Union Berlin. The hosts took an early lead when Patrick Wimmer scored in the 10th minute, assisted by Mohamed Amoura, and extended it to 2-0 as Mohamed Amoura found the net in the 30th minute with help from Saël Kumbedi. Wolfsburg, coming off a run of three consecutive losses before a recent draw, showed improved attacking intent in the first half despite Union Berlin’s possession edge.
In the second half, Lovro Majer added a third for Wolfsburg in the 59th minute, assisted by Christian Eriksen, but Stanley Nsoki pulled one back for Union Berlin in the 68th minute. Union Berlin, who had drawn two of their last three before back-to-back losses, pushed hard late on but missed a penalty in the 90+1st minute when Leopold Querfeld failed to convert. Substitutions, including Mattias Svanberg for Patrick Wimmer in the 65th minute, helped Wolfsburg manage the game to secure the points.
Union Berlin dominated possession with 57% compared to Wolfsburg’s 43%, which translated into 11 corners for the visitors against none for the hosts, highlighting their control in attacking areas. However, Wolfsburg proved more clinical, recording three assists to Union’s zero and capitalising on counter-attacks despite fewer successful dribbles at 22 versus Union’s 50. Discipline saw Wolfsburg pick up four yellow cards while Union had just one, with no red cards issued, and both sides used all five substitutions effectively to influence the flow.
The visitors took one penalty but missed it, while Wolfsburg had none, and there were no injury-time goals. Key changes included Wolfsburg’s Jan Bürger replacing Saël Kumbedi at half-time and Union’s double switch around the 70th minute with Tom Rothe for Derrick Köhn and Alex Král for Christopher Trimmel, which aimed to boost their comeback but ultimately fell short.
Wolfsburg struck first in the 10th minute as Patrick Wimmer scored with an assist from Mohamed Amoura, setting an early tone, and Mohamed Amoura doubled the lead in the 30th minute assisted by Saël Kumbedi. The hosts faced a setback with a yellow card to Saël Kumbedi in the 22nd minute, leading to his substitution at half-time for Jan Bürger, while Christian Eriksen picked up a booking in first-half stoppage time. Lovro Majer extended the advantage to 3-0 in the 59th minute with Christian Eriksen’s assist, but a VAR check on Mohamed Amoura in the 64th minute briefly halted play without changing the score.
Union Berlin responded with Stanley Nsoki’s goal in the 68th minute, and their substitutions like Oliver Burke for Woo-yeong Jeong in the 56th minute added energy. A missed penalty by Leopold Querfeld in the 90+1st minute, following a pass from Kamil Grabara, proved costly, while late VAR reviews on Danilho Doekhi and Andrej Ilic in the 83rd and 89th minutes respectively did not alter the outcome. Wolfsburg’s late changes, such as Dzenan Pejcinovic for Mohamed Amoura in the 73rd minute, helped them hold firm despite yellow cards to Lovro Majer and Konstantinos Koulierakis.
VfL Wolfsburg lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Mohamed Amoura leading the attack and proving pivotal in both scoring and assisting, while Lovro Majer and Patrick Wimmer provided creative support in midfield roles. Partnerships like Saël Kumbedi’s link-up with Mohamed Amoura stood out early on, though Kumbedi’s yellow card led to his replacement by Jan Bürger at half-time. Christian Eriksen’s assists highlighted his influence before Denis Vavro came on for him late in the game.
FC Union Berlin deployed a 5-3-2 shape, focusing on defensive solidity with Stanley Nsoki contributing a goal from the back, while András Schäfer and Woo-yeong Jeong started in midfield before being replaced by Andrej Ilic and Oliver Burke respectively around the hour mark. Key roles included Christopher Trimmel’s leadership on the flank until Alex Král took over in the 70th minute, and Derrick Köhn’s involvement before Tom Rothe substituted in. Livan Burcu came on for goalscorer Stanley Nsoki late to push for an equaliser.
Kamil Grabara earned Bwin’s Man of the Match award for his solid performance in goal for FC Union Berlin, making five crucial saves and one clearance to keep his side in the contest despite conceding three times. His one punch helped deal with aerial threats, and he even assisted in the build-up to a late missed penalty. Grabara’s efforts stood out in a match where Union dominated possession but struggled to convert chances.
