CONTEXT

VfL Wolfsburg pulled off a notable upset with a 2-1 victory over pre-match stronger side FC Union Berlin at home. Union controlled possession at 54% to Wolfsburg's 46%, yet struggled to break through decisively.

No red cards disrupted play, and the match flowed without major second-half tactical shifts. This result highlights Wolfsburg's efficiency in front of goal despite less ball control, while Union's dominance yielded only one score. The away triumph marks a significant structural deviation, underscoring the visitors' resilience and clinical edge in a tightly contested Bundesliga encounter.
