SHOCK LOSS FOR STUTTGART: Union Berlin celebrates viewing sensation!
VfB Stuttgart lost 1:2 against Union Berlin at the start of the Bundesliga, despite dominant play and shots on goal.
SHOCK LOSS FOR STUTTGART: Union Berlin celebrates viewing sensation!
A catastrophic start to the season for VfB Stuttgart! On August 24, 2025, the Swabians experienced a shock defeat against Union Berlin that could go down in the history books! Stuttgart lost 2-1, even though they dominated the game with 70% possession and had three times more shots on goal than their opponents - a frightening disparity!
After the game, coach Sebastian Hoeneß spoke of a “bitter” and “used” afternoon. The atmosphere was hilarious when Nick Woltemade scored in the dramatic stoppage-time finale - or rather, scored it and then had it ruled out for offside! Woltemade was disappointed when he sank to the ground after the game and faced reality: Stuttgart had deprived themselves of a promising point.
Sensation in Berlin: Ilyas Ansah thrilled!
While Stuttgart faltered on the offensive, Ilyas Ansah became the shining hero of Union Berlin! He scored two sensational goals and wrote a fairytale debut! The first goal from an incredible 20 meters away and the second after a lightning-fast counterattack - the crowd went wild! Ansah, only 20 years old and only recently signed from Paderborn for four million euros, celebrated his big breakthrough in Berlin. After his substitution, he received a standing ovation – a moment of honor!
It is also shocking that VfB is struggling with an injury this season: defender Luca Jaquez had to leave the field with a fractured nose. Another disappointment when Stuttgart failed twice during the game! Captain Atakan Karazor said after the game that it was painful to suffer such a defeat.
The shocking statistic: superior and yet lost!
Despite the high-quality possession of the ball and a large number of shots, the question is: How could Stuttgart lose the game? In the end, Union Berlin achieved a surprising success and sent Stuttgart home with their heads hanging. Shocking moment number two was Tiago Tomas's goal in the 86th minute, which came far too late to save anything. A bitter afternoon for all VfB supporters!
