Union Berlin has claimed victory against Mainz 05 in their latest match, with two goals from Christian Becker and Michael Knoche sealing the win for the home side.
The game was played at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, and Union Berlin took control early on through a goal from Becker in the 17th minute. The forward's powerful shot found the back of the net, and the home fans were delighted to see their team take the lead.
Mainz 05 did not give up easily though, and they fought hard to try and equalize. However, it was Union Berlin who took the lead again just before half-time when Knoche scored his first goal for the club. The midfielder's header from a corner gave him all the credit as he celebrated his goal with joyous celebrations.
Despite being behind, Mainz 05 tried to fight back but it was too little, too late. The visitors could only manage one goal in the second half, and Union Berlin held on to secure their second win of the season.
For Union Berlin, this is a big boost as they look to build momentum going into the upcoming matches. They will now turn their attention to their next league match, which will be against Hannover 96 on Saturday. It will be interesting to see how the team performs in front of their own supporters, and if they can continue their winning streak.
