Despite good intentions, the Eiserne suffered from Swabian law. Author of a double last week against Wolfsburg, Guirassy once again showed the way to his partners (1-0, 19th) before being imitated by Fuhrich in the second half (2-0, 65th). Reduced in numerical inferiority following the exclusion of Schafer (69th), Union Berlin did not have sufficient weapons to compete with the Swabians and continued with a second consecutive defeat. With this result, Stuttgart temporarily pushes Dortmund 9 points off the podium. Opposite, Union Berlin is no longer able to do so and remains close to the red zone.
