Bundesliga: here's the weekend record
A rare chapter in German football history was written on Saturday in Berlin. For the first time since the Bundesliga's inception in 1963, eight goals were scored in a single first half. A completely wild 4-4 between Union Berlin and Stuttgart.
The match started with a bang. After 22 minutes, four goals already. By halftime, the nets had shaken eight times. Unprecedented. In a buzzing Stadion An der Alten Försterei, statistics were overshadowed by efficiency. Stuttgart dominated: 74% possession, over 800 passes. But Union, driven by Ilić's clinical finishing and veteran Trimmel's precision on set pieces, struck true.
This spectacular draw ensures Berlin's mathematical survival. For Stuttgart, however, European ambitions are slipping away. A possible consolation remains: the German Cup. But beyond the result, this match already enters history.
