Last Match

Urs Fischer's team started pre-season fixtures with a 3-1 win over Viktoria Berlin on Wednesday. A first-half double from Sven Michel gave Union a dominant lead going into the break. Andreas Voglsammer hit one after half-time before Viktoria pulled one back through Umur Durmurshan. It was a good exercise for the Bundesliga side with three U19s appearing – Yannic Stein, Malick Sanogo and Aljosha Kemlein. New signings Danilo Doekhi, Milos Pantovic, Tim Skarke and Paul Seguin were given appearance time at the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark.
