Union Berlin Beat Winless Gladbach 3-1 as Doekhi Brace Lifts Hosts Into European Spot

Overview

• Danilho Doekhi scored in the 3rd and 26th minutes, first with a header from a corner and then by finishing a rebound.
• Haris Tabakovic reduced the deficit in the 33rd minute before Rani Khedira’s 81st-minute volley sealed the result.
• The victory moved Union Berlin provisionally to seventh in the Bundesliga ahead of the weekend fixtures.
• Borussia Mönchengladbach are the league’s only winless team after seven matches and remain bottom under interim coach Eugen Polanski following Gerardo Seoane’s September dismissal.
• Sporting director Roland Virkus departed earlier in the week, reported successor Rouven Schröder watched from the stands, and Union’s emphasis on set pieces again proved decisive.
