Overview
- VAR overturned efforts from Matthias Ginter and Andrej Ilic, so Union Berlin and SC Freiburg finished 0-0 at the Alte Försterei.
- On Ilic’s strike, Rani Khedira was deemed offside and to have actively impeded Lucas Höler, a decision referee Sören Storks delivered after a 4:25 review.
- Ginter’s 16th-minute header was disallowed for handball after video showed the ball striking his arm following a corner.
- Union coach Steffen Baumgart disputed the offside-interference ruling, and sporting director Horst Heldt voiced strong frustration on Sky.
- The result keeps both sides in mid-table, extends Freiburg’s winless run to five league matches, and prolongs Union’s six-game streak without a striker goal.
