Overview
- VfL Wolfsburg won 2-0 in a non-competitive friendly at the Wolfsburger AOK-Stadion with goals from Alessio Besio and Aaron Zehnter.
- Wolfsburg created the clearer chances across the match and scored in the 28th and 83rd minutes in front of about 545 spectators.
- 1. FC Union Berlin played without five selection players — Andras Schäfer, Michel Aebischer, Woo-Yeong Jeong, Tom Rothe and Linus Güther — which limited their offensive options.
- Wolfsburg fielded an experienced XI that included goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther, captain Maximilian Arnold and forwards Fabian Reese and Robert Glatzel to stay match fit.
- Both teams return to league play on 21 November and will use the friendly to inform selection and preparation for Union’s match against RB Leipzig and Wolfsburg’s game with Holstein Kiel.
