Union Berlin beat promoted St Pauli 1-0 to secure their first Bundesliga victory of the season. Union drew 1-1 at Mainz in their league opener last Saturday but took all three points in their first home game of the season. Lucas Tousart's attempt was saved by goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj, but the ensuing corner fell to Hollerbach, who struck a powerful first-time shot from the edge of the box into the net. Union played without Robin Gosens, and managing director Horst Heldt stated that the midfielder would depart the club.

He did not reveal Gosen's plans, although media rumors indicate he will join Fiorentina in Italy's Serie A. St Pauli suffered their second consecutive defeat this weekend, falling 2-0 at home to Heidenheim in their first Bundesliga game since 2011. Champions Bayer Leverkusen face RB Leipzig on Saturday, and Bayern Munich host Freiburg on Sunday.
