Becker and Knoche Score: The Key to Union Berlin's Relegation

In the Bundesliga, every game is crucial, but few have been as pivotal as the match between Union Berlin and TSG Hoffenheim on October 18, 2019. The result of that match would determine whether Union Berlin would be relegated from the top flight or stay safe.

The match was filled with tension and drama, as both teams fought tooth and nail to secure their survival. In the final moments of the game, Union Berlin were trailing by one goal with only minutes remaining. However, they refused to give up and pushed forward until the very end.

In the 95th minute, Union Berlin's striker, Sebastian Haller, received a cross from his teammate, Christian Fuchs. He took a touch before unleashing a powerful shot that found the back of the net. The goal gave Union Berlin a much-needed point and helped them remain in the Bundesliga.
