Union Berlin Defeats Holstein Kiel 2-0

Union Berlin achieved a 2-0 victory over Holstein Kiel in a Bundesliga match, showcasing the talents of young players, particularly Tom Rothe and Aljoscha Kemlein. Kemlein, making history as the first academy graduate to score for Union in the Bundesliga, netted his inaugural goal with a header in the 18th minute after a precise cross from Rothe. Rothe later sealed the win with a header from a corner in the 85th minute. This win marks back-to-back victories for Union Berlin, lifting them to fifth place in the league, just three points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
