Marco Grüll brings Werder Bremen to victory against Union with a dream goal!

On October 25, 2025, SV Werder Bremen celebrated a brilliant 1-0 home win against 1. FC Union Berlin. The decisive goal came from Marco Grüll, who scored his second goal in a row. The striker, who struck in the 72nd minute, caused the enthusiasm in the Weserstadion to boil. His performance was special because he scored with his weaker left foot and scored the goal with the help of the crossbar. Grüll had previously scored an opening goal in the 2-2 draw against 1. FC Heidenheim and was plagued by bad luck in the first few games, for example when he hit the crossbar in Mönchengladbach.  Werder.de reports.

The game against Union Berlin was a hard-fought duel that ended goalless in the first half. Union had the better chances, particularly through Oliver Burke and Danilho Doekhi, but Werder had the decisive moment in the second half. Grüll was happy about the goal, but was initially unsure whether it would be recognized due to a possible offside position. Head coach Horst Steffen praised his player for his constant work and discipline, while captain Marco Friedl confirmed that Grüll could score a dream goal and praised his commitment to the team. Bremen now has a total of 11 points and has been unbeaten in three games. NDR reports.
