Yo football fanatics!
Union Berlin and VfB Stuttgart have surpassed an extraordinary Bundesliga milestone!
The weekend in the Bundesliga was nothing short of phenomenal, with Union Berlin and VfB Stuttgart serving up some sensational action that'll go down in history. We're talking about a record-breaking game that I never thought I'd see in the grand scheme of things.
So let's dive into the details of this historic match and assess whether this record could ever be surpassed again.
What historical record did Union Berlin and VfB Stuttgart smash?
The final score of the Bundesliga duel between Union Berlin and VfB Stuttgart flashed 4-4, an impressive statistic in itself. But what truly made this game unforgettable was that all eight goals were netted in the first half of the game. This had never happened before in the entire history of the German Bundesliga. Both teams exhibited top-notch form and an insatiable hunger for goals during the initial 45 minutes. Despite the chance to break even more Bundesliga records in the second half, they settled for a 4-4 draw - still an incredibly impressive result.

The footballers responsible for writing history
I shan't bore you with a match report as you've likely caught the highlights, but it's worth mentioning the goalscorers from the 4-4 draw. These athletes played their part in this record and deserve due recognition.
From the Union side, Andrej Ilic popped in a brace. The other two goal scorers were Diogo Leite and Leopold Querfeld. On the VfB Stuttgart side, the ball found the back of the net four separate times courtesy of Deniz Undav, Enzo Millot, Jeff Chabot, and Chris Fuhrich.
Is a record-breaking feat like this here to stay?
Bagging eight goals in a football half is a remarkable accomplishment, and Union Berlin vs. VfB Stuttgart was one heck of a game, particularly during the first 45 minutes. The second half failed to maintain the same intensity, but both teams might have used up their energy in the early stages of the game.
Achieving eight goals within a single half is an incredible milestone that might not be beat anytime soon. I struggle to envision a Bundesliga game with nine goals in one half. This may well become a Bundesliga goal-scoring record for the ages.
Union Berlin's relegation survival and VfB Stuttgart's future plans
While the 4-4 draw represented a significant record, the match against Stuttgart held another importance for Union Berlin - league positioning. With 35 points now, the team from the capital has ensured their spot in the first league for the 2025/2026 season.
VfB Stuttgart also clinched their place in the first league, but the Iron Ones gifted themselves a special Easter present. The Swabians are likely to wrap up the season in the middle of the table, which might be a slight disappointment following last year's successful campaign. However, they still have the DFB-Pokal final in Berlin on 24.05.25 against Arminia Bielefeld to look forward to.
