Vfb Stuttgart - 1. FC Union Berlin

The last meeting between VfB Stuttgart and Union Berlin at the MHPArena (with Stuttgart playing at home) took place on 18 January 2026 in the Bundesliga and ended in a 1–1 draw.

In front of their home crowd, VfB Stuttgart took control of the game from the opening whistle and looked to put Union Berlin under pressure through high pressing and dominant possession. Union initially defended in a compact shape, focusing on closing down space and creating danger through counterattacks.

The first half developed into a hard-fought contest, with Stuttgart being the more active side. Despite several promising attacking moves, the hosts were unable to break down Berlin’s defense decisively. Union remained disciplined at the back and occasionally pushed forward to relieve pressure, resulting in a goalless first half.

After the break, Stuttgart increased the intensity and were rewarded in the 59th minute. Chris Führich gave the home side a deserved 1–0 lead, capping off a strong spell of pressure from the hosts. Stuttgart continued to dominate proceedings afterwards but missed several opportunities to extend their advantage and put the game beyond Union’s reach.

Those missed chances ultimately proved costly. Union Berlin stayed in the match and capitalized on one of their few clear opportunities late in the game. Substitute Woo-yeong Jeong scored the equalizer in the 83rd minute, bringing the contest back level at 1–1.

In the closing stages, Stuttgart pushed for a winning goal while Union remained dangerous on the counterattack. Both teams had chances to score the decisive goal, but neither could find a breakthrough. As a result, the match ended in a draw, leaving VfB Stuttgart to settle for a single point despite an impressive overall performance, while Union Berlin secured a valuable away point from their visit to the MHPArena.
