**Wolfsburg beats Union Berlin in Bundesliga match**
In a thrilling Bundesliga encounter, Wolfsburg emerged victorious over Union Berlin with a 2-1 scoreline, securing a crucial three points in their quest for a top-half finish. The match, played at the Volkswagen Arena, saw both teams fight hard for dominance, but Wolfsburg ultimately edged out their fierce rivals thanks to two well-timed goals.
Wout Weghorst, the league's top scorer, was the hero for Wolfsburg, netting a brace in the 15th and 58th minutes. His first goal came from a clever header after a perfectly weighted cross from Kevin Schur, while his second was a clinical finish following a counter-attack. Schur, who played a pivotal role in both goals, continued to showcase his attacking prowess, creating multiple chances for his team.
Despite Union Berlin’s efforts, led by the dangerous Antonis Makris, they struggled to break down a solid Wolfsburg defense. The visitors had a goal disallowed in the 35th minute when the referee ruled out a handball by Wolfsburg’s Jerome Boateng, but they were ultimately unable to capitalize on their pressure.
The win moves Wolfsburg to 12th place in the table, with six points from their last two matches, while Union Berlin drop to 10th. Both teams will need to build on this performance as they aim for a better second half of the season.
**Valencia scores for improved rankings**
Valencia continued their recovery in La Liga with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Getafe, moving them further up the standings. The only goal of the match came from a well-timed header by Goncalo Goni in the 55th minute, who connected perfectly with a cross from Ruben Semedo. This goal proved decisive as Valencia held on for a much-needed three points.
The win takes Valencia to ninth place, level on points with Getafe, who dropped to 10th. With three wins in their last four games, Valencia’s fighting spirit under manager Gennaro Gattuso is beginning to show results. The team’s defensive solidity was key to their success, as they limited Getafe to just eight shots on target, with none finding the net.
Valencia’s recent form has reignited hopes for a better second half of the season, especially with crucial matches coming up against Real Madrid and Barcelona. Meanwhile, Getafe will need to regroup as they aim to return to winning ways.
Both matches highlighted the intensity and quality of Spanish and German football, with teams fighting hard to secure points in a competitive league season. Fans can look forward to more exciting fixtures as the season progresses.
