The two clubs return to the field this weekend, for the German Championship. On Saturday, at 11:30 am (BrasĂlia time), Union Berlin faces Mainz 05, at the An der Alten Forsterei Stadium, and can assume the leadership of the competition, since it has 36 points, one less than Bayern Munchen. On Sunday, at 1:30 pm, Wolfsburg, in seventh place, will face Bayern at the Volkswagen Arena.
4 minutes into the first half of the game played on Tuesday, Gerhardt passed to Luca Waldschmidt, who was free inside the area to open the scoring for Wolfsburg.
