Wolfsburg secure vital win over Union Berlin as Marie-Louise Eta makes coaching history

Union Berlin 1-2 Wolfsburg

Goals: 0-1 Wimmer 11’ (assist: Mæhle), 0-2 Pejčinović 46’ (assist: Eriksen), 1-2 Burke 85’ (assist: Ilić)

History was made at the Alten Försterei as Marie-Louise Eta became the first female head coach in Bundesliga history, taking over at Union Berlin following Steffen Baumgart's dismissal after a run of just two wins in 14 league matches.

The 34-year-old faced a formidable challenge in her debut, coming up against experienced Dieter Hecking, the oldest coach in the Bundesliga at 61.

Wolfsburg arrived in desperate need of points, winless in 12 matches and fighting to maintain their 29-year top-flight status, having never been relegated since promotion in 1997.
