1. FC Union Berlin produced a dominant and ultimately comfortable Bundesliga victory over Borussia Monchengladbach at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei on 17 October 2025, winning 3-1 in a match that extended the visitor’s miserable start to the season and gave Union a welcome boost heading into the international break. Danilho Doekhi, the Dutch centre-back, was the unexpected hero of the match, scoring twice in the first half to put Union in complete control and put beyond any doubt the dominance that the home side would maintain throughout. Gladbach came into the game as the only one of the Bundesliga’s 20 clubs still to register a win after six matches, and the deficit simply grew wider at the Alte Forsterei.
Doekhi’s First-Half Double Sets the Tone
Union Berlin’s dominance was established almost immediately, with Doekhi’s first goal arriving within three minutes when his unstoppable header from a corner gave the home side an early advantage. The centre-back was not finished, adding a second goal when he reacted quickest to a rebound after a shot from Ilyas Ansah struck the post. The two-goal lead after just nine minutes effectively settled the contest, giving Union the platform to manage the rest of the match with composure and control.
Gladbach’s Haris Tabaković pulled one back with a curled shot into the far corner seven minutes after Doekhi’s second goal, giving the visitors brief hope and their long-suffering supporters a moment of celebration. Despite having 67 percent of possession throughout the match, however, Gladbach could not find the quality needed to threaten Union’s lead consistently. A third Union goal from Rani Khedira in the 81st minute sealed the victory and sent Gladbach to the bottom of the Bundesliga table, their worst start to a top-flight season in the club’s recent history.
