This is partially because it was a relatively uneventful game and partially because of the tragic news that a 19-year-old fan of the club was killed by an unknown attacker in the hours following the game. Needless to say, Union Berlin fans around the world are thinking of his family and friends during this difficult time. There was good news before the start of the game, as Union Berlin announced that captain Christopher Trimmel has signed a two-year contract extension with the club.
