Sporting director Hasan “Brazzo” Salihamidžić praised the coach for getting everything right on the night, citing a massive difference between the first and second halves. “Julian did a really good job”, Brazzo said (Sport1’s Kerry Hau via @iMiaSanMia). “We played a bit differently than we did before.

Press conference ahead of the Supercup 2023 | Marco Rose on FC Bayern, his squad and the progress made during pre-season

VfB meet fourth-tier side TSG Balingen in the first round of the DFB Cup on Saturday (13:00 CEST). Here are the pre-match facts.

1. FC Union Berlin followed up on the Maccabi Haifa with an impressive second-half display at Mainz last time out in the Bundesliga. Urs Fischer’s side ended the run of league fixtures before the international break with a 2-1 win at the Carnival Club. Union’s loanee at Mainz, Marcus Ingvartsen, scored after half an hour as the Köpenick club struggled to get to grips with Bo Svensson’s side. The three points were decided on four second half minutes with Taiwo Awoniyi bagging a brace to send Union back to the capital with the points. On 69 minutes, Max Kruse’s telling pass found the Nigerian who held off his marker and fired into the net. Kevin Behrens linked with his strike partner on 73 minutes from a similar situation as the Nigerian, who would receive a call-up to the national team a day later, fired into the net.

It capped off a disastrous seven days for Tottenham, who exited the FA Cup last week away to Championship outfit Sheffield United and lost at Wolves on Saturday to let slip their grip on fourth place in the Premier League.

Under the motto “Back in Black & Yellow”, Borussia Dortmund will return to the USA in July and August after a four-year break due to the pandemic.
