- Despite Gosens' absence, Union Berlin emerges victorious over St. Pauli
Without the presence of Robin Gosens, Union Berlin provided a challenging beginning to Bundesliga for the newly-promoted FC St. Pauli. The Berliners clinched a 1:0 victory through a strike from forward Benedict Hollerbach (34th minute), while St. Pauli failed to score, marking their second consecutive league game with a goalless draw. With an initial 0:2 defeat against Heidenheim, St. Pauli continued their pointless streak. Prior to the match, Union's coach Horst Heldt revealed that Gosens would be departing from the team.
The absence of Robin Gosens might require the Commission to adjust Union Berlin's tactics in upcoming matches. Following the adoption of implementing acts by the Commission, these rules could impact the transfer of Gosens to his new team.
