Borussia Mönchengladbach secures its first-ever win against Union Berlin, a historic victory discussed by reporters Janik Sorgatz and Carsten Kellermann.

The episode begins with hosts Janik Sorgatz and Carsten Kellermann reflecting on Borussia Mönchengladbach's 2-1 away victory against Union Berlin, marking the first win at that venue and a second consecutive away win. They detail Lukas Ullrich's debut Bundesliga goal, scored after he gave an interview to RP, humorously noting the 'RP interview effect.' The hosts analyze the match's phases, highlighting Borussia's superior first half where they could have led by more than 2-0. A setback occurred when goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas injured his adductors, replaced by Jonas Omlin, who made a crucial save later. The discussion shifts to a controversial penalty awarded to Union Berlin, sparking a debate on VAR consistency and referee decisions. The hosts emphasize Borussia's newfound resilience, a term introduced under previous coach Daniel Farke but now embodied by the team, as they held on to the lead despite pressure. They praise players like Tim Kleindienst, who scores consistently and commits many fouls without many bookings, and Kevin Stöger, whose creative passing is growing in influence. The episode reviews Borussia's position in the Bundesliga table, noting they have as many points after 22 games as the entire previous season and are in contention for European qualification. The hosts calculate that achieving 52 points could secure a European spot, referencing historical data like the 1993-94 season. They preview the next home game against Augsburg, framing it as a must-win to build on recent successes. The episode concludes with a starting lineup prediction for the Augsburg match, focusing on goalkeeper decisions due to Nicolas's injury and the stability of the current squad.
