16. Haifa goalkeeper Cohen will have to follow up on the cross again
14. The approach was good once: Baker pulls from the left, then plays on Vogelsmer in the penalty area. He wants to use Haraguchi with the spade on the edge of the penalty area – unfortunately it didn’t work
13. The Union has a lot of authority, but there have been few successful strikes so far.

As expected, the roof of the Olympic Stadium is glowing red. Blue Careers is also covered. Not to be reminiscent of city rivals Hertha, who usually play their home games here.
Teams take to the field.
A simultaneous request to Max Krauss, he left unanswered.
On the line-up: “A change of goal was agreed with both goalkeepers.”
Urs Fischer in TV Now: “I hope we have control over the game and we take risks from time to time. So two fast outsiders.”
Surprise Union! Coach Fischer spins vigorously: without attacking star Max Krauss and regular goalkeeper Andreas Luthe, the Swiss player enters the game. In addition to the club’s debut goalkeeper Frederic Rono, strikers Kevin Behrens and Sheraldo Baker are also in the starting line-up. Kevin Mohwald is in midfield for his second appearance for the Irons.
Fischer reacts to a failure in the central defense by replacing the defense system of the injured Timo Baumgartl and the suspended Paul Jekyll. Captain Christopher Trimmel, Marvin Frederick, Robin Noche and Nico Giselman form a back four. Usually Fischer lets play with a series of three.
Star:
Federation: Rono – Trimmel, Friedrich, Noche, Giselmann – Khedira – Baker, Mohwald, Haraguchi, Vogelsmar – Behrens
Haifa: Cohen – Raz Mir, Planic, Gershon, Menachem – Rodriguez, Dahan, Ali Mohammed – Cheri, Atzili – Donoh
Referee: Nicholas Walsh (Scotland)
The Olympic Stadium, home of Hertha BSC, turned red again today. City rivals 1. FC Union will have to field in Charlottenburg for their international matches, as Alte Forsteri is not approved by UEFA for European Cup matches.
initial situation: Union Slavia lost the first group game in Prague with 1:3. Two decisive goals were scored by Berlin in the final stages of the game. For coach Urs Fischer, only a win in the home premiere in the group stage counts. “We want to get on the table not only with the name, but with the points,” the Swiss said before the game. Haifa initially played 0–0 against Rotterdam.
Iron 22,500 spectators await the Israeli champion at the Olympic Stadium.
Staff: Fischer has personnel problems in defense before the game. Central defender Timo Baumgartl is out with his injury, as is Paul Jakel, who has been suspended following his yellow-red card at 1:3 at Slavia Prague. Therefore, he could switch to the back four. In addition, striker Kevin Behrens, who scored as a clown in both Prague and most recently Dortmund, could join the starting line-up.
The conference league works as follows:
The 32 teams play in eight groups of four teams to advance to the knockout stage. After the first and second stages, the group winners directly qualify for the Round of 16. The runner-up plays against the third-placed group of the Europa League for a place in the Round of 16. The quarter-finals and semi-finals consist of the final, with the first winner to be determined on May 25, 2022. In the Albanian capital Tirana. Along with AS Roma and Tottenham, two top European clubs are also included.
By the way, every win in the group stage gives you 500,000 euros! Union qualified for the group stage in the playoff against Kuopio PS (4:0/0:0) from Finland in August.
