Awoniyi scores classy header in Union Berlin’s stalemate at VFB Stuttgart

Taiwo Awoniyi found the net as Union Berlin played a 2-2 draw with VFB Stuttgart in Tuesday’s Bundesliga outing.

The Iron Ones seem to be heading for a famous away win at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, but the hosts clawed back in the closing stages of the game to end the encounter on a no winner, no vanquished note.

Still fresh from Saturday’s 1-1 draw versus reigning European champions Bayern Munich, Urs Fischer’s got off to a flying start against red-hot Stuttgart by taking a fourth minute lead.

Following a harsh tackle from Konstantinos Mavropanos on a Union Berlin player that attracted a caution from referee Sascha Stegemann, the visitors were awarded a free-kick which was taken by Christopher Trimmel and headed home by Marvin Friedrich.
