Forward Jordan Pefok missed an early penalty for Union after his shot hit the left post. Then, shortly before halftime, Hoffenheim's Ihlas Bebou, making his first appearance of the season after a knee injury, stunned the home team with a counterattack.

After the break, Union applied persistent pressure, and captain Christopher Trimmel set up defender Danilho Doekhi for two late headed goals that delighted the home crowd despite light snow.

Attacker Jamie Leweling sealed the victory in injury time to really get the party started.
