Union Berlin finally snapped their six-game winless streak in style, cruising to a commanding 3-1 victory on the road against Mainz. The win wasn't just a relief for the team—it marked a historic milestone for interim coach Marie-Louise Eta, who secured her first win at the helm ahead of her final match in charge next weekend against Augsburg.

Captain Christopher Trimmel couldn't hide his excitement, praising the team's resilience and their interim leader. "I'm overjoyed that we won again. Also for Eta—she just deserved it. We played a very, very good game against Wolfsburg, and in Leipzig, not everything was bad. And we did get a point against Köln," he reflected on the team's progress under her guidance over the past month.

When the final whistle blew, Eta celebrated with clenched fists and pure emotion. But true to form, she quickly shifted the spotlight back to her players during the post-match press conference. "The boys fought their way back," she said with characteristic modesty, a theme she's maintained since taking over. "They rewarded themselves in the end. We knew Mainz are a stable team, but we were courageous and executed our game plan well—especially in the first half, where we had a lot of control."

As club president Dirk Zingler announced from day one, Eta will transition to lead the women's team starting next season. For now, she's savoring the moment. "As a coach, you're happy when you win, and you always want to do that. That's what happened today. That's important to me," said the youngest coach in the division, proving that leadership isn't about age—it's about heart.
