ICYMI: Awoniyi scores seventh goal in a row as Union Berlin makes progress in German Cup

Nigeria international Taiwo Awoniyi scored the second goal in Union Berlin’s 3-1 comeback victory over Waldhof Mannheim in the German Cup second round on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old came off the bench in the 72nd minute – with the scores at 1-1 – to put his side ahead in extra-time.

Awoniyi has now scored seven goals in his last six appearances for Urs Fischer’s men and he is their leading scorer with 12 goals across all competitions this season.

The Nigerian and his teammates will turn their attention to their next Bundesliga fixture against leaders Bayern Munich on Saturday.

Union Berlin are fifth in the German Bundesliga with 16 points from nine games.
