Derby wins over Hertha: Union and their big western neighbour Hertha BSC only met in the Bundesliga for the first time in November 2019, when Union won 1–0 thanks to a late goal. In the second Bundesliga there had been only four East-West derbies between 2010 and 2013, with each side winning once. On 5 February 2011, Union triumphed 2–1 at the Olympiastadion in front of 74,244 spectators.
John Jairo Mosquera and Torsten “Tusche” Mattuschka became derby heroes with their goals.
