Pefok scores on Bundesliga debut as Union beats Hertha 3-1
United States forward Jordan Pefok has scored on his Bundesliga debut to help Union Berlin defeat Hertha Berlin 3-1 in their first league game of the seasonAUGUST 6, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Assists in opener Trimmel assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), 12 crosses (one accurate), and five corners in Saturday's 3-1 win over Hertha BSC Berlin.
Impact Trimmel has already passed his assist total from a weird 2021/22 season. After finishing with eight and nine assists in 2019 and 2020 respectively he failed to get on the board in 2021/22, but looks to have corrected that already. Trimmel is a consistent producer who creates chances in bunches though entering his age-35 season it's unclear what his role will look like with Union Berlin.

Impact Trimmel didn't exactly stuff the stat sheet like he's used to do but still was very active on both ends. Despite the lack of goals or assists and being benched at times, the midfielder was one of Union's best two-way fantasy assets this season and there's no reason to doubt he'll continue to be a great source of numbers during next campaign.

Fills stat sheet Trimmel shot four times off target and sent in four crosses during Saturday's 2-1 win over Leipzig.
Impact Trimmel may only have a single goal on the season, an awful return after a goal and nine assist in the 2020/21 campaign, but he has been filling the stat sheet everywhere else. The main issue for Trimmel has been his seeming lack of creativity. In 2020/21 Trimmel produced 60 chances created, in 2021/22, he's only managed 25 in 22 appearances. Trimmel will hope to fill the stat sheet against minnows Furth next time out.
