A surprising early leader in the top goalscorer ranking, Behrens takes the lead after netting a hat-trick in Union’s convincing 4-1 victory against Mainz. The 32-year-old player not only scored the earliest goal in Union Berlin’s Bundesliga history but also became the second hat-trick scorer in the club’s top-flight history. Notably, he achieved a unique feat by becoming the first individual since Karlsruhe’s Markus Schroth in 1997 to score three headers in a single Bundesliga match. Behrens benefited from two penalty saves by Ronnow against Ludovic Ajorque at the opposite end of the field.
