Querfeld's penalty drama: Union Berlin fails at Bayern Munich!
On December 3, 2025, Union Berlin met FC Bayern Munich in the DFB Cup. In an exciting game, Union almost managed to equalize despite Bayern's 3-1 half-time lead, which would have given the game a dramatic twist.
Leopold Querfeld, Union Berlin's talented player, turned out to be the surprise of the evening. Instead of his good shot, it was his skill from the spot that took the spotlight. He scored two penalties, and what is particularly noteworthy is that they were his first goals from the spot in his career. Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was unable to parry these shots, which led to uncertainty in Munich's defense.
