Union Berlin ends the series of defeats: Spectacular 2-1 victory in Frankfurt!

In a gripping duel in the Bundesliga, Union Berlin won a 2-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday afternoon and thus collected valuable points in the relegation battle. After an early goal by Michy Bathshuayi for Frankfurt in the 13th minute, which has demonstrated his form since the change of Galatasaray, Union came back into the game. Leopold Querfeld, who recently switched from Rapid to the "Iron", scored 1-1 in the 62nd minute with a header after a precise cross from Christopher Trimmel. This was cross-field's first goal in the Bundesliga, which emphasizes his performance in this key game, such as laola1.at reported.

The exciting moments did not only appear on the field. In the 78th minute, Woo-Yeong Jeong made a precise shot for the leadership of the Berliners, causing the drama to continue. Shortly afterwards, Frankfurt had the chance to equalize, but Bernd Hollerbach's goal in the 87th minute was revoked by the Var because of a handball by Schäfer. In injury time, more precisely in the fourth minute, there was a crucial moment: Frankfurt was awarded a penalty when a handball was found by Union defender Doekhi. Hugo Ekitiké started, but failed due to Union goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow, who guessed the right corner and secured the winning goal, like AP news reported.

With this victory, Union Berlin stops a series of defeats of three games and can now break away from the relegation zone, while Frankfurt slips to fourth place and misses the jump to third place. The game shows the tension and unpredictability of the current season, since Frankfurt is still looking for the form after three defeats in a row that it awarded a few weeks ago.
