Union Berlin ends losing streak: spectacular 2-1 win in Frankfurt!

In a thrilling duel in the Bundesliga, Union Berlin won 2-1 against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday afternoon and thus collected valuable points in the relegation battle. After an early goal from Michy Batshuayi for Frankfurt in the 13th minute, showing his form since moving from Galatasaray, Union got back into the game. Leopold Querfeld, who had recently moved from Rapid to the “Iron”, scored the 1-1 in the 62nd minute with a header after a precise cross from Christopher Trimmel. This was Querfeld's first goal in the Bundesliga, highlighting his performance in this key game laola1.at reported.

However, the exciting moments didn't just happen on the pitch. In the 78th minute, Woo-yeong Jeong gave Berlin the lead with a precise shot, which increased the drama. Frankfurt had the chance to equalize shortly afterwards, but Bernd Hollerbach's goal in the 87th minute was disallowed by VAR due to a handball by Schäfer. In stoppage time, more precisely in the fourth minute, the decisive moment came: Frankfurt was awarded a penalty when a handball was detected by Union defender Doekhi. Hugo Ekitiké started, but was denied by Union goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow, who guessed the right corner and secured the winning goal AP News reported.

With this victory, Union Berlin stops a losing streak of three games and can now move out of 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, as Frankfurt continue to search for the form that distinguished them a few weeks ago after three defeats in a row.
