Union Sink Second-Placed Leipzig to Climb in Bundesliga
Union Berlin ended a three-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory, moving up to eighth place in the Bundesliga standings.
- On Monday in Berlin, Union Berlin defeated Red Bull Leipzig 3-1 after a flurry of early second-half goals.
- Berlin had been seeking to halt a three-game losing streak, and the victory ended their run, lifting them four places into eighth place while Leipzig missed a chance to close an eight-point gap on Bayern Munich.
- Oliver Burke broke the deadlock with a 57th-minute strike, his first goal in nine games, then substitute Tidiam Gomis equalized after replacing Janik Haberer, while Christopher Trimmel crossed for Ilyas Ansah to head home and Tim Skarke sealed the win with a stoppage-time strike.
- For Leipzig the loss leaves them eight points behind Bayern and was a missed chance to close the gap; they could drop to third if Borussia Dortmund beats Freiburg on Sunday.
- Beyond this match, a long Friday streak remains intact while Union Berlin has not lost a Friday night Bundesliga match since 2019, extending the run to 11 games in Berlin.
