BERLIN : When RB Leipzig host Union Berlin in the Bundesliga on Saturday it is not just second place that is at stake but also both teams' unbeaten run since the start of the year.
BERLIN : Union Berlin outplayed city rivals Hertha to win 2-0 on Saturday and join leaders Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga with their third straight victory of the year as they continued their remarkable season.
RB Leipzig striker Yussuf Poulsen and Brentford's Christian Norgaard have been named in Denmark's squad for the World Cup as coach Kasper Hjulmand added the final five players to his line-up for the finals in Qatar.
Union Berlin's fairytale run at the top of the Bundesliga continued Sunday after a howler from Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel helped them to a stunning 2-0 win over Edin Terzic's side. Two first-half goals from Janik Haberer put Union into dreamland as they extended their five-week run at the top of the table and inflicted a fourth defeat of the season on Dortmund. The visitors got off to a nightmare start after Kobel handed Union the opener on a silver platter. As he stepped up to receive a routine backpass from Raphael Guerreiro, Kobel slipped on the grass in his own penalty area, allowing Haberer to tap the ball into the empty net.
Eintracht Frankfurt ended Bundesliga leaders Union Berlin's unbeaten start to the season with a 2-0 home win on Saturday courtesy of goals from Mario Goetze and Jesper Lindstrom that moved them into the top five. Forward Randal Kolo Muani skilfully beat Union defenders Diogo Leite and Timo Baumgartl to cut back the ball for Goetze, who sent it into the net in the 12th minute to put the hosts ahead.
Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann said Saturday his team lacked their usual energy after they were held to a draw for the second week in a row at Union Berlin and knocked off top spot in the Bundesliga. Union battled to a well-earned 1-1 draw at home to Bayern, allowing fellow high-fliers Freiburg to leapfrog their way into first after they beat Bayer Leverkusen in a five-goal thriller. "In the end it was a fair result. The energy which I've praised so often in the last few weeks wasn't really there today," said Nagelsmann, adding that his side would need to perk up in their Champions League opener against Inter next Wednesday.
