Union Berlin has gone two games in a row without scoring. Not enough for a team at the top of the table. Trainer Urs Fischer also sees it this way and especially demands a response to the bankruptcy in the top match against Bayern (0: 3). “I think we lost face a bit in Munich, especially when it came to being active, stressing and putting pressure on the opponent,” Fischer said before the Cologne game. The bottom line is that his team was too passive. “If we don’t get our face on the field, we will have problems against everyone,” the coach is clear.
His team is also having a hard time against Cologne, which has also been waiting for a goal for two games. The game is heavy, there are not many offensive actions. And if so, then the most dangerous are among the inhabitants of Cologne. In the end, however, both teams continued their run and again remain goalless.
A hat-trick with consequences for Fischer’s Union. Although Freiburg does not get further than a zero against Gladbach and is not on a par with the Berliners in terms of points. Bayern fulfills the obligation in the evening.
Bayern in the lead again
Munich initially struggled against Stuttgart. In the 37th minute they almost fell behind. Keeper Yann Sommer has already been beaten when Matthijs de Ligt comes in for him and clears the line.
Barely two minutes later, De Ligt proves that he is not only good in the back, but also in the front. He pulls from the edge of the penalty area and puts Bayern ahead. At the latest when Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting made it 2-0 after more than an hour, it was over. Stuttgart’s goal came too late to avoid defeat.
So Bayern triumphed 2:1 – and pushed Borussia Dortmund back from the top. The two teams are tied on points, but FCB has the better goal difference. And Union Berlin is now five points behind the duo.
Quartet at the end of the table
On the other side of the table, the situation comes to a head. The reason? Bochum keeper Riemann, who initiated his team’s defeat against Schalke (until the 72nd minute with Frey) with an inglorious action. Shortly before the break, he does not catch the ball properly when defending with a fist. The Royal Blues, in which Cédric Brunner continues to play, follows, eventually the keeper maneuvers the ball over his own line with his fist. A bitter own goal. Schalke then let nothing burn, put the lid on it shortly before the end with the 2-0.
The two teams now have the same number of points and switch places. Schalke is no longer at the bottom. And because Hoffenheim lost to Mainz for the sixth time in a row (Widmer comes in the 73rd minute), there is now a quartet with 19 points at the bottom of the ranking, one point ahead of Hertha BSC.
