Bayern Munich Drops Points in Draw with Union Berlin
In the 26th round of the Bundesliga, league leaders Bayern Munich were held to a 1-1 draw by Union Berlin, a team far from the upper echelons of the table. The result marks another missed opportunity for Bayern to extend their lead at the top.
Union Berlin, who have never beaten Bayern in their history, will be pleased with the hard-fought point. The match seemed to be heading in Bayern's favor when Leroy Sané broke the deadlock in the 75th minute, finishing off a well-placed cross from Josip Stanišić.
However, Union equalized just eight minutes later, capitalizing on a mistake by Bayern's goalkeeper Daniel Peretz. Peretz misjudged a cross, deflecting the ball straight to Kevin Behrens, who made no mistake from close range.
