March 15, (THEWILL) – Bayern Munich dropped points for the second consecutive Bundesliga match following a 1-1 draw with Union Berlin at Stadion An der Alten Försterei. This result comes one week after their surprising 3-2 defeat to Bochum, where they surrendered a two-goal advantage.
The match remained goalless throughout a quiet first half, with limited opportunities for both sides. Following the interval, Bayern narrowly avoided falling behind when Joshua Kimmich nearly deflected the ball into his own net. Union goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow later made an important save by denying Josip Juranovic.
Vincent Kompany’s team broke the deadlock with 15 minutes remaining when substitute Leroy Sane, who had recently entered the match, struck powerfully past Ronnow following a precise cutback from Josip Stanisic. The league leaders appeared on course for victory until Benedict Hollerbach intervened with a well-executed volley from Juranovic’s cross to level the score.
The result marks another disappointing outcome for Bayern, who had been looking to bounce back from their previous defeat. Kimmich, who finalised a contract extension earlier this week, was unable to help his team maintain their advantage despite his continued presence in midfield.
Union Berlin will consider this a valuable point earned against the Bundesliga leaders and a show of their competitive capability against one of German football’s most dominant forces. The home supporters responded enthusiastically to Hollerbach’s equaliser, which ensured their team gained a deserved share of the points
