1:2 at Union Berlin: Everyday life in the Bundesliga is catching up with Dortmund again

In the Champions League, BVB overruns their opponents, but 1. FC Union is too strong at the Alte Försterei. Coach Nuri Sahin has to watch as his team wakes up too late at 1:2. Sports director Sebastian Kehl chooses clear words.

Dirk Zingler, President of 1. FC Union, maintains certain traditions. At the weekend, for example, he is happy that the ARD Tagesschau is the only TV medium that offers the Bundesliga table in two parts, as he says. Hardly anything, Zingler said a few days ago, pleases him more than when Union appears in the first half of the table. Because that means that Union is among the top nine teams in the ranking. Zingler, that much is certain, will end the weekend in a state of inner peace. On Saturday, 1. FC Union defeated the ball game club Borussia from Dortmund, which recently performed so furiously in the Champions League (7-1 against Celtic Glasgow), 2-1. And even moved past BVB in the table.
