Outstanding performance
FC Union Berlin•DefenderUnion Berlin salvaged a dramatic late point against Eintracht Frankfurt in a match that exploded into life in the final stages. The game remained goalless for over 80 minutes despite numerous cards and heated exchanges, before substitute Mahmoud Dahoud's immediate impact set up Nathaniel Brown to break the deadlock with a precise finish into the top corner. However, Frankfurt's advantage lasted just four minutes as Oscar Højlund's second bookable offense handed Union a penalty, which Leopold Querfeld coolly converted. The draw keeps Union in a precarious position in 16th place, while Frankfurt will rue their inability to hold onto what looked like a crucial away victory in the closing stages.
