1. FC Union Berlin plays Bayern under duress

In The UEFA Champions League, FC Union Berlin played Bayern Munich and lost 1:5 in the first half. The team's effort in the second half was rote, and they still need to work on their offensive play. After 387 minutes, the first FCU-Tor was given out, and the squad lost four games to finish in 14th position.

 

 

Union Berlin has firmly established a class hierarchy in the Abstiegskampf. Die Köpenicker verloren 1:5 gegen Bayern München. The second half of the table displayed a routine performance, and 1. FC Union has to continue to improve its offensive shortcomings.
• The 1:5 loss against Bayern München was Union's third straight defeat.

Köpenickers fell four games before the end, landing in position 14. • The first FCU torch, after 387 minutes, reached the end of the game. Duelle now awaits the direct competition in the table runner: Bochum, Gladbach, and Köln

 

The surprise is still intact: On Saturday night, Bayern Munich failed to score any points against 1. FC Union Berlin. In opposition to this season's front-runner and record holder, the Köpenicker was defeated 1:5 (0:2). For the tenacious Münchner, the first half saw Leon Goretzka (29.) and Harry Kane (45.+1), followed by Thomas Müller (53.), Mathys Tel (62.), and Müller (66.) after the intermission. In the post-game phase, Yorbe Vertessen scored the lone goal for the FCU (90+).
The team led by coach Nenad Bjelica dropped to position 14 after suffering their third consecutive defeat. The distance to the relegation spot is three meters. If Mainz fails to win on Sunday at Freiburg, however, he may continue to disintegrate. In the last four games, Union in Gladbach and Köln must

Bjelica had the whole Kader at his disposal against Bayern München, and the Croatian made three substitutions in contrast to the 0:2 defeat in Augsburg. Thus, among other things, Robin Gosens returned to the Startelf after his sperm. Additionally, Lucas Tousart and Kevin Volland participated at the beginning. As a result, Mikkel Kaufmann, Alex Kral, and Rani Khedira slipped onto the replacement bank.

Bayern Team vs. First FC Union had almost little to say about the Champions League semifinal on Tuesday. Trainer Thomas Tuchel switched between six and eight positions. Jamal Musiala did not even go to Köpenick at first. And yet, there was a formation on the spot with the new self-starting players—whether they were Thomas Müller, Minjae Kim, or Alphonso Davies—for whom the term "B-Elf" was inappropriate.

Union first, stable in all aspects

However, the first torch had unity: Gosens ducked under the ball to find the Trimmel-Flanke, startling his fellow player (1.) as well as Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Then came the Germans, who did what was to be expected: they took control of the game. And the FCB reached its first half-chance: Harry Kane FCU Keeper Frederik Rönnow (5.) parierte am Distanzschuss, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting zipped aus Halblinker Position knapp am kurzen Eck vorbei (9.).


Larger danger moments, however, were initially absent from the Köpenicker Strafraum. Bayern lacked the attacking punch in the ballbesitz, even if the Union appeared to be quite stable. As a group in the defense or as an individual in the second fight. Ein Sinnbild wäre Benedict Hollerbach, dem Union-Stürmer, der einfach an sich abprallen ließ bei einem der - durchaus regelmäßigen - schnellen Berliner Eiltempo-Gegenstöße Bayern-Verteidiger Eric Dier. However, he did not come after the conclusion (18.).

The fact that the Germans went up by a score of 1:0 in the 29th minute was therefore unavoidable. Not at all; in fact, it was their very first top-ranking incident. Tel played in the middle of the field, and Müller made room for Goretzka, whose pass sent the "Kracher" mark from the lower corner of the stadium into the tunnel.

The Union then intensified their offensive. But what the Hausherren lacked was just what Bayern demonstrated in the 1:0 draw: composure. The Köpenicker team had won three games without conceding a point before their match against the record holder. Neuer in the Bayern Tor made sure that this continued to be the case: Oh, he compares Lucas Tousart's distance (33) with Gosen's powerful dive (42). While the 1:1 was being played, the Germans just before the break won the 2:0. During a free throw from a half-right position, Kane discovered a loch in the Berliner Mauer; Rönnow collapsed in surrender (45.+1). It was already the 33rd season match for the British, and therefore eight more than the Union had managed to win over this whole playing season.

After the break, things get bitter for the Köpenicker.

The second half's story is then quickly recounted from the perspective of the Köpenicker, and it is a painful one. He only played for Bayern. The hosts had now assumed the role of spectators and were watching as the Münchner followed. And yet it is a tort within a tort. Thomas Müller, who kicked the ball after Choupo-Moting's flank at the five-meter line, made an early break that led to a 3:0 lead under the coffee (53). Tel increased to Kane-Zuspiel five minutes later (61). And the attack intensified. Five minutes later, Müller was ahead 5:0 once more. This time, Goretzka stepped forward, and the 34-year-old married (66).

Bayern then showed its oppressive dominance. Fortunately for the Köpenicker, however, they did not exhibit the same consequences as they had in the first twenty minutes following the pause. The hosts themselves became frustrated in their attempts to pull off at least the first Tor after more than six hours. Up to the post-match period. That ended Yorbe's 1:5 run. At the very least, stop the FCU's 387-minute Torlos series. Nevertheless, there remained the irreversible realization that the FCU would have to fight to the very end to win the class, as seen by the loud cries of weary fans at the Old Försterei Stadium.

Reactions to the game

Nenad Bjelica, First FC Union Trainer: No Niederlage is unkind. Regardless of whether you lose 1:1 or 1:5, and regardless of the opponent, That's why we have to live and try to improve in the next game. (*) The first half was entirely within our control. The only difference we could see was that we had not taken advantage of our opportunities, and the opponent had already moved on. We have to keep working and be patient with our players."

Speziell die, said Christopher Trimmel (Kapitän 1. FC Union).

The first half wasn't too bad for us. The second half was already far too short. We must allow ourselves to be resentful of this. Still, that does happen in football. We have to get this right. All that matters is our course for the next several weeks.

Bayern München's Leon Goretzka: Wir wissen genau, wie unbequemlich das hier a der Alten Försterei sein kann. Consequently, we embarked on a fierce battle, handled it well, and by the end, we were already well defeated.
