Bayern’s Streak Ends in 2-2 at Union Berlin as Schalke Reclaim 2. Bundesliga Lead

Late incidents and VAR scrutiny framed Bayern’s setback and Schalke’s statement in the promotion race.

Overview

  • Union’s Danilho Doekhi scored twice and Harry Kane headed a 90+3 minute equaliser as Bayern’s perfect start halted at 16 wins.
  • Manuel Neuer admitted a mistake on Union’s opener, and an earlier Ilyas Ansah goal was ruled offside after a VAR review.
  • Vincent Kompany made minimal changes after Bayern’s midweek win in Paris, and the league leaders remain clear at the top despite the draw.
  • Schalke beat Elversberg 1-0 through Hasan Kurucay’s fourth-minute strike to move at least temporarily into first place in the 2. Bundesliga.
  • Schalke handed 17-year-old Mike Wallentowitz his first start and confirmed a spectator medical emergency in the South Stand had ended with well-wishes for recovery, while Gladbach’s 3-1 derby win over Köln marked a third straight league victory and lifted them out of the drop zone.
