Overview

  • Bayern’s record 16-game winning start in all competitions was halted by a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin.
  • Dutch defender Danilho Doekhi scored in the 27th minute from a low corner and again on 83 minutes before Harry Kane equalized in stoppage time.
  • Ilyas Ansah thought he had scored for Union earlier, but VAR ruled the effort offside during a strong home spell.
  • Luis Díaz had made it 1-1 in the first half with a surging run and finish from a tight angle past Frederik Rönnow.
  • Bayern remain top of the Bundesliga, five points ahead of second-placed RB Leipzig, who have taken 22 of 24 points since a 6-0 opening loss, with CEO Johann Plenge praising 18-year-old signing Yan Diomande’s rapid impact.
