Union Berlin Edge Eintracht 4-3 as Baumgart Sent Off After VAR Penalty

A late VAR decision sparked Baumgart’s outburst, prompting an expected one-match touchline ban with his assistant set to lead against HSV.

Overview

  • Union won 4-3 in Frankfurt, driven by Oliver Burke’s hat-trick after Ilyas Ansah’s early opener.
  • A VAR review in the 87th minute led referee Sven Jablonski to award Eintracht a penalty for Leopold Querfeld’s foul on Jonathan Burkardt, who converted for 3-4.
  • Steffen Baumgart was cautioned for dissent and then shown a straight red for kicking a paper ball onto the field near the 89th minute.
  • Broadcast images showed Baumgart briefly making a middle-finger gesture toward the pitch, which he denied in post-match interviews.
  • Baumgart said he accepted the dismissal and admitted kicking the paper ball; he is expected to miss at least the HSV match, with assistant Danilo Fernando Evangelista de Souza handling touchline duties.
