Overview

• Union Berlin beat Eintracht Frankfurt 4:3, with Oliver Burke scoring a hat‑trick and Ilyas Ansah netting the opener, before Steffen Baumgart was sent off late.
• Baumgart accepted the red card and will be banned for the next match against his former club HSV, while the DFB may review TV footage of his middle‑finger gesture.
• Borussia Dortmund defeated VfL Wolfsburg 1:0 thanks to Karim Adeyemi capitalizing on a defensive error by Joakim Maehle.
• Fan frustration intensified at Fortuna Düsseldorf after a 0:3 home loss to Darmstadt, prompting coach Daniel Thioune’s apology and sharper public accountability demands from executive Klaus Allofs.
• Regional action was turbulent as OSC Rheinhausen drew 30:30 with HSG am Hallo Essen during a scoreboard breakdown, an ambulance removal for Niklas Rolf’s shoulder injury, and an early red card for Dennis Szczesny; elsewhere, late goals again proved decisive, including TSV Wetschen’s 95th‑minute defeat.
