Union’s unique opportunity to get closer to the top was thrown into the trash!

A great opportunity to take advantage of yesterdays gels of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund wasted the Unionwith the Berliners staying at home 1-1 with Bochum for the 28th matchday of the Bundesliga.

The home team opened the scoring with a great shot from him Juranovic in the third minute of stoppage time in the first half, with the team of Staphylidis (was out of commission) and Lampropoulou to equalize in the 55th minute of the match with a penalty by Stroger.

Five minutes later, Union were down by ten due to Jaekel’s dismissal, meaning they couldn’t claim the three-pointer until the end. Somehow, it stayed on Third Place of the scoreboard with 52 points, at -7 and -5 from the leader Bayern and the second Dortmund respectively, while at the same time, it is at +1 from the following Leipzig.

On the other hand, Bochum reached them 27 points and escaped to +3 from the relegation zone, taking a small, but very important, rating breath in view of continuation.
