Union Berlin clearly lost to Borussia Dortmund 3-0 in Dortmund!

An exciting but unfortunate game unfolded for 1. FC Union Berlin in Signal-Iduna-Park today. The team had to admit defeat to Borussia Dortmund 0-3, which meant the Berliners' seventh defeat in their seventh Bundesliga game in Dortmund. Particularly bitter: Union came with fresh self-confidence after a 2-1 win over Stuttgart, but didn't have the necessary luck on their side. Loud rbb24 This was also the first defeat of the season for Dortmund, who had previously suffered a defeat in the opening round.

Union started strongly, showed good possession of the ball in the first few minutes and tried to take control of the game. Andrej Ilic had two top-class chances, but they went unused. After the first 30 minutes, Dortmund finally took control, but were rarely able to pose a threat for a long time. It was only shortly before halftime that Serhou Guirassy scored the first goal in the 44th minute when he reacted very quickly to a cross ball from Yan Couto.

Dortmund controls the game

After the break, Union initially showed a courageous performance and tried to make up for the deficit. However, there were no further chances to score while Dortmund remained in control. Guirassy, ​​who was named player of the match that day, added another goal in the 58th minute, helped by a back pass assist from Maximilian Beier. Felix Nmecha made it 3-0 in the 81st minute after converting a corner.

In total, Berlin had 12 shots on goal, while Dortmund had 11. The performance of Andrej Ilic was particularly noticeable, as he fired 5 shots on goal and achieved an xGoals value of 0.84. Loud bundesliga.com This is the continuation of a negative tradition for Union: in the last seven meetings in Dortmund they were unable to win and conceded 3-0 on aggregate. Captain Christopher Trimmel expressed his pain after the game: “A 3-0 loss hurts, we were good in phases, but too impatient.” Felix Nmecha replied: “We fought well and controlled the game.”

Standings and outlook

After this defeat, Union Berlin is currently in tenth place in the Bundesliga table, with one win and one defeat in the new season. With this important victory, Dortmund was able to collect the first three points of the current season and gain some breathing room. What is particularly positive is that Aarón Anselmino celebrated his debut for Dortmund. The record against Union remains flawless for Dortmund: all six previous home games against Köpenick ended victoriously. The upcoming meeting between the two teams will be eagerly awaited, with Union hoping to find their form and pick up points in the next game.

The question remains for the fans: Can Union turn things around and score points again in the next games? The league is tough, but hope dies last!
