"In Berlin 'Union' received a backlash from 'Augsburg' eleven" © JumpStory

Due to the fight for positions in the "Champions" league, Berlin's "Union" unexpectedly suffered a 2-0 defeat to one of the outsiders of the championship, "Augsburg." The eager hosts showed no respect for the Berlin team's favorite label. Augsburg's players created enough dangerous opportunities in the first half, and they managed to take advantage of one of them in the 16th minute. Union goalkeeper Rani Khedira, who fell into a pressing trap, lost the ball and Augsburg forward Michael Gregoritsh cold-bloodedly defeated goalkeeper Andreas Luthe. In the second half, the situation did not change. The hosts doubled their lead, which they did in an impressive style. In the 59th minute, Andre Hahn sent the ball into the upper corner with a long shot, leaving no chance for the opponent's goalkeeper. This victory allows the Augsburg team to temporarily escape the relegation zone. Meanwhile, it is a painful blow to the Berlin team, as several teams below them are gaining ground. Union are only 4 points ahead of 10th-placed Mainz, so the battle for the top positions remains intense.
