During the Bundesliga match on Sunday, Berlin's "Union" unexpectedly lost 2:1 to "Bochum" on the away field.
In the first half of the match, both teams had several opportunities to score. However, "Bochum" was slightly more focused and managed to score the first goal in the 43rd minute. After Philipp Forster's lifted corner, Philipp Hofmann defeated the opponents' goalkeeper with a header.
The missed goal did not awaken the leaders of the championship and they conceded another goal in the second half. In the 71st minute, Gerrit Holtmann scored after a lightning-fast counterattack.
Just a few moments later, the Berlin team had a golden opportunity to reduce the deficit. The referee awarded a penalty kick to the hosts, but Miloš Pantović, who took the shot, failed to beat the opponent's goalkeeper and the score remained 2-0.
In extra time, Miloš Pantović, who missed the penalty kick earlier, scored a goal with a powerful shot, but the visitors failed to equalize in these matches.
After this match, "Union" is still in the first position in the standings, but they are only one point ahead of "Bayern" below them. Meanwhile, this victory is crucial for "Bochum" as it separates them from the relegation zone by just one point.
