Union Berlin vs FC Koln

Union Berlin and FC Koln shared a 1-1 draw at the Alte Forsterei on Sunday. Union led from the opening minutes, and Koln found their equaliser in the 79th, so a team that lost 5-0 to the same opponent in the cup five days earlier took only a point back. Janik Haberer scored on 10 minutes, finishing from close range after Tim Skarke played him in. Derrick Kohn had set up Skarke from the byline. Just before the break Livan Burcu struck a shot from the left that Marvin Schwabe pushed onto the crossbar, and it stayed 1-0 at half-time. Malek El Mala came on in the 72nd minute, which put him on the pitch with his brother Said El Mala. Seven minutes later Said crossed, Alessio Castro-Montes flicked it on and Malek scored from short range. He was named man of the match. Said also fired over from about five metres in the 73rd. The point leaves Union 16th on 7 points after eight games, with a goal difference of -12. Koln sit 12th on 9 points and are still waiting for their first away win of the season.
