"However, the game burst into life in the 57th minute, courtesy of a tidy finish from Burke. After being played into the box by Jeong Woo-yeong, Burke cut inside past Castello Lukeba and curled his effort into the top-left corner to give Union the lead. Leipzig head coach Ole Werner responded by immediately subbing on Gomis, and the decision paid dividends on the hour mark."
"But it was Ansah who had the last laugh in the 67th minute. Lazy defending from Leipzig allowed Christopher Trimmel to roam down the right wing and pick out Ansah with a pinpoint cross, with the forward guiding his header past Peter Gulacsi. Leipzig pushed for another equaliser, but that suited Union as they threatened on the counter. Andras Schafer almost scored on the break before Starke made sure of the win in the third minute of stoppage time."
Union Berlin defeated RB Leipzig 3-1 at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei, ending a seven-minute scoring burst in the second half and sealing victory with a stoppage-time goal. The first half was goalless despite chances from Yan Diomande, Christoph Baumgartner and David Raum, while Diogo Leite and Janik Haberer missed opportunities. Oliver Burke opened the scoring with a curled finish, Tidiam Gomis equalised after coming on, and Ilyas Ansah restored Union's lead with a header. Tim Starke added a late clincher. Union produced 1.45 expected goals from 12 shots versus Leipzig's 0.59 from nine, with Leopold Querfeld notable defensively.
