Bayern messes up the game: Diaz saves Union Berlin at the last second!

There was an exciting duel in the Bundesliga at the weekend that kept the spectators on the football pitches in Cologne in suspense. FC Bayern Munich, the championship favorites, were unable to continue their impressive winning streak and were held to a 2-2 draw against Union Berlin. Even though the royal club struggled in the first half, the team around captain Manuel Neuer showed fighting spirit in the second half.

The first 30 minutes were anything but glorious for Bayern. During this time they didn't get a single shot on goal. Only after a botched opportunity from Josip Stanisic, who didn't pass cleanly to Luis Diaz, did the game gradually pick up speed. Union Berlin, on the other hand, showed their presence and took the lead through Danilho Doekhi in the 40th minute. The goal was initially reviewed for offside, but the goal was eventually disallowed.

An exciting final spurt

At half-time, Union Berlin was leading 1-0, which heated up the atmosphere in the stadium. After the game, coach Steffen Baumgart was satisfied with his players' performance, even if the draw was annoying as they dominated the game shortly before the equalizer. After the final whistle, Manuel Neuer acknowledged that such games can happen in football and don't always go according to plan.

However, Luis Diaz's great effort was shown in stoppage time. With a precise shot in the 93rd minute he equalized the score to 2-2. Harry Kane was actively involved in this goal and prepared the chance. An important point for Bayern, who hope to build on their previous performances in the coming games.
