FC Union Berlin 2-2 FC Bayern München: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of FC Union Berlin 2-2 FC Bayern München in the Bundesliga on Saturday, 08 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

The 2-2 draw between FC Union Berlin and FC Bayern München was a testament to Union’s resilience at home, extending their unbeaten run to three matches. Despite Bayern’s dominance in recent fixtures, including two 3-0 victories, Union managed to hold their ground, showcasing a surprising level of competitiveness. Key moments in the match included Union’s goals in the 27th and 83rd minutes, which countered Bayern’s strikes in the 38th and 90th minutes. This result, while unexpected given Bayern’s form, highlights Union’s ability to challenge top teams on their day.

For Bayern, the draw marks a halt to their winning streak, as they had previously secured convincing victories against Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach. The late equaliser by Union in the 83rd minute forced Bayern to push for a winner, which they achieved in the 90th minute, only to be pegged back again. This match underscores Bayern’s vulnerability away from home, despite their overwhelming possession and successful dribbles. The result, while not a loss, may raise questions about Bayern’s consistency and their ability to close out games against determined opponents.

The statistics from the match reveal a stark contrast in possession, with Bayern holding 73% compared to Union’s 27%. Despite this, Union managed to secure more corners (6 vs. 5), suggesting a more direct approach to their attacks. Bayern’s superior dribbling success rate (71% vs. 33%) indicates their control of the ball and ability to navigate through Union’s defense. The higher number of yellow cards for Bayern (4 vs. 2) might reflect their frustration at not converting possession into a win, while the game’s flow was characterized by Bayern’s dominance but Union’s resilience.

The match’s pivotal moments were defined by the goals scored by both teams. Union Berlin took the lead in the 27th minute, showcasing their ability to capitalise on limited possession. Bayern responded with a goal in the 38th minute, demonstrating their offensive prowess. The late drama unfolded with Union’s equaliser in the 83rd minute, only for Bayern to score again in the 90th minute, securing a point. These key moments highlight the back-and-forth nature of the game and the determination of both teams to secure a result.

FC Union Berlin deployed a 3-5-2 formation, with Frederik Rönnow in goal and a back three of Danilho Doekhi, Leopold Querfeld, and Diogo Leite. The midfield was anchored by Rani Khedira, with Janik Haberer and András Schäfer providing width and support. Up front, Oliver Burke and Ilyas Ansah led the line, contributing to the team’s goals. This setup allowed Union to maintain a solid defensive structure while posing a threat on the counter, which was crucial in securing the draw against Bayern.

Bayern Munich lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Manuel Neuer in goal and a back four of Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, and Josip Stanisic. The midfield duo of Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka provided stability and creativity, while Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry, and Luis Díaz supported striker Harry Kane. Despite their dominance in possession and dribbling, Bayern’s inability to secure a win suggests that their attacking lineup, while potent, struggled to break down Union’s defense consistently.

Harry Kane was named Bwin’s Man of the Match for his crucial role in Bayern’s performance. Scoring the equaliser in the 90th minute, Kane demonstrated his clinical finishing and composure under pressure. His involvement in Bayern’s attacking play, coupled with his goal, made him a standout performer in a match where Bayern needed a late surge to salvage a point.
