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. Despite Bayern’s dominance in recent fixtures, including a 3-0 win over Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Union managed to hold their ground, extending their unbeaten run at home to three matches. The result was somewhat surprising given Bayern’s form, but Union’s defensive solidity and opportunistic scoring through Danilho Doekhi’s brace showcased their ability to challenge top teams. This match highlighted Union’s potential to disrupt the league standings, especially after their previous draw against SC Freiburg.
For Bayern, the draw snapped a two-game winning streak, raising questions about their consistency away from home. Harry Kane’s late equaliser in the 90th minute salvaged a point, but the performance was not up to their usual standards. Bayern’s inability to convert their 74% possession into a win suggests a need for sharper finishing and better defensive organisation. This result could serve as a wake-up call for Bayern as they aim to maintain their lead at the top of the Bundesliga.
The statistics from the match reveal a stark contrast in possession, with Bayern controlling 74% of the ball compared to Union’s 26%. Despite this, Union managed to secure six corners, one more than Bayern, indicating their effectiveness in transitioning from defence to attack. Bayern’s superior dribbling success rate of 71% compared to Union’s 33% underscores their control of the game’s tempo, yet Union’s disciplined approach limited Bayern’s scoring opportunities. The higher number of yellow cards for Bayern (4) compared to Union (2) suggests a more aggressive approach from the visitors, which may have contributed to their inability to secure a win.
The match’s pivotal moments included Danilho Doekhi’s goals for Union Berlin, the first assisted by Janik Haberer in the 27th minute and the second in the 83rd minute. These strikes were crucial in maintaining Union’s competitiveness against a formidable opponent. For Bayern, Luis Diaz’s goal in the 38th minute, assisted by Josip Stanisic, kept them in the game, while Harry Kane’s late equaliser in the 90th minute, assisted by Thomas Bischof, ensured they left with a point. The yellow cards, particularly Doekhi’s in the 88th minute, added tension to the closing stages of the match.
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. This setup allowed Union to maintain a compact defensive shape while exploiting counter-attacking opportunities, as evidenced by their two goals.
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, while Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry, and Luis Diaz supported striker Harry Kane. Despite their dominance in possession, Bayern’s formation struggled to break down Union’s defence, highlighting areas for improvement in their attacking play.
for Union’s resilience, while his second in the 83rd minute showcased his ability to capitalise on opportunities. Despite receiving a yellow card late in the game, Doekhi’s defensive contributions and goal-scoring prowess were pivotal in securing a valuable point against Bayern.
