Union Berlin, who are unbeaten at home in the league this year, had their greatest opportunity midway through the second half when Sheraldo Becker misfired on a Jerome Roussillon cross. In only their fourth season of top-flight football, a victory would have moved Union three points behind Borussia Dortmund.
Union Berlin earn three points in crucial victory
With four matchdays left, Union are still in third place and on track to make their Champions League debut. Leverkusen’s slim chances of making the Champions League were also harmed by the deadlock; the team, coached by Xabi Alonso, is currently eight points below the top four. In other news, Freiburg improved their prospects of following Union to the first-ever Champions League qualification with a 1-0 victory away at Cologne thanks to a second-half Ritsu Doan tap-in.

The victory moved Freiburg up to fourth, two points ahead of RB Leipzig, which also won 1-0 on Saturday, and behind Union on goal differential. Christopher Nkunku scored Leipzig’s first league goal since November, helping them defeat Hoffenheim. Nkunku scored his 13th goal in 21 league games this season after receiving his first start since returning from injury. He received a feed from Emil Forsberg and finished with his left foot into the right corner of the goal.
