Bayern Munich’s 16-game win streak was snapped in Berlin…but if you ask Union Berlin, it’s bitter that the result was only a draw. Harry Kane’s 90th-minute equalizer for the 2-2 means that Bayern can still walk away with heads held high.
And for Union, it’s still a ‘partial’ triumph.
“Of course we’re annoyed that we conceded again in added time, but if someone had said that to me before the match, I certainly would’ve said that’s a partial success,” Union head coach Steffen Baumgart shared after the game,
as captured by FCBayern.com. “But overall we saw a great Bundesliga match today between two teams who desperately wanted to win. On the whole, we’re a bit sad and a bit happy.”
Union defender Danilo Doekhi did his part, scoring both of his team’s goals. But it was not enough.
“We’re certainly a bit disappointed – when you’re 2-1 up against Bayern, you want to win. So, the disappointment about the late goal outweighs,” the center-back said afterwards.
Bayern Munich hit the road in the ultimate “trap game” situation after big wins over Bayer Leverkusen (Bundesliga) and Paris Saint-Germain (Champions League) just before an international break.
For any team, that could have spelled danger — and this Bayern Munich squad was not immune.
