Bayern held to draw by Union, miss chance to move top of Bundesliga

Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich were held to a 1-1 draw by Union Berlin on Saturday, causing them a missed chance of returning to the top of the league.

Union opened the scoring through Sheraldo Becker when he volleyed Christopher Tremmel’s free-kick into the net.

But Bayern fought back three minutes later through Joshua Kimmich, and both teams fought for a winner to no avail.
