BERLIN (AP) — Erling Haaland has scored twice as Borussia Dortmund emerged with a hard-fought 4-2 win over Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. The 21-year-old Norwegian grabbed Dortmund’s second goal in the 24th minute and secured the result in the 83rd just after Union scored to set up what looked like a nervy finale. Florian Wirtz led 10-man Bayer Leverkusen to a 3-1 win at Stuttgart. It was the third loss for American coach Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team in five Bundesliga games this season. Eintracht Frankfurt ended Wolfsburg’s perfect start to the league in a 1-1 draw.
