The home team claimed just its second win of the season to move one point ahead of local rival Schalke. Schalke lost 2-1 at Union’s city rival Hertha Berlin. Union’s second league loss of the season is good news for 10-time defending champion Bayern Munich. Bayern cut the gap to just one point with a 2-0 win at Hoffenheim on Saturday.
