Christoph Baumgartner collides with assistant referee Mike Pickel after a duel with Paul Jäckel.
2: 2! Hoffenheim and Union Berlin split in a draw. The ÖFB team players Christoph Baumgartner and Stefan Posch miss the table lead.
No winner in Sinsheim. Union Berlin wrestles a point from Hoffenheim on Sunday in the second round of the German Bundesliga. The home side won 4-0 on matchday one, so with a three-point they would have climbed past Wolfsburg to first place.
Christoph Trimmel and his Berliners have something against it. The 34-year-old starts on the bench and will be substituted on in the closing stages. In front of it, he sees how Niko Gießelmann brings the guests into the lead after ten minutes.
Kevin Akpoguma (14th) and Jacob Bruun Larsen (30th) turned the game around before half-time whistle. Immediately after the break, Taiwo Awoniyi made it 2: 2 (47th) – the later final result.
ÖFB team player Stefan Posch plays through in the central defense of Hoffenheim. Christoph Baumgartner is also in the starting line-up, crashes with linesman Mike Pickel around ten minutes before the end and has to be replaced. Hopefully, after Sasa Kalajdzic and Stefan Lainer, it won't be the next injury to a team player this weekend.
