The hosts doubled their lead in the 50th minute through Danilho Doekhi, who headed in from a corner kick. Bayern mounted a late surge to try and salvage a point. Jamal Musiala pulled one back for the visitors in the 80th minute, but it proved to be too little, too late. The defeat marks the first time Bayern have lost to Union Berlin in the club’s history. It also ends the Bavarians’ unbeaten streak of 31 matches in all competitions, dating back to February. Union Berlin, meanwhile, celebrated a historic victory that moves them up to second place in the Bundesliga standings. Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann admitted that his team had not played well enough. “We were not aggressive enough, we did not create enough chances, and we made too many mistakes at the back,” he said. “We need to learn from this and come back stronger. We still have a long way to go in the season, and we have the quality to bounce back.” For Union Berlin coach Urs Fischer, the win was a dream come true. “This is an incredible moment for us,” he said. “We played with great heart and determination, and we deserved to win. We showed that anything is possible in football.”
