Union Berlin<\/a> picked up their first-ever Bundesliga point as\u00a0Die Eisernen\u00a0<\/em>scored late on during a 1-1 draw at Augsburg<\/a>. Thousands of fans travelled over six hours from the German capital and witnessed their side bounce back from last weeks 4-0 home defeat to RB Leipzig.<\/a><\/p>\n

Union Berlin Get First Bundesliga Point<\/h2>\n

Die Eisernen Pick Up One on the Road<\/h3>\n

There was a lot of hype surrounding Union Berlin’s<\/a> debut Bundesliga match last weekend, but it didn’t go to plan as they lost heavily at home to RB Leipzig<\/a>, and they welcome Borussia Dortmund next week in what will be another tricky fixture.<\/p>\n

But, on the road,\u00a0Die Eisernen\u00a0<\/em>have picked up their first point of the new season. Despite falling behind and going down to ten men late on, Union rescued a point.<\/p>\n

Ruben Vargas gave the hosts the lead, who themselves were looking for a first win this season, but Sebastian Andersson netted the visitors’ first-ever top-flight goal to earn a point.<\/p>\n

Both sides were poor defensively last time out, with Augsburg conceding five at Dortmund while Union let in four at home, and the first half was a cagey affair with both sides focusing on defence.<\/p>\n

The second half saw aides up the tempo. Augsburg made the breakthrough when Vargas tucked home from the cross, but second-half substitute Andersson netted their first-ever top-flight goal. But, shortly after, Kevin Schlotterbeck was dismissed for a reckless foul. But, Union held on to claim their first top-flight point.<\/p>\n

Upcoming Fixtures for Union Berlin<\/h3>\n

Die Eisernen\u00a0<\/em>face two home fixtures against Dortmund and Werder Bremen. Dortmund have won their opening two Bundesliga fixtures, scoring eight goals, whilst Werder are yet to register a point this campaign.<\/p>\n

Union then travel to Bayer Leverkusen, another side that have won their opening two games, before welcoming Eintracht Frankfurt to the Stadion An der Alten F\u00f6rsterei<\/p>\n
