Full-time: Frankfurt 3-4 Union

It's a dramatic end to the game but Union manage to hold onto their lead despite a late onslaught from Eintracht. Burke's hat-trick ultimately proved the difference, though Uzun and Burkardt did manage to nearly turn things around for Eintracht. The nerves from the fans got to those on the pitch too, as a late flurry of late bookings and a sending off for Steffen Baumgart rounded off an enthralling Bundesliga clash.

Brilliant goalkeeping

Again, Kauã Santos has to come off his line to clear a very promising-looking opportunity for the visitors. This time, he comes all the way to the halfway line.

And it's the No.42 who takes it as well. Theate tries to flick it on at the near post but Skarke smashes it away.

Uzun reduces arrears!

A Ritsu Dōan cross from the right is only half-cleared by Union. It drops for Uzun inside the box, who dispatches the rebound cleanly on the half-volley. With just over 10 minutes to play here, will we see a remarkable comeback?

A deflected Batshuayi shot goes behind for a corner from the left. Uzun swings it in, but it's too close to the keeper, who punches it clear from his near post.

More like it

That's better from Frankfurt. Uzun plays a ball into Dōan's feet from the right touchline. The Japanese takes one touch to turn on the edge of the box before curling an effort towards the far post with his left foot. It's on target, and forces a great diving save out of Rønnow.

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

On the hour-mark, the xG values go to show just how lethal Union have been in front of goal.

Goals

Burke has his hat-trick!

Union and Burke seem to be scoring with every shot! Frankfurt lose the ball deep in Union's half, but the Berliners immediately launch a counter-attack. A long ball finds Burke, who touches it down for Ilić, before continuing his run through the middle. Ilić returns the favour with a chipped ball back to him, and Burke simply lifts the ball over Kauã Santos to make it 4-1 to the visitors.

Collins has his pocket picked by Ansah in the advanced position. The No.10 makes space for himself by dancing round three defenders before sliding it to his left where Ilić waits. The forward then spots Burke at the far post, his pinpoint cross being met by the Scotsman's head, who towers over Brown to make it 3-1. Following a VAR review, the goal stands.

Quick off his line

Haberer sees Burke through down the right flank for Union and tries to play him through on goal again with a long ball. However, this time, Kauã Santos spots the danger and rushes off his line to challenge the Scot outside his penalty area. Good goalkeeping!

Peeep!

The home side get us back underway here. Neither manager has opted to make any changes at half-time.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Frankfurt 1-2 Union

A positive end to the half sees Eintracht halve the deficit to just one goal on the cusp of half-time. Union had defended well and were happy to allow Frankfurt to dominate possession, for they were lethal on the counter, taking the lead through Ansah and Burke. Nevertheless, Brown's late goal may well have laid the foundation for a very open second half.

Half-time

Brown claws one back!

What an important goal that could prove to be! Brown cuts in off the left flank, beats Burke and lets fly. His shot deflects off the heel of Uzun, which just takes the ball away from Frederik Rønnow, which nestles in the bottom left corner. There's a question as to who will claim it, but it goes down as a goal for Brown.

Better from Frankfurt

Dōan sends Uzun to the byline, who cuts it back to Bahoya, but the Frenchman's effort is blocked behind for a corner. After the delivery, the ball bounces dangerously around the Union box, but ultimately the chance fizzles out.

Wahi goes close!

A lot of the crowd thought that had gone in. Wahi steals ground in front of his man at Union's front post to get on the end of a Brown cross, however, he can only steer it into the side netting.

Union's second

Burke did Kauã Santos with the eyes, sending the keeper diving the wrong way to make it 2-0.

38'

Frankfurt scream for a penalty

Chaïbi gets sent to the byline and tries to dig out a cross. He goes down under the challenge of Haberer, but the referee correctly dismisses the protests for a spot-kick. Chaïbi stays down holding his ribs after the challenge, but he's back to his feet now, though.

What a counter-attack from the visitors! The ball gets lumped up to Ilić, who shows great strength in his hold-up play to hold off three defenders before slipping Burke through. The Scotsman gets the chance to stretch his legs, outpacing Brown before sending Kauã Santos the wrong way with a clinical finish.

Set-piece routine

Chaïbi and Dōan stand over a free-kick just outside the Union box. The No.8 runs over it, backheeling it to tee up the Japanese international, but his curling effort is blocked. Frankfurt manage to rework the follow-up to Uzun likewise on the edge of the box, whose powerful effort stings the palms of Frederik Rønnow.

Chaïbi lets fly

Eintracht's No.8 combines well with Larsson and Uzun outside the Union box before having a go. It's well struck, but Rønnow can see it all the way.

In from Dōan

The Japanese star swings a corner in from the right, but Union manage to head it clear from the near post.

Side netting

Union turn defence into attack again very quickly and Burke finds himself with the ball at his feet on the edge of Eintracht's box. The No.7 lets fly from the half-right position, but his powerful effort nestles in the side netting.

Clinical Ansah punishes Frankfurt!

What a finish from the Union forward. Eintracht try to play out from the back. They have a warning, when they lose it and win it back immediately, before giving it away again to Burke. The Scot works it to Ilić, who shifts it on to Ansah. The No.10 picks his head up, and aims for the far post, smashing a long distance effort past Kauã Santos to get the opener.

Tentative start

Both sides are feeling their way into this game and sizing each other up. So far, they have been quite happy to play it long.

Early free-kick

Bahoya is brought down by Trimmel 25 metres from goal. Chaïbi swings in the resulting set piece towards the far post but nobody in an Eintracht shirt is able to get on the end of the delivery.

Young Eagles

The average age of Eintracht's starting XI so far this season is 24 years and 190 days - the youngest in Germany's top division in 2025/26. Will Frankfurt's fledglings return to winning ways this afternoon, or will Union spoil the party?

Steffen Baumgart on facing Frankfurt

"Whoever saw their game [against Galatasaray] would've seen how much power they have. They're a really good team as that result proved so the motivation for us is really high. Their stadium is one of the best for atmosphere too, so there's enough motivation for us and we want to provide a good performance."

Dino Toppmöller on facing Union Berlin

"Of course it'll be a very different game [to Galatasaray] with a very different dynamic. Union are a team that will let us have more of the ball, so we'll need to have a good structure in possession. Defensively, it will be about second balls and we'll need to bring physicality into the game. It will be an interesting game and we're looking forward to it."

Union looking for redemption of their own

Steffen Baumgart's men started the season with a promising 2-1 win over Stuttgart, but followed that up with successive defeats to Dortmund and Hoffenheim, conceding seven across those two games.

Frankfurt looking to bounce back

A bright start to the season that saw them win twice and excite going forward was brought to an abrupt end with defeat away to Leverkusen. The Eagles struggled to contain a rejuvenated Leverkusen side who were being led by new coach Kasper Hjulmand for the first time, and were soundly beaten 3-1.
