Union Berlin Earn Thrilling 1-1 Draw Against Frankfurt Despite Frankfurt Being 10 Men.
Union Berlin earned a thrilling 1-1 draw against 10-man Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga last night, thanks to centre back Leopold Querfeld's penalty in the 87th minute. The match was played at Union Berlin's home ground, where a fiery atmosphere had already led to stand closures before kickoff.
Frankfurt were reduced to ten men after German defender Sebastian Rode was sent off for a reckless tackle on Union's Andreas Kragniez in the 53rd minute of the game. However, Frankfurt continued to push forward despite the disadvantage and created several scoring opportunities throughout the match.
In contrast, Union Berlin struggled to gain any momentum against the depleted opposition. But just when it seemed like they were going to be outmuscled by Frankfurt's attacking unit, Querfeld stepped up and slotted home the penalty from 12 yards out, securing a point for his team.
The draw was an impressive result for Union Berlin given their opponents' numerical disadvantage, but there was still much debate among fans and pundits on social media.

! It's like the teams are just making it impossible to predict who'll win! I mean, Frankfurt getting sent off and still managing to push for a goal? And Union Berlin struggling despite having their opponents on the ropes? 
I guess that penalty from Querfeld was a lifesaver, though 
. Either way, I'm just glad there wasn't any physical contact involved - all those tackles can be so scary for the players! 
. And that red card to Rode? It just highlights how inconsistent the league has been when it comes to refereeing decisions 
. I mean, 10 men against Union Berlin and they still couldn't win? That's like our politicians having a 90% approval rating on paper but failing to deliver in real life 
. And what's up with Frankfurt's manager, Oliver Glasner? Can't he motivate his team when it matters most? It's like he's more concerned with saving face than winning matches 
. Anyway, a point is a point for Union Berlin and they should be thrilled with that 
. But let's not forget, 10 men or not, Frankfurt had the better chances on goal 
.
10 men Frankfurt vs 11 men Union Berlin? that's just crazy talk! 
Querfeld's penalty in the last minute was pure magic 
, i mean who needs to score early when you can wait till the last sec and nail it?! 
Frankfurt were so on edge without Rode and Union took full advantage of that 
. I'm loving this draw for Union Berlin btw, they definitely showed their skills in the face of adversity 
!
What's going on with these teams? Frankfurt gets sent off and suddenly they're pushing forward like they didn't just lose a player? 
I mean, Frankfurt being 10 men should've been a total game changer, but somehow they managed to stay in it and push Union all the way! 
, I'm still on the edge of my seat thinking about how he slotted it home like that 
. Union Berlin's defense really came under pressure with Frankfurt having a man advantage, but they held strong 
But one thing for sure is that this match was an absolute thriller 
️! What do you guys think? #UnionBerlin #EintrachtFrankfurt #Bundesliga #FootballFrenzy
anyway, great job by union berlin's querfeld for scoring that pen in the last minute 
it was like they finally woke up and decided to attack 
Frankfurt got destroyed with 10 men, so i think this result is a win-win for them 
they proved they can handle adversity and still compete against top teams
. Querfeld's penalty goal in the 87th minute though... that's a great equalizer! It shows that even with the numerical disadvantage, Frankfurt still has some serious firepower.
