In a game between two formally equally strong opponents, only one goal made the difference in the end.
After the first 45 minutes, Leipzig and Union Berlin went into the dressing room without a goal.
Union wanted to bring a breath of fresh air into the game with a double substitution and so Urs Fischer sent Marius Bülter and Leon Dajaku onto the pitch for Taiwo Awoniyi and Cedric Teuchert (60th).
Emil Forsberg replaced Kevin Kampl on the offensive and should provide an exclamation point (60th).
Dani Olmo served Forsberg, who scored 1-0 in the 70th minute of the game.
Urs Fischer wanted to move 1. FC Union Berlin to a jolt and so Keita Endo and Niko Gießelmann, replacing Sebastian Griesbeck and Christopher Lenz, should give new impulses (81st).
With Olmo and Christopher Nkunku, Julian Nagelsmann took two players from the starting lineup off the field in the 87th minute.
They were replaced by Yussuf Poulsen and Amadou Haidara.
In the end, a goal made the difference between RasenBallsport and Union Berlin.
