Berlin, Sep 4 (Ians) Ten-man Union suffered its first loss of the season after Benjamin Sesko delivered a late brace, sealing a 3-0 victory for Leipzig on the road at the close of the Bundesliga’s third round.
Both teams began the top clash with high motivation, exchanging attacks. Union’s Kevin Volland narrowly missed from distance, while Frederik Ronnow deflected Yussuf Poulsen’s shot over the bar. For the remainder of the first half, scoring opportunities were scarce as both defenses held strong, reports Xinhua.
The Red Bulls started the second half aggressively. Xavi Simons capitalised on Benjamin Henrichs’ square pass, driving the ball past Ronnow from the edge of the box into the top right corner. The situation deteriorated for the Eisernen, who hadn’t suffered a home defeat since February 2022, when Volland was sent off for a harsh foul on Mohamed Simakan.

Berlin, Aug 21 (Ians) Union Berlin clinched a 4-1 victory over Mainz after Kevin Behrens delivered a hat-trick to conclude the opening round of the Bundesliga.
Union Berlin had a dream start on their home turf. Within the opening minute, Jerome Roussillon’s sharp cross found Behrens, who headed in the first goal, reports Xinhua.
Eight minutes later, Behrens found the net again, this time heading a cross from Aissa Laidouni.
Mainz struggled to counter, lacking both defense and offense. Despite their dominance, Union could have furthered their lead had Mainz’s goalkeeper, Robin Zentner, not thwarted attempts by David Datro Fofana and Diogo Leite before the break.
Fofana later hit the crossbar with a promising free-kick.
Although Mainz began the second half with energy, their hopes were dashed when Union’s goalie, Frederik Ronnow, saved a penalty taken by Ludovic Ajorque in the 60th minute.

Berlin (Germany), May 15 (Ians) The day after, the 59-point record appeared like an ordinary working day around the training ground of Union Berlin.
Things went on as they always do. Grass pitches got mowed, craftsmen fixed some minor repair works, and a shy ray of sun showed up occasionally.
The club’s enthusiastic supporters might have talked about the weekend’s happenings — still oscillating between dreaming and reality — as both seem to merge into something many can’t yet believe, reports news agency Xinhua.
As logical as the upswing appears after having ended up as seventh and fifth in the two recent league campaigns, the most likely qualification for the Champions League remains something unimaginable.
As far as sober facts are concerned ahead of the remaining two rounds of matches in the 2022/23 season, things hardly can go wrong considering the achieved three-point lead for the current fourth-placed side in the national league.

Berlin, Feb 27 (Ians) Ruthless Bayern Munich remain atop the standings after three first-half goals from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Kingsley Coman and Jamal Musiala ended Union Berlin’s winning run following a 3-0 victory at the closing of the 22nd round Bundesliga.
The Bavarians took the reins from the kick-off knowing that only a victory would take them back atop the standings, reports Xinhua news agency.
Thomas Muller should have put the hosts ahead with just six minutes gone but the Germany veteran couldn’t finish the job despite Alphonso Davies good build-up work.
The visitors from the capital needed some time to gain a foothold into the game but didn’t pose a lot of danger as Aissa Laidouni’s effort wasn’t a challenge for Bayern goalkeeper Yann Sommer in the 15th minute.

Berlin, Feb 24 (Ians) Union Berlin advanced into the UEFA Europa League last-16 for the first time after clinching a 3-1 win over Ajax Amsterdam at the play-off second leg on late Thursday night.
Both teams started highly motivated and staged a lively opening period. Clear-cut opportunities were at a premium, but that changed with 20 minutes gone as Ajax’s Calvin Bassey conceded a handball penalty.
Robin Knoche stepped up and kept his cool from the spot after beating Ajax goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli with the assistance of the inside post, a Xinhua report said.
Ajax had to wait until the 40th minute to create danger in front of the target, but for all that, Mohammed Kudus pulled wide from five meters with all time and space. The Dutch visitors could have opened their scoring three minutes later, but Kudus’ equalizer was flagged offside.
At the other end of the pitch, Josip Juranovic...

Berlin (Germany), Oct 17 (Ians) Behind some of the football fairy-tale-like stories, one at times can discover dry figures. The Fc Union Berlin might be one of these examples, as the Berlin side is safely riding the wave as the German leagues’ top dog after one-third of the season.
The team of Swiss coach Urs Fischer might not be mentioned among football artists but determines the pace of the Bundesliga when it comes to running figures, defensive organization, effectiveness, and passion.
The first comparisons pop up, reminding fans of league newcomer Fc Kaiserslautern, which took the title in 1998 as a surprise, followed by the Premier League sensation delivered by underdog Leicester City in 2016.
The German league’s highest running figures (119 kilometres per game) next to the lowest number of conceived goals (six) come along for Union with under 30 percent of ball possession and an almost ludicrous passing rate of way beyond 70 percent.

Berlin, Aug 28 (Ians) Champions Bayern Munich salvaged a late 1-1 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday to remain top of the Bundesliga after matchday four — on goal difference over their next opponents Union Berlin.
Germany winger Leroy Sane fired an 83rd-minute equaliser into the bottom left corner after Sadio Mane had two first-half goals disallowed for offside and Gladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer had frustrated Bayern with 19 saves, the biggest number since data collecting started, according to statisticians Opta, reports Dpa.
Gladbach had taken the lead in the 43rd against the flow of play from Marcus Thuram after a terrible blunder from Bayern defender Dayot Upamecano, who had also looked bad in Bayern’s 5-0 German Cup meltdown 10 months ago against Gladbach.
Bayern dropped their first points of the season ahead of their trip next Saturday to Union who celebrated their biggest Bundesliga victory 6-1 at Schalke earlier Saturday and are level on 10 points with them.

Exclusive: Vito Schnabel (Before Night Falls), Julia Fox (Uncut Gems) and Steven Van Zandt (The Sopranos) have signed on to star in the dark comedy The Trainer, which Tony Kaye (American History X) is directing from a script by Schnabel and Jeff Solomon.
In development for nearly a decade, The Trainer is based on an original story by Schnabel. The film unfolding over eight days of sleep-deprived chaos follows Jack (Schnabel), a down-on-his-luck fitness expert living with his mother in Los Angeles, who takes a maniacal swing at fame and fortune, trying to realize his version of the American dream.
Schnabel, Kaye and Jeremy Steckler are producing, with George Paaswell on board to exec produce. Production will kick off in Los Angeles in early April.

Julian Schnabel emerged from a giant elevator in the lobby of his West Village home, and gestured to a large black frame adorning the wall above his doorman. Jagged white lines stretched across the dark canvas. Schnabel created the cryptic work “Tower of Babel,” in 1978, a year before his first solo show and his arrival as a major New York artist. “I’ve always been interested in painting things,” he said, almost too matter-of-fact for his own good.
Schnabel lives surrounded by his work, in the sprawling, pink-encrusted condominium he’s labeled “Palazzo Chupi.” Hiding behind dark glasses and an unkempt beard as he wanders his home in an oversized sweatshirt, the frazzled 67-year-old looks as though he’s receded into his creativity in other ways. It’s no wonder that “At Eternity’s Gate,” the new movie he’s directed starring Willem Dafoe as Vincent van Gogh, comes across...
