Ex-Leipzig player Oliver Burke (57th minute) gave Union the lead in front of 22,012 spectators in the sold-out An der Alten Försterei stadium. One minute later, Tidiam Gomis, who had just come on as a substitute, equalized for the visitors. Ilyas Ansah then scored to make it 2-1 (64'). While Leipzig were no longer really dangerous in the final phase, Union's Tim Skarke scored the decisive 3:1 in stoppage time.
Union Berlin's floodlit streak continues: Union have not lost a home game on a Friday night since September 2019. The Berliners have won seven and drawn two so far. Leipzig lost for the third time this Bundesliga season.
