Union Berlin – FC Schalke 04

Union Berlin’s home defeat to FC Schalke 04 ended 1‑3, leaving the hosts stranded on just one point from three matches and still stuck in 16th place with a meagre four goals scored and ten conceded. Schalke, meanwhile, moved up to 10th after collecting four points, their record now one win, one draw and one loss, and a modest goal difference of three for and four against. The result also settled the season’s head‑to‑head, giving Schalke the sole victory in their two‑team rivalry. With only a single point separating Union from the relegation zone, the loss deepens their battle for survival, while Schalke’s modest climb hints at a potential mid‑table push.
