"As painful as it is to admit, Bayern Munich escaped to victory from Berlin. Even after Harry Kane headed in a corner from Joshua Kimmich to put Bayern 2-0 in front after 24 minutes, Union Berlin never looked like crumbling. VAR intervention threw the home team a lifeline when Jonathan Tah was adjudged to have used an arm to play the ball back to Manuel Neuer. Union Berlin's Austrian center-back Leopold Querfeld scored with the ensuing penalty kick to halve the deficit before the break."
"Early in the second half Union Berlin were undone by an own goal for the second time in the match, and Bayern once again had a two-goal cushion with the score at 3-1. However, that goal only managed to spur on the home team. After Querfeld reduced the deficit to 3-2 with another spot kick, Union Berlin were by far the better team for the remainder of the game. Bayern looked tired as they desperately held on for the win."
