A draw after the international break

RB Leipzig drew goalless with Union Berlin on Matchday 3, with the score at 0:0 after 90 minutes.

The Red Bulls took control from the start, but the team from the capital was very compact in their defending. After a quarter of an hour, Lois Openda had some space for the first time, but his left-footed shot went wide. Our top scorer's second attempt was parried by the visiting goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow (21'). Afterwards, RBL insisted in finding a way through Union's defence. Shortly before the half-time whistle, Benjamin Henrichs had another good shot down the center (41').

In the second half, the visitors sent up their lines and began attacking us. Just before hitting the hour mark, Peter Gulacsi made his presence felt twice, defusing two headers from Tom Rothe and Diogo Leite, each launched towards RBL's goal after a corner kick.

But then we had the lead at our feet. Xavi hit the crossbar and Lois Openda's penalty was saved by the Union keeper (68', 74'). In the final phase, Union countered several times, while David Raum had a dangerous free kick in injury time. Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful.

The 0-0 result means RB Leipzig start the season with 7 of 9 possible points, remaining undefeated so far, while Union Berlin may also head back home guaranteeing their own lossless draw.
