**Borussia Dortmund Draws 1-1 with Union Berlin: Stoppage-Time Equalizer by Fullkrug Prevents Two Consecutive Wins**
In a thrilling encounter between Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin, the two Bundesliga giants met in a tense match that ended in a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena on Sunday evening. The match was filled with excitement from both sides as they pushed for the win, but ultimately, the game came down to stoppage-time.
Union Berlin started the game brightly, taking the lead through a well-taken goal by goalkeeper Michael Langer. However, Dortmund quickly responded with a counterattack, finding themselves level just before halftime. It was a close contest throughout the first half, with both teams controlling possession but unable to find the back of the net.
The second half saw more of the same, with both sides pressing for the breakthrough. In the 87th minute, Union Berlin managed to regain their lead with a fine strike from midfielder Max Kruse. But Dortmund's defense held firm, preventing any further goals.
As the clock ticked down into stoppage time, the tension reached its peak. With only minutes left, Dortmund made a crucial move. Fullkrug, the club's captain, stepped up to take a shot from distance. His effort sailed over the crossbar, narrowly missing the target. The crowd erupted in disappointment as the score remained 1-1.
But just as it seemed the match would end in a draw, Fullkrug delivered another moment of brilliance. He intercepted a corner kick and took advantage of his speed to beat the keeper and tie the game. The final whistle blew, and the players celebrated their equalizer in front of the packed stands.
This result prevents Borussia Dortmund from achieving two consecutive wins, which could have given them a significant boost in the league standings. Instead, the teams will need to regroup and prepare for the next match, knowing that a win is still within reach.
The victory for Union Berlin also means they remain unbeaten in their last three matches, continuing their impressive run in the Bundesliga. Both clubs will now turn their attention to preparing for upcoming fixtures and seeking to maintain their momentum in the competition.
