Union Berlin threw everything at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, 29 August 2026 but couldn't hold on to a share of the spoils that once looked out of reach, with the game finishing 3-3 at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei. Frankfurt were the sharper side early on, going in 2-1 up at the break despite Union enjoying plenty of the ball at home. The hosts piled forward after half-time, racking up 18 shots to Frankfurt's 11 and forcing ten saves worth of work from the away goalkeeper, but the visitors kept finding a way back. Younes Ebnoutalib was the man who made the difference, earning a stunning 9.6 man of the match rating for his part in Frankfurt's resistance. Union will feel they should have won it given how much pressure they piled on, with five corners to Frankfurt's two adding to the sense of missed opportunity. For Frankfurt, though, a point on the road against a team that dominated large spells feels more like a job well done than a chance wasted.
The Matchup
Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt drew 3-3 at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei, in a game that could easily have finished either way. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Union Berlin holding 48% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly. Below is a closer look at exactly how the numbers from the match broke down.
