In an away fixture, Mainz was ahead 2-0 with under 15 minutes remaining in the match. However, Union Berlin made a remarkable comeback, scoring twice with efforts from Jeong Woo-yeong in the 77th minute and Danilho Doekhi in the 86th minute, securing a 2-2 draw.

Current Standings

Following their third straight draw in the league, Mainz finds itself at the bottom of the table, accumulating a total of nine points. In contrast, Union Berlin currently occupies the ninth position with 22 points.

Heidenheim’s Draw

In another match held concurrently, Heidenheim faced Cologne (10th place) and the game also ended in a 2-2 tie. This result leaves Heidenheim in the relegation zone, ranked 17th.

Weather Disruptions

Two matches scheduled for Saturday were postponed due to extremely cold temperatures across northern Germany. The games between St. Pauli and RB Leipzig, as well as Hoffenheim’s clash against Werder Bremen, could not proceed as snowstorms led to school closures and disrupted public transit in Hamburg and Bremen.

Upcoming Matches

The day’s fixtures will conclude with Bayer Leverkusen hosting Stuttgart.

Bayern Munich’s Opportunity

On Sunday, league leaders Bayern Munich have the chance to increase their advantage over second-placed Borussia Dortmund to 11 points if they secure a victory against Wolfsburg (14th place) at the Allianz Arena.
