Champions League
Union couldn’t reach Braga and break the incredible losing streak
In the match of the fifth round of the group stage of the Champions League, Union Berlin failed to beat Braga from Portugal. The match ended with a score of 1:1.
Already in the 1930s, Braga played in the minority after seeing Moussi Niakate, who took away the red card for a flagrant foul.
Then, at the end of the first half, Robin Gosens put the Germans ahead, and the Portuguese were able to equalize the numbers on the scoreboard, and Alvaro Djalo, who scored at the beginning of the other half, became the author of the winning goal.
In this way, Union could not break the national streak of 16 games without a win and there were 13 defeats. In this case, Union still has a chance at third place in the group, which would allow it to reach the European League in such a disastrous season. Braga has four points and Union has three.
