Union Berlin was the first to threaten, with Van de Bos sending the ball just wide of Kobel’s near post. In a… lackluster first half, Dortmund had its first chance in the 23rd minute, when Maximilian Bayer attempted a right-footed shot from the left side of the box, but the ball went wide.
Meanwhile, in stoppage time of the first half, Enouaneri took a left-footed shot from the center of the box, but Frederik Renoff made the save. In the second half, Karetsas came on as a substitute for Dortmund, but the young forward had to leave the game in the 70th minute due to injury, with the score remaining 0-0 until the final whistle.
