Union Berlin fight back from three down to draw 3-3 with Frankfurt
Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt shared six goals in a dramatic Bundesliga opener, the match finishing 3-3 after Union clawed back a two-goal deficit late on. The result left both sides level on a single point from their opening round fixture.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Emmanuel Latte Lath gave the hosts an early lead inside three minutes, converting from a Josip Juranović assist, but Frankfurt responded immediately. Younes Ebnoutalib levelled in the 10th minute and struck again a minute later to put the visitors 2-1 ahead by half-time, with the interval score reading 1-2.
Ebnoutalib completed his hat-trick in the 67th minute, finishing off an assist from Elias Baum to make it 1-3 and put Frankfurt seemingly in control. Union Berlin refused to fold, however, as Leopold Querfeld pulled one back in the 79th minute from another Juranović assist, before Tim Skarke, set up by Querfeld, snatched a stoppage-time equaliser in the 90+2nd minute to complete the comeback.
Union had the better of the underlying numbers despite conceding three times, registering 19 shots to Frankfurt's 12 and 10 on target compared with the visitors' three, while also winning five corners to two. Frankfurt held the edge in possession at 52 percent but could not match the hosts' cutting edge in front of goal after taking their early lead.
Ebnoutalib inspired the fightback from Frankfurt's side with all three of the visitors' goals, earning a match-high rating of 9.25 despite his side ultimately being pegged back.
Union Berlin's 10 shots on target to Frankfurt's three underlined how much more clinically the hosts tested the goalkeeper across the match.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Union Berlin 32%, the draw 27%, Eintracht Frankfurt 41%. It finished Union Berlin 3–3 Eintracht Frankfurt.
Eintracht Frankfurt's rating edge outweighs Union Berlin's home ground — Eintracht Frankfurt are the stronger side on our strength rating, and the early-season home fade on top gives Eintracht Frankfurt the lean. The draw at 27% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Eintracht Frankfurt at 41%?
Eintracht Frankfurt sit 185 points higher on our strength rating — 1665 to 1850. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,107 such games. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Union Berlin's column. Across 10,761 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018. The 300 most similar past games finished 30–21–49.
Why only 41%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 41% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 27% and Union Berlin at 32%.
Why the draw at 27%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.8 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,023. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Eintracht Frankfurt average 16 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 185 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Union Berlin's last five: D-W-W-W — clearly the hotter side on recent results. Between equals, recent form told us almost nothing: the home side won 44.7% of 2195 games when clearly hotter and 42.9% of 4007 when clearly colder.
