An important yellow
Gamboa has only just come on and picks up the game's first yellow. It was an important one as he took down Vertessen who was about to break into their half.

Ronnow with a shot!
Union's keeper comes up for a stoppage time corner and gets his head on the cross but it's just over the bar. What a story that would have been!

Great defending!
Aaronson whips a ball in and it looks like Doekhi might get his head on it but in flies Schlotterbeck to make a huge clearance.

That was the chance!
Union create a great chance and Gosens whips the ball in, it misses everyone except for Aaronson. There are hearts in mouths but his header is weak and straight at Riemann. That might be it.

Tensions on the bench
The Union bench are starting to look very worried. One more goal and automatic relegation is off the cards. If it stays like this their next match against Cologne is enormous.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

4-3! Insanity!
Union get back in the game once again and it's all thanks to Aaronson. Winning a ball over the top in the area he brilliantly takes it down and squeezes a pass through for Hollerbach to tap in. Wow.
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

Schlotterbeck should have two!
Passlack fires a brilliant ball across the Union box but Schlotterbeck just can't control it and ends up taking it out of play.

3-2! Oh my word!
It's chaos in Berlin as Bedia gets Union right back in it. Bedia brilliantly holds off his defender for a long ball which Schafer collects. He hands it over to Bedia through on goal and the substitute again shows his strength by brushing aside his man and slotting in, what a game we have!

Huge block!
Vertessen gets involved again and prods the ball to Schafer in the box. It's blocked at point-blank range and Union want a penalty, but they won't be getting one.

Hello! Game on?
Union could be back in the game here! Second half substitute Vertessen collects a ball in the middle of the pitch and tries his luck from range and it's straight in, that's exactly what this game needed!

3-0! Can you believe it!
It all starts from a throw in and Union just can't get out. They keep trying to clear but eventually the ball falls to Passlack on the right. His first time cross drifts through the box and in comes Schlotterbeck to blast it in via a deflection. The defender refuses to celebrate having previously played for the home side.

Close!
Juranovic is looking lively and has his best chance so far from a free kick. The winger jumps highest and gets plenty of power on the effort but it's too close to Riemann.

Big day at the bottom
Union and Bochum will be assured of at least a play-off spot if one of them wins today, or they play out a draw. Post-match, each sides' attentions will then turn to Mainz's game later this evening. The 05ers start the day two back from both these teams so that gap could be maintained, extended or wiped out in what is a huge day in the relegation battle.

Stay away from that trapdoor!
A win for either club will eliminate any fears of automatic relegation. If the game ends all square and second-bottom Cologne fail to beat Freiburg, both clubs will be assured of finishing no lower than the relegation play-off spot.
