With the match in Berlin, the Bundesliga debutants Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt opened the 6th fixture of the German league. The match was played at Alten Forestei, with Frankfurt leaving the capital with all 3 points. The first half finished goalless, with both teams struggling to find the net. 

However, unlike the first half, the second 45 minutes brought 3 goals, with Frankfurt scoring first through Bas Dost in the 48th minute. Surprisingly, Union Berlin had better ball possession then Frankfurt in the entire match. That ball possession brought nothing to Berlin, as Frankfurt scored their second goal in the 62nd minute through their new attacker Andre Silva, who is on loan from AC Milan.  

The hosts pulled back after the goal, focusing on the defense until the end.  Anthony Ujah came off the bench for Union Berlin and pulled one goal back in the 86th minute, making the last 15 minutes a really tough job for the hosts. Berlin players made one final push in the stoppage time, but Frankfurt held off their attacks and left Berlin with 3 points. With this win, Frankfurt climbed to 7th place on the table, while Union Berlin is now 14th
