1. FC Union Berlin extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table with a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. Goals from Sheraldo Becker and Jordan Siebatcheu gave Urs Fischer's side a deserved victory, which moved them three points clear of Bayern Munich at the summit.
Union were the better side throughout the match, and they created the better chances. Becker opened the scoring in the first half with a fine strike from outside the area, and Siebatcheu added a second in the second half with a clinical finish.
Eintracht Frankfurt had their chances, but they were unable to make the most of them. Randal Kolo Muani was particularly wasteful in front of goal, and he missed several good opportunities to equalize.
