In the “final” to get into the knockout round of the Europa Conference League, the iron lacked more offensive penetration and must therefore now say goodbye to the European competition. Here you can read the live ticker for the game.
Union Berlin missed the knockout games in the Conference League. In the last group game, the Bundesliga club did not get more than 1: 1 (0: 0) against Slavia Prague and said goodbye early on in his European Cup comeback after 20 years of abstinence.
In the Olympic Stadium, Ivan Schranz (50th) brought the guests from the Czech capital into the lead. The equalization of attacker Max Kruse (64th) and an urgent final offensive were not enough. Berlin was also lucky with two aluminum hits by the Czech champions.

Conclusion | A courageous appearance in the second half is not enough for Union to survive the group stage. In the end, the iron had to admit defeat to a ripped-off Prague, which posed the hosts with big question marks, especially with their low-level tactics. The many long balls did not produce the expected answers.
Union Berlin vs. Slavia Prague: Conference League NOW in the live ticker – game over!
90. + 5 | The game is over. Slavia Prague moves into the Europa Conference League playoffs, Union’s international journey is over.
90. + 4 | Goalkeeper Rönnow again! The goalkeeper who went ahead comes to the ball with a head, but cannot bring enough pressure behind it. There is repulsion.
90. + 4 | Union is now besieging the Prague penalty area. The consequence is a corner.
90. + 2 | Voglsammer tries a long ball on Behrens. However, it comes just one step too late.
90. | Five minutes are replayed. Is there anything else possible here for the Iron?
88. | Since Union can hardly drive an attack to the end, Prague repeatedly succeeds in taking time off the clock with a counterattack. Sometimes there is a corner, sometimes there is a dribble up to the corner flag. Stoppage time is about to begin.
85. | Olayinka dribbles to the baseline and can take some time off the game.
81. | Traoré leaves several Berliners behind and then pulls off from an acute angle. In extreme distress, a defender blocks the corner.
80. | Union still has a good ten minutes of regular playing time to secure the Conference League stay. As of now, Slavia Prague is still a participant in the playoffs.
77. | The guests have now sorted themselves even more defensively than already. Union tries to break through the Czech wall with long balls – but so far no getting through.
74. | Prague takes the yellow-warned Bah and Lingr off the field. For the two of them, Ekpai and Stanciu are two more defensive midfielders. For the Union, Voglsammer takes the place of Becker.

70. | Prague switches quickly after winning the ball. Holes runs on the left side up to the penalty area and finally lays down to Bah. Rönnow safely hit his shot from a good 20 meters.
69. | Urs Fischer swaps three times: Becker replaces the created and warned Awoniyi in the storm. Haraguchi and Ryerson should ensure more offensive creativity. In their place, Trimmel and Khedira leave the square.

66. | You didn’t necessarily see the hit coming like that. But so be it. The decimated audience can now also be heard again.
64. | Berlin is alive! The third corner is decapitated again in just a few minutes. This time, however, the ball jumps in front of Max Kruse’s feet. He puts the ball in front of him in his typically calm and ball-safe style of play and closes it from a good 12 meters. The shot is deflected at least once and ends up untenable in the right corner of the goal.

60. | Union increases the pressure.
55. | Prague pushes for 2-0. After a header extension, Olayinka appears alone in front of Rönnow. Fortunately, his shot hits the right post.
54. | In a duel with Kruse, Prags Dorley goes down. The Berliner reacts annoyed and asks his opponent to get up faster. This triggers a pack formation, at the end of which Awoniyi and Ousou see yellow.

51. | Bitter for Union! Baumgartl is delivered on the sidelines and plays a deadly ball directly into the feet of the incoming Schranz. He takes the measure and places the ball perfectly in the top left corner.

48. | The subsequent free kick brings Becker to the second post. There is Baumgartl, who prevails against two players and when he falls, his head hits the ball. The ricochet jumps at Awoniyi’s feet, who in turn shoots Khedira. Best opportunity for Union so far!
47. | Bah meets Gießelmann with his hand in the face. Not worth discussing.

46. | Both teams start unchanged in the second half.

Half time | The Union only has 45 minutes to prevent an international exit. In order to realize this project, a more creative approach than before is required. The offensive style of play of the Reds has so far mainly consisted of serving Awoniyi at the top. Against the deep defense of the guests, this alone could not do much.
Union Berlin vs. Slavia Prague: Conference League NOW in the live ticker – break!
45. + 2 | Without a lot of stoppage time, Obrenovic sends the players into the dressing room. Break.
45. | Becker pulls out another corner on the right-hand side. The subsequent ball lands safely in the hands of Mandou.
43. | At the moment, the action is mainly taking place in midfield. There are no opportunities to score.
37. | So far, the Unioner Offensive has not really gotten to grips with the low-lying style of playing in Prague. A serious chance is still missing for the capital city residents.
34. | Almost the 0: 1 for Prague! Trimmel loses the ball to Dorley in the penalty area, who in turn does not hesitate and puts it back on holes. His shot from a good 14 meters hits the crossbar.
32. | Becker wants to claim the ball and hits Kacharaba with his arm in the face. The result is a small pack formation and a completely understandable yellow card.

30. | Awoniyi can prevail in the penalty area against two men, then lays back on Prömel. However, he messed up the ball after acting too hesitantly.
27. | The rebound after a corner almost suddenly lands at the feet of Olayinka, who tries to pass the ball directly into the goal with a heel. Instead of the ball, however, it only hits air. Luck for union.
24. | Another conclusion to the game: Prags Lingr measures from a good 25 meters. His shot just missed the goal, but Rönnow would probably have had the ball.
19. | The corner is cleared, but the ball remains in Berlin possession. Awoniyi finds the following cross in the penalty area, but it is delivered well and cannot use it.
18. | In a roundabout way, the ball comes to Kruse, who pulls from the second row. He hits the head of a Prague defense attorney. The result: corner for Union.
11. | Not much was missing! Becker wins the ball near the center line and marches directly towards the defense. Shortly before the penalty area, he wants to put through to Awoniyi, but he does not get the ball.
10. | After the first minutes clearly went to the East Berliners, Prague has now regained some of the game.
8. | In a crowd in the penalty area, the ball jumps onto Becker’s arm, whereupon some Prague players begin to complain. However, referee Obrenovic lets the scene continue as he does not want to have seen any unnatural movement towards the ball.
6. | The first corner of the game is played by Prague but, like the subsequent margin, does not pose any threat.
2. | The Union desperately needs a victory today. Otherwise the international season would end prematurely.
1. | The ball rolls.
