1-1 on Easter Sunday:
Ilic Gets Union a Deserved Point off Pauli
1. FC Union Berlin took a decent, and very hard-fought point from their game with FC St. Pauli on Easter Sunday afternoon. Having gone a goal down to Mathias pereira lage’s brilliant 25th minute strike, Andrej Ilić levelled things up with a towering header early in the second half. The Pauli captain, Jackson Irvine, was sent off near the end for the second of two fouls on Andras Schäfer, but despite giving everything, the hosts couldn’t find the winner.
The starting XI: Steffen Baumgart made five changes to the side that started against Bayern a fortnight ago. Frederik Rönnow was in goal, behind Danilho Doekhi, Leopold Querfeld and Diogo Leite, in for Stanley Nsoki. Janik Haberer, replacing Christopher Trimmel, and Derrick Köhn were on the flanks, right and left, respectively. Rani Khedira was in the middle, behind Wooyeong Jeong, in for Aljoscha Kemlein, and Andras Schäfer. Oliver Burke returned to the side in place of Tim Skarke, to join Andrej Ilić up front, with Livan Burcu returning to the bench.
