Robert Lewandowski marked his 200th Bundesliga appearance for Bayern Munich with a second-half equaliser in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Union Berlin which keeps the defending champions top on goal difference. After Grischa Proemel put Union ahead with four minutes gone, Lewandowski, the Bundesliga's top-scorer, slotted his 13th goal in his 10th league game to rescue a point on 67 minutes. Bayern have drawn their last two league games and Bayer Leverkusen can go top with a home win against Hoffenheim on Sunday. "Unfortunately, we've had to again get going after falling behind, then sometimes it's only enough for a point, which doesn't meet our demands," said Bayern forward Thomas Mueller.
Munich coach Hansi Flick admitted: "We can play better football" while Union goal-scorer Proemel felt "Bayern were beatable". The game in eastern Berlin was played behind closed doors, but Union fans fired a barrage of fireworks when the Bayern team bus arrived at the Alten Foersterei stadium. Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer pulled off a superb save after 52 seconds to deny Union's Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi. Proemel beat Neuer soon after when his deft header flew inside the far post.
