Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund draw 0-0 amid Karetsas injury
In the Bundesliga, Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund played to a 0-0 draw. While Dortmund maintained possession and held the top spot in the table, they struggled to break through Union's defense. Union Berlin, managed by Mauro Lustrinelli, secured their second consecutive clean sheet, showing significant defensive progress.
The match was overshadowed by a concerning injury to Dortmund's 18-year-old Greek midfielder, Konstantinos Karetsas. After entering the game in the 62nd minute, he twisted his ankle just eight minutes later and had to be carried off. Club officials, including sporting director Lars Ricken and coach Niko Kovac, expressed concern, noting that further medical tests are required to determine the severity. There are fears he could face several weeks of absence, which would impact both Dortmund and the Greek national team.
In other Bundesliga action, SV Elversberg secured a dramatic 4-3 victory over FC Augsburg in a high-scoring match characterized by multiple VAR interventions and penalties. Additionally, Saarlouis achieved a decisive 38-27 win in a handball derby against Vallendar.
