BERLIN — Frederik Rönnow has saved a last-minute penalty for Union Berlin to beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 and stay away from the Bundesliga's relegation zone on Sunday. Hugo Ekitiké had the chance to equalize from the spot in the fifth minute of stoppage time after Union defender Diogo Leite was penalized for hand ball through a VAR check, but his shot was too central and Rönnow preserved Union's win. The visitors had substitutes to thank for coming from a goal down to end their three-game losing run. Frankfurt dropped to fourth after its third successive Bundesliga defeat. Hoffenheim hosts last-place Heidenheim to complete the 25th round later.
