Union Berlin's winless pre-season run extends to six matches | OneFootball

Union Berlin's preparations for the 2026/27 Bundesliga season continue to raise concerns after the club extended its winless pre-season run to six matches with a 2-2 draw against Cagliari Calcio.

The Bundesliga side, now coached by Mauro Lustrinelli, had also suffered a 2-1 defeat to Dynamo Dresden just one day earlier, leaving them still searching for their first victory of the summer.

After a goalless first half, Cagliari took control through goals from Yael Trepy in the 49th minute and Paul Mendy in the 67th, putting the Italian side 2-0 ahead and seemingly on course for victory.

However, Union produced a late fightback. Summer signing Ilyas Ansah scored in the 85th minute to give the Berliners hope before completing his brace in stoppage time to rescue a 2-2 draw.

While the comeback prevented another defeat, die Eisernen will be hoping to find winning form quickly as they head to their training camp in Austria, with the new Bundesliga season fast approaching.
