BERLIN (AP) — Borussia Mönchengladbach and Union Berlin drew 0-0 for a point each in their bids for Bundesliga survival on Sunday.
Kevin Volland hit the crossbar and the post for visiting Union, which ended its three-game run of defeats but is still waiting to end a five-game winless run.
Union was promoted to the Bundesliga in 2019 and had been flying ever higher until this season. The Köpenick-based team was just three points above the relegation zone before Mainz played second-from-bottom Cologne in another relegation battle later.
A Mainz win would leave Union relying on goal difference to stay out of the relegation zone.
Gladbach remained just two points above Union.
Last-place Darmstadt could be relegated later Sunday when it played fellow promoted side Heidenheim.
Three rounds remain after this weekend’s games.
