Berlin, Mar. 19 (BNA): Watch former German midfielder Sami Khedira as his brother Rani Khedira leads Union Berlin to third place in the Bundesliga with a 2-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
Rani Khedira was captain in place of the absent Christopher Tremmell and broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute with the last word into the net after a corner kick.
His older brother, who last played for city rivals Hertha Berlin before retiring in 2021, tried to capture the celebrations on his mobile phone, according to the Associated Press.
Frankfurt created more chances but failed to put anything away with Union goalkeeper Frederic Reunow at his best for the home team.
Al Ittihad striker Ciraldo Becker had a fine kick ruled out for offside before substitute Kevin Burns sealed the win with a long kick from Rono in the 75th minute.
Behrens was the quickest shooter and smashed his shot through the legs of Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp to score his fifth Bundesliga goal of the season.
Union extended their unbeaten run at home in the league to 18 matches and moved the team three points ahead of Leipzig and Freiburg, who played in Mainz later on Sunday.
Also later, Bayern Munich played at Bayer Leverkusen as the 10-time champions needed to avoid defeat to get back to the top of the league.
