UNION BERLIN coach Urs Fischer felt his side were worthy winners of their first-ever Bundesliga derby against Hertha on Saturday, despite needing a 90th-minute penalty to take the points.
The match was the first-ever Bundesliga game between any two teams from east and west Berlin, coming a week before the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Sebastian Polter’s late spot-kick ensured it was East Berliners Union who came out on top at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei.
