1. FC Union Berlin's under-19 side went down 3-1 in Hamburg on Saturday to Niendorfer TSV in the U19 Bundesliga.

Wili Weiße's youngsters started on top and took the lead on 15 minutes through Til Muschkowski after some nice combination play with Yasar Cinar.

However, Union suffered a setback when Berk Inaler was sent off. Mohamed Cherif and Hendrik Müller scored two goals in six minutes to give the side from Hamburg a half-time lead.

Maximilian Zoch scored a minute after the restart to send the Köpenick club back to Berlin without any points.
