Borussia Dortmund’s torrid Bundesliga season continued as Union Berlin recorded a 2-0 home win over Edin Terzic’s side at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei.

German midfielder Janik Haberer opened the scoring after eight minutes to put the hosts in control of the league encounter as Berlin retained their place at the top of the Bundesliga standings.

The 28-year-old then doubled his side’s lead in the 21st minute as Dortmund slumped to a desperate first-half finish.
