BERLIN: Union Berlin eased past Hertha Berlin 3-1 in the city derby on Saturday to kick off their Bundesliga season with a key win that stretched their dominance over their rivals. In the second city derby of any kind on matchday one in the history of the Bundesliga, Union, fifth last season, made sure they kept bragging rights in the capital this year after having beaten Hertha three times, including in the German Cup, last season. Jordan Siebatcheu scored on his Bundesliga debut, following his goal in the German Cup last week, sending a glancing header past Hertha keeper Oliver Christensen.
