Struggling Union Berlin won 2-0 at home to Cologne on Wednesday to move out of the German Bundesliga's relegation zone.

Second-half goals to Benedict Hollerbach and David Fofana took Union to their fourth win of their season and only their second dating back to August.

Hollerbach scored with a superb solo effort, blasting into the top of the net while Chelsea loanee Fofana produced a mirror image goal with 12 minutes remaining to seal the result.

Union, who signed off from their debut Champions League campaign in the German capital last Wednesday with a 3-2 loss to Real Madrid, have now won two home league matches in a row under new manager Nenad Bjelica.

The loss leaves Cologne stuck in second-last spot on the table, with just two wins from 16 games so far this season.

Later on Wednesday, league leaders Bayer Leverkusen host Bochum while second-placed Bayern Munich head to Wolfsburg.

Bayern will need to play a second straight time without their midfield duo of Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich, who have again been ruled out due to flu.
