BERLIN (AP) — Union Berlin has come from behind to beat Hoffenheim 3-1 and rise to third in the Bundesliga. City rival Hertha Berlin has lost by the same score at Bochum to drop into the relegation zone. Forward Jordan Pefok missed an early penalty for Union when his effort crashed off the left post. But defender Danilho Doekhi scored two and Jamie Leweling sealed Union’s win in injury time. Bochum’s win over Hertha team took it out of the relegation zone at the visitors’ expense. Freiburg slumped to a 6-0 rout at Wolfsburg to drop from second place to fourth. Eintracht Frankfurt moved to second with a 2-0 win over last-place Schalke.
