  "account": "Berlin, October 17: Borussia Dortmund secured a goalless draw against Union Berlin on Saturday, but the victory did little to prevent them from being provisionally crowned Bundesliga leaders. The German side, who lost 1-0 to Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League on Wednesday and have not won any of their last three matches across all competitions, struggled for offensive momentum in the first half before elevating their performance after the interval. Unfortunately, their improvement was marred by a setback, as striker Konstantinos Karetsas, who entered the match in the 62nd minute following a previous injury scare in September linked to circulatory issues, was forced off the pitch after just eight minutes due to a recurrence of his ankle injury. With a second consecutive league draw, Dortmund earned a total of 14 points, surpassing Freiburg's tally of 13 points. In other Bundesliga fixtures, Bayern Munich, currently third on 11 points, will face RB Leipzig later on Saturday.",
