BERLIN (Reuters) -Union Berlin missed the chance to move top of the Bundesliga after stumbling to a 0-0 draw against bottom side Schalke 04 on Sunday to slip to third place on goal difference.

Union, who had won all of their previous league matches this year, created far too few chances against their struggling visitors, who have now played four goalless draws in a row.
