The defending champions have now drawn three of their past four Bundesliga games but owing to the goal difference they sit above RB Leipzig.
Taiwo Awoniyi got a glorious chance to double their lead when he picked up a Alphonso Davies mistake, but the left-foot finish went just wide with only Manuel Neuer to beat.
Lewandowski appealed for a penalty when he accused Marvin Friedrich of bringing him down as he was about to strike a shot. Andreas Luthe made a few saves as he palmed away Serge Gnabry’s drive and also spread himself to deny Kingsley Coman.
Luthe spread himself superbly to deny Kingsley Coman before Neuer had to be alert when Awoniyi was almost picked out by a clever ball over the top.
Keita Endo had golden a chance to put Union back in front yet again but he ended up wasting it and Luthe produced a last minute save to denied Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s late header.
