The game:
7.17 p.m.: Half time in Mönchengladbach. Two long-range shots ensured the goal here, the equalization of Borussia against galling Stuttgart was deserved, but this is a very close encounter here.
42nd Minute: Goal for Borussia Mönchengladbach! Jonas Hofmann the ball falls after a pinball aria in front of the feet and from 17 meters it hits the ball from the left bottom right into the goal.
41st minute: Gladbach combines around the Stuttgart penalty area, then even comes through on the left, net pulls, but Bredlow is right, shortens the angle and holds.
38th minute: That was close! Almost an own goal by Mavropanos, because a ricochet bounces off his body in the direction of the goal. Bredlow quickly turns around and has the ball.
30th minute: Bad mistake by Koné, Coulibaly gets the ball and is then half right on the way towards the goal. But the Stuttgart man opts for an artful lifter – and it fails completely. There was much more to it!
27th minute: A free kick from the half field for the hosts does not bring anything – the subsequent corner causes a bit of confusion in the penalty area, but in the end the Swabians somehow get the ball away.
22nd minute: Even if Borussia continued to enjoy the game, the goal gave the guests a little self-confidence. You now attack earlier and are more active.
18th minute: Ginter wants to do the same to Mavropanos and tries it on the other side also with a long-range shot – but the ball hisses just past the post to the left.
14th minute: Goal for VfB Stuttgart! Konstantinos Mavropanos grab a heart from 22 meters and hit the ball in the bottom left. Strong shot, but the Gladbachers have to bother him more.
11th minute: Immediately afterwards, Bredlow parries against the net from an acute angle. The subsequent corner does not bring anything.
10th minute: Koné comes to the end from the back room and flicks the ball centimeters over the crossbar. Bredlow would probably have been there, but the Gladbachers are clearly the dominant team here.
6th minute: After a corner from the right Gladbach’s Beyer comes to the header – but there is a fair bit missing.
5th minute: The Borussians get stuck in the Swabian penalty area, but Scally wipes Mavropanos through the face – he makes a lot of it, but the decision on a striker foul is correct.
3rd minute: High pressing of the Gladbachers, of course they go into this game much more self-confidently.
1st minute: The ball rolls, Mönchengladbach kick-off.
Before the game:
For Gladbach, a success would be the third in a row – and they would catch up especially in the direction of the European Cup. In the event of a defeat, Stuttgart would actually have to orientate themselves more towards relegation battle.
Felix Brych is the referee of the game today. Almost 40,000 spectators are in Borussiapark today – that is a number that has not been seen here for a very long time.
With substitute goalkeeper Fabian Bredlow but without a total of ten professionals who are sick or who have tested positive for the corona virus, VfB Stuttgart is competing at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
