The season promises to be difficult on all levels for Borussia Mönchengladbach, who will still have to wait before achieving success in the league this season. For the sixth time in as many matches, the German club left without knowing the joys of a victory this Friday. This time, it was Union Berlin who extinguished the hopes of Franck Honorat's teammates, barely half an hour into the game.
Danilho Doekhi broke the deadlock with a header from a corner (3rd), and he then took advantage of Ansah's monstrous work to drive the point home. The 20-year-old striker played perfectly with his body to eliminate a first player, then two others thanks to his power and an absolutely disconcerting push of the ball. His shot on the post then allowed Doekhi to score a double (26th). Tabakovic reduced the gap after a good shift from Enghelhardt (33rd), but Gladbach's defense, still too permissive, left Khedira plenty of time to volley at the edge of the area (81st, 3-1). Union Berlin is 7th in the Bundesliga. Gladbach remains last more than ever with three points.
