Borussia Monchengladbach 3-3 Hoffenheim
Gladbach trailed three times but thrice they fought back to stun betting websites and share the spoils with European dreamers Hoffenheim.
Dieter Hecking’s men have won just once in seven football games prior to the match, so betting odds were stacked against them in their meeting with Hoffenheim. Not to mention that the Sinsheimers were brimming with confidence after winning two in a row.
However, Gladbach proved they aren’t easy to beat at Borussia-Park as they provided an answer to whatever Hoffenheim threw at them.
The visitors took the lead through Benjamin Hubner, who fired a sizzling header off an Andrej Kramaric corner on 13 minutes. Nonetheless, the Foals levelled matters at the half hour when early substitute Josip Drmic tapped the ball into an open net after beating keeper Oliver Baumann.
Kramaric scored his seventh goal in as many matches shortly after the restart, converting the spot-kick after Serge Gnabry was fouled in the penalty area. Lars Stindl, however, equalised once again with 17 minutes remaining on the clock.
Hoffenheim looked to be on their way to claiming all three points after Florian Grillitsch quickly restored their lead, only for Matthias Ginter to score a stoppage-time leveller to give Gladbach an unlikely point.
The draw is a huge blow for Julian Nagelsmann’s outfit as they are now in danger of missing the Europa League.
Meanwhile, Schalke 04 boosted their Champions League qualification with a 0-1 win over Wolfsburg; though, they are made to work hard and needed a late penalty save and an own goal to get all the points.
The same goes for Frankfurt, who remained in the running for a top-three finish with a 3-0 demolition of Mainz.
On the other hand, Hamburg are in danger of getting relegated for the first time in the club’s proud history. They remain seven points away from safety following their 1-2 defeat to Hertha BSC.
There were also wins on the road for VfB Stuttgart and Werder Bremen, who took down Freiburg and Augsburg respectively.
