Mönchengladbach caught the rump team of the German record champions FC Bayern, which were 14 players (eight due to Corona) missing, at the Bundesliga start of the second half of the season. The “foals” looked after by Adi Hütter won 2: 1 (2: 1) in Munich. And that although Robert Lewandowski had shot the defending champion in the lead with his 20th goal of the season (18th).
Match winner for Gladbach was ex-Rieder Stefan Lainer, who had his legs in the game in Florian Neuhaus’s 1-1 (27th) and scored the 2-1 personally with his head (31st). Marcel Sabitzer was only able to set accents sporadically at Bayern.
Coach Oliver Glasner has a black eye, his Frankfurters should be anything but naive today (6.30 p.m., Sky) against Dortmund. At the start of the season, Eintracht had paid the hardship at 2: 5. “We are happy that we can measure ourselves against Dortmund again and show that we are closer than in the last game,” said Glasner, who gave his outlook on the game with a bloodshot eye due to his cheekbone fracture operated on.
He fell on the e-scooter on New Year’s Eve. He was knocked out at Eintracht in the autumn before his team improved from 15th to sixth place with six wins in seven games. Dortmund can reduce the gap to Bayern to six points with a win.
An ÖFB team striker is back in focus. Sasa Kalajdzic reported fit for Stuttgart’s guest appearance in Fürth after suffering a shoulder injury at the end of August.
