Two more goal-festivals at Borussia-Park at the end of the Hinrunde. First, André Schubert’s squad was eliminated from the DFB-Cup by losing 3-4 to Werder Bremen, who capitalised on a poor second half defensive performance by the Foals. End-to-end-action continued against Darmstadt 98, which took the lead against Gladbach and looked like winners after the Red card for Granit Xhaka, but Borussia impressively bounced back with ten men, and Swedish international Oscar Wendt turned the stadium on its head when he scored a late 3-2-winner for the Foals. Manuel runs you through these matches and proposes three winners and losers of the first half of the season for Borussia Mönchengladbach at the end. Thanks for listening to Vollraute Abroad, merry Xmas and happy holidays!

Borussia did it! The 2-0 win at Bremen not only erased a 28-year-spell without victory at Werder, but also secured Champions League football
next season for good. Manuel talks to Werder-expert Niklas Wildhagen (@normusings) from bundesligafanatic.com and talkingfussball.com about the match and both Werder’s and Gladbach’s season. Lastly, the final matchday with Gladbach hosting Augsburg is previewed.

Gladbach won the battle of the CL-Teams in style, leaving them five points ahead of Leverkusen with only two games to go. While beating Bayer at home ended a 26-year-long-record for the Rhine region rivals, the foals now travel to Werder Bremen, where Borussia has failed to win in the past 28 (!) years – 1987 saw a stunning 7-1 for Gladbach over Otto Rehagel’s Werder at the time.
