Gladbach down to 10 men.

[Dim Glas]

Freiburg creating more now too, another decent move, but a poor effort at the end.

Gladbach going to have to go for it big time now.

Oopppps, naughty Plea! 

[Gerry Attrick]

That's Gladbach finished.

[rafathegaffa83]

Plea is sent off. That stupid yellow in the first half has cost them.

[jillcwhomever]

Now down to ten men. 

[newterp]

That’s a poor call for the second yellow!

[rafathegaffa83]

Max Eberl sent off too

[Statto Red]

Gladbach sporting director sent off too.

exactly, a daft booking to take, so avoidable first half.

Now after having a good game apart from that, he’s lost his head a bit.

Refs had enough 

[newterp]

HHahahahaha

[Gerry Attrick]

I find Gladbach to be quite... pretentious as a team. A goal can't be a Gladbach goal unless it's via a delightful finish or flowing move. They overcomplicate it to the point they do themselves damage.

[Dim Glas]

Gladbach are screwed, with Bayern up next.

Shame but on terms of squad depth, they are right where they would be expected to be, they have the 5th best squad in the league. And quite the gap from 5th to 4th.

[rafathegaffa83]

Wendt comes on for Herrmann

[Statto Red]

Gladbach should be 4 or 5 up so many missed chances, this is often why Bayern win the title being much more ruthless, Bayern would be 5 up by now.

They were guilty of being over fussy in the first half at times. But Freiburg were fortunate with some of their defending too. The final ball hasn’t been good enough from BMG.

[Dim Glas]

Luca Waldschmidt has so much nice approach play, but his finishing is well off tonight.

Koch could maybe have done better there and got closer to goal.

But then he is a defensive player 

[rafathegaffa83]

Great save by Sommer

[Statto Red]

What a save that is, should be 2-0

[Dim Glas]

Great move, great save from Sommer.

That’s why he is the best goalie in the league 

[jillcwhomever]

That move there sums up Gladbach’s luck. Inches from going in.

[rafathegaffa83]

Gladbach all but in the EL now. An awful result, which should have been very different had the finishing been more on point.

[Dim Glas]

I can’t be sad about that result, sorry    I got all the time in the world for Freiburg, and I’m a fully fledged member of the Christian Streich fanclub.

Good game anyway, entertaining stuff, frustrating for Gladbach, but both teams had some good chances, and both goalies played well when called upon. Gladbach didn’t test Schwolow enough 2nd half, then the red card was a killer.

Christian Streich

Just punched one of his own trainers 

[Dave McCoy]

Think it's been pleasantly surprising how good the BL games have been since the restart.  Aside from an awful Schalke/Werder game I've enjoyed almost all of them that I've watched.

A serious, for realsies punch?

[Statto Red]

Gladbach next match vs Bayern away, Bayern could well need the win there to confirm them as champions too.

That's the way Bundesliga play with or without fans, but most of the matches have been enjoyable, just annoying Bayern are more ruthless & consistent than the rest.

It was an accident, he was just really excited and got carried away celebrating, but it was hilarious

You don't have to apologise.    I'm sick as a dog though.

Haven't Gladbach beaten Bayern recently?

[FlashGordon]

That reminded me of us a couple of years ago with all the fancy football but just couldn't stick the back of the net. BMG will regret that massively, should've at least been a draw.

Also helps when you make double the money of your nearest competitor and the rest of the league has no issue with you poaching their best players for minimal or no fee.

They didn't get a lot of luck when it mattered. Their crossing was a bit out all night, the one time when someone managed to put in a wonderful cross about two players were inches away from putting it in. It was one of those nights when it just didn't happen.

It is unlucky yeah but there's been one or two performances like that since they've returned. Need to win these games if they want CL football.

[Statto Red]

Yep but needed a 92nd minute penalty to win it at home though, Bayern need 9 points from the last 5 to be confirmed champions, win tomorrow & midweek against Frankfurt & Bayern will need to beat Gladbach to be confirmed as champions, withBayern being as ruthless as they have i cant see any other than a Bayern win.

I can't argue with that, their squad does need some improvements though and injuries are still costing which makes a big difference I guess. I am just hoping whatever happens they can keep hold of Rose.

I thought they had. I'm certainly not confident of them beating Bayern the way they are playing at the moment. It's just a shame that this title race is not going to the end, even the top four places look quite predictable now sadly.

Just a bit like here where the title race will be over after 2 or 3 matches.

[jillcwhomever]

We hope. We will have to see who is ready and who is not. It'll be interesting to see if teams struggle at home too like in the Bundesliga.

If it's anything like the Bundesliga when we return, we'll beat Everton & City away but lose to Palace.

It would be like going back to the old days.
