Gladbach overruns Hoffenheim

At the end of a disappointing season, Borussia Mönchengladbach shot the frustration out of their souls. The Rhinelanders won 5-1 (3-1) against TSG Hoffenheim on the last matchday.

On Saturday, coach Adi Hütter saw a sportingly meaningless victory. Lars Stindl (26′), Alassane Plea (44′, penalty kick), Jonas Hofmann (45’+1/68′) and Breel Embolo (53′) turned the game around for Gladbach. Previously, Andrej Kramaric (3rd) had scored early for Hoffenheim.

FCA, who had last week secured themselves the league for the eleventh year in a row, took the lead in a chaotic game through Daniel Caligiuri (11th). He converted a penalty kick. Jessic Ngankam (24th) equalized. Michael Gregoritsch (84th) made it 2-1. The relegated team remained without a win twelve times.

Fürth had to do without coach Stefan Leitl because of a corona infection. Assistant coach Andre Mijatovic was responsible for him for the first time.
