20 minutes are still on the clock and the game has calmed down a bit over long stretches. At the moment it is somehow difficult to imagine that a lot is still happening here.

Yellow card for Benjamin Henrichs (RB Leipzig)
…and Henrichs acts annoyed, of course. In the end both get yellow!
66
19:56
Yellow card for Lars Stindl (Bor. Mönchengladbach)
Stindl sneaks the ball out of Henrichs’ arms just before a throw-in…
64
19:56
Gladbach is currently closer to 4-0 than Leipzig is to the connection. Thuram in particular keeps appearing after another breakthrough but has no buyers in the middle.
61
19:52
In the center it is relatively tight for Gladbach, but the foals can still combine through Stindl and Thuram. The latter, however, closes a little too weakly and so this chance is gone.
57
19:47
Before the corner kick to make it 3-0, Hofmann failed after a strong through pass to Gulacsi. The national player almost managed a hat-trick.
55
19:46
Raum simply pulls away from the backcourt, but Sommer once again objects to his low shot and parries the ball.
53
19:43
Tooor for Bor. Mönchengladbach, 3:0 by Ramy Bensebaini
Gladbach scores again! After a corner kick, Leipzig can initially clarify, but Stindl lifts the ball again into the middle. There, no one has Bensebaini on the screen that can even assume freestanding and elegantly lift the leather over summer.
52
19:42
Yellow card for Julian Weigl (Bor. Mönchengladbach)
After a foul in midfield, Weigl pokes the ball away to prevent a quick attack. Of course there is yellow.
50
19:39
After a long ball, the ball comes in a roundabout way to Szoboszlai, who tries a half-volley. Summer is right again, but he has to keep this ball in the short corner.
49
19:38
Raum crosses from his left side to the middle and there two Leipzigers are pretty free. In the end it is Silva who ends up with a header, but fails because of Sommer.
46
19:37
Go on! While Gladbach came back unchanged from half-time, guest coach Rose made two changes. With Schlager and especially Werner, the trainer wants to set new accents. Haidara and Forsberg stay in the dressing room.

Mid-term conclusion:
Borussia Mönchengladbach leads 2-0 against RB Leipzig at half-time. In the sum of the 45 minutes, the lead for the foals is absolutely fine. Alone before the early 1-0 Gladbach had the game completely under control and consequently took the lead through Hofmann. Leipzig shook itself and slowly got a little better. When the guests were almost level at around 30 minutes, Hofmann pulled the plug on the Red Bulls with his second goal. Leipzig didn’t really recover until the break and so the guests will have to step up a lot after the change of sides.

19:17
Official stoppage time (minutes): 1
41
19:14
The omens from Gladbach’s point of view are not only good because of the 2-0 lead after Hofmann’s goal. Hofmann also managed a brace in the last appearance against Leipzig and the foals won 3-1.
38
19:11
Of course, Hofmann is bursting with self-confidence and just pulls away from 25 meters. His powerful long-range shot flies almost a meter past the goal.
35
19:07
Tooor for Bor. Mönchengladbach, 2:0 by Jonas Hofmann
Double pack by Jonas Hofmann! But on this hit, David Raum has some shares. The national player loses the ball on the forward movement to Thuram, who immediately picks up the pace and plays Hofmann at the right moment. He takes the leather with him and keeps his nerves in front of Gulacsi!
34
19:07
Strong ball from Kampl to Nkunku, who is faster than Scally but cannot finish himself under pressure. The Frenchman tries to serve Silva, but Elvedi clarifies in dire need.
32
19:05
A little over half an hour is played. The game is currently taking place at eye level, even if Gladbach does a little more for the game. Leipzig has been playing along since 1-0.
28
19:01
After a cross from the left, Elvedi actually clears the ball too short, but Silva can’t do anything with the rebound because the ball jumps too far away for him. In any case, there was more to it!
25
18:58
Yellow card for Kevin Kampl (RB Leipzig)
Kampl received a yellow card for the foul on Stindl.
24
18:58
Stindl is injured on the ground and because Gladbach continues to play, Leipzig also continues to play. At the end of a counter, Nkunku is just about blocked by Scally. The home fans are angry, but honestly have no reason to be.
21
18:54
That’s exactly why Gladbach is now trying to control something. Borussia takes the pace out of the game and ensures longer ball possession phases.
17
18:51
Leipzig is now getting better! Raum sends Szoboszlai on the journey, who loses the ball, but still creates another offensive scene for the guests. Before going 1-0, the Red Bulls only had 25 percent of the ball.
14
18:47
Leipzig reacted in the person of Szoboszlai, who just pulled away from the back room. The Hungarian had scored from a distance last week, but today he failed with his central shot by Sommer.
10
18:42
Tooor for Bor. Mönchengladbach, 1:0 by Jonas Hofmann
Scally prevails with a strong run down the right flank and sensitively lifts the ball to the middle. Thuram climbs the highest there and heads the ball with a touchdown on the box. Gulacsi parries, but Hofmann is spot on and dusts off for an early lead.
10
18:42
Again, a long ball reaches Thuram, who can prevail again to the baseline. There his cross is blocked to the corner. This corner kick comes dangerously and hits Elvedi’s head, who, however, fails due to the strong parrying of Gulacsi.
7.
18:40
On the field there is now also something to report for the first time. Thuram holds a long ball well on the left and cleverly puts the ball in the backcourt. There, however, Stindl’s direct acceptance is blocked.
4.
18:36
A huge banner with the inscription “No acceptance for RB” hangs in front of the Gladbach fan block, and the fans also have a lot of whistles with them with which they want to make themselves heard. As soon as Leipzig has the ball, the Fohlen fans get going.
1.
18:34
Here we go! Gladbach toasts in the usual white dress. Meanwhile, the guests from Leipzig are all in red.
18:20
On the guest side, there are significantly more changes in the starting eleven. Compared to the game against BVB last weekend, Laimer is injured. Schlager, Diallo and Werner are just sitting on the bench today. Haidara, Kampl, Gvardiol and Silva are new.
18:07
Florian Neuhaus, who is currently out with a knee injury, is absent from Gladbach today. But with Nico Elvedi, a returnee can replace him. Otherwise, the starting eleven remains the same as in the 0-0 win against Freiburg.
17:58
RB Leipzig also has a new coach, but only for almost ten days. Marco Rose is the new man on the fringes of the Red Bulls and immediately got his team back on course. With a very convincing win against BVB and a good performance at Real Madrid, the guests got back on track in terms of performance. Of course, more points are needed today if you don’t want to lose the connection at the top.
17:52
Borussia Mönchengladbach currently have the second best defense after Union Berlin with five goals conceded. However, the foals can only come up with seven goals of their own. The priorities under the new coach Daniel Farke are clear and have resulted in nine points so far. Most recently, however, they remained without a win three times in a row, but this phase is to get over with points against Bayern and Freiburg. Nevertheless, today should at best be another win.
17:42
Good evening and hello to the Bundesliga top game of the seventh matchday! Borussia Mönchengladbach and RB Leipzig are in action this Saturday. As usual, kick-off is at 6:30 p.m.!
