Huge chance to equalize! Wolfsburg comes out of the cabin well and combines cheerfully to the front. Kaminski finally swings to the right to Svanberg, who suddenly finds himself free in front of Omlin because Bensebaini slips. From an acute angle, however, he fails on the Swiss, who spreads himself wide and parries the unplaced shot.

Kick-off 2nd half
45+1
16:19
Mid-term conclusion:
The teams say goodbye at half-time. Gladbach leads 1-0 against VfL Wolfsburg in a game with few chances. The guests had more of a share of the game from the start and scored early through Marmoush to make it 1-0, which was annulled by VAR after being narrowly offside. Eventually, Gladbach took the lead with their first real scoring opportunity through N’Goumou, who scored his first Bundesliga goal. Gladbach then got into the game better, but mostly remained harmless in front of the opposing goal.

Official stoppage time (minutes): 1

16:15
The final minutes of the first half are running. Gladbach narrows the spaces and wants to take the result into the dressing room. Will it be dangerous here again?
42
16:12
After the goal, Gladbach is more confident and now has more time in the game. Stindl takes the next free kick from the right onto the back post, this time Paulo Otávio can clear the ball wide with a header.
39
16:10
Stindl brings a free kick from the right halffield to the far post, where Itakura heads back into the backcourt. But there is no Gladbacher there, so the scene remains harmless.
36
16:06
This deficit is of course bitter for Wolfsburg, who have been the better team here so far. How do the guests react to the goal?

16:04
Tooor for Bor. Mönchengladbach, 1-0 through Nathan N’Goumou
Gladbach leads and that’s surprising! Casteel’s shot immediately lands in the feet of Thuram, who lays out to the right to N’Goumou. The Frenchman pulls inwards with a dangling shot and hits the left corner. It is N’Goumou’s first Bundesliga goal.
34
16:04
The foals get a free kick from a promising position about 18 meters in front of the goal. Stindl takes care of the matter and fires the ball into the wall so that it remains safe.
31
16:02
Gladbach countered via Stindl, who dropped right to N’Goumou. The young Frenchman tries to dribble into the box but gets caught by Paulo Otávio.
28
15:58
Gladbach with the first corner in the game: Stindl circles the ball to the penalty spot, where Lacroix clears with his head.
25
15:57
Good chance for Wolfsburg! The guests settle down in the Gladbach penalty area until the ball finally comes to Fischer, who aims for the left corner on the right in the penalty area. Bensebaini is still in between with his head and deflects the ball into the goal.
22
15:53
So far nothing has happened offensively at Gladbach. A harmless Plea shot from 18 meters in the middle tumbles into Casteels’ arms.
21
15:51
Svanberg pokes through from the right to Marmoush, who heads towards the goal. Elvedi unpacks the tackle and can shield the ball with great timing.
19
3:50 p.m
Paulo Otávio delivers a cross from the left to the far post, where Nmecha lurks and heads the ball across the goal. But there is no Wolfsburg far and wide, so Gladbach is back in possession of the ball.

15:46
Svanberg brings a free kick from the left halffield to the far post, where Thuram can clear with a header.
13.
15:45
Gladbach just doesn’t come into the game. They’re now trying to focus more on defending and hoping for counterattacks. That’s not normally how Borussia play.

15:42
VAR decision: The goal by O. Marmoush (VfL Wolfsburg) is disallowed, score 0-0
Nmecha puts through to Marmoush, who runs clear, keeps his nerve in front of Omlin and hits the target from 14 meters from half high. But then the VAR intervened: Marmoush was a step offside.
9.
15:39
The guests are the more active team and repeatedly pose problems for the Borussia defense due to the early pressing. In the last third, however, there is still a lack of precision.
6.
15:37
Wolfsburg with the first good chance: Svanberg crosses from the right into the penalty area, where Marmoush heads the ball too centrally on goal, so that Omlin can easily catch the ball.
5.
15:35
The wolves have the first corner in play, which Arnold circles to the penalty spot. Elvedi paid attention and cleared the danger zone with his head.
4.
15:34
The hosts have more possession in the early stages and let the ball circulate through their own ranks. Wolfsburg interferes early in the opposing penalty area.

15:31
The ball rolls. Gladbach toasts in white jerseys. Wolfsburg is in green.
15:29
The match referee is called Timo Gerach. His assistants on the sidelines are Dominik Schaal and Robert Wessel. Marco Fritz is sitting in the VAR basement.
15:25
And Niko Kovač also has to rebuild with the wolves. Ridle Baku and Patrick Wimmer are serving a yellow card suspension. But Kilian Fischer and Felix Nmecha are back in the starting XI.
15:22
Daniel Farke changes to two positions compared to the previous week. Manu Koné (10th yellow card) and Jonas Hofmann (only on the bench today) are out of the starting XI. Alassane Pléa and Nathan N’Goumou get their chance from the start.
15:15
“I’m sticking to the fact that Borussia have a strong team that should actually have a lot more points than they currently have. That’s why I won’t let the place in the table and the current form fool me. I know how difficult it is in Gladbach to play. The full focus is therefore on this game. We have to stretch ourselves clearly to take something with us there,” said Wolves coach Kovac before the game.
15:08
VfL Wolfsburg is now unbeaten in five games. Wolves have won their last two away games. Last weekend, however, it was only enough for a 2-2 draw against FC Augsburg in front of a home crowd. The guests are ranked ninth in the table with 39 points and are aiming for the international places in the final spurt of the season.
14:46
“We want to play well and get a good result. Wolfsburg have a clear idea and a clear signature under Niko Kovac. The team has a lot of talent and high attacking quality. We need a really good performance to be able to beat them to score. We’re looking forward to the game,” says Gladbach coach Farke before the game.
14:26
In the duel between the table neighbors, Borussia Mönchengladbach would like to show a reaction after a poor derby performance last weekend (0-0 against Cologne). The foals want to build on their home strengths: Borussia haven’t lost any of their last four home games, but the season so far has gone differently than hoped. Gladbach is currently in the middle of the table with 32 points.
