The guests have not yet made good enough use of the space available for the counterattack, giving them promising opportunities to switch.
67
21:57
Double change at Gladbach. While it is a bit more offensive with Pléa instead of Neuhaus, Jantschke must be slightly damaged from the square.

21:55
Kimmich puts his own keeper under pressure with a half-high pass. Ulreich can somehow knock out the leather with an arc lamp in front of the storming Embolo.
62
21:52
Bayern increase the number of strokes! Lewandowski prevails on the edge of the box against two opponents and closes with the pike. Summer can only look afterwards, like the ball in front of them bar clap! Bad luck for FCB.
60
21:50
Koné plays the ball in Gnabry’s feet in front of his own penalty area. The winger takes Lewandowski on the left, who immediately chips on the far post. Müller heads very gently past the right post!
58
21:48
Bayern again! Lewandowski once dodged to the left wing and crossed sharply into the center. On the five, Müller keeps his foot in, but directs the ball exactly to summer.
56
21:46
Nice combination of the FCB through the center. After a one-two with Müller, Musiala shoots from the edge of the penalty area. Sommer directs the shot heavily over the crossbeam.
54
21:43
After a cross ball that was defended too briefly, Marc Roca came from a central position 18 meters to shoot. However, the Spaniard does not fully catch the ball and the leather spins just past the left.
53
21:42
Kimmich pulls a corner from the left directly onto the goal. But summer is there and fists the ball out of the danger zone.
50
21:39
First deal after changing sides. Koné’s hammer from the second row goes well over it.
48
21:38
Bayern initially take control of the game again.
46
21:35
Go on! Both teams come back to the pitch unchanged in terms of personnel.

Kick-off second half

21:21
Half-time conclusion:
Break in Munich! After 45 minutes, Borussia Mönchengladbach leads Bayern 2-1. The record champions started the game well, had the match under control in the first half an hour and, thanks to Lewandowski, also deservedly took the lead after 18 minutes. But out of nowhere the foals came back into the game through Neuhaus (27th) and then turned the result completely around with Lainer’s header (31st). As a result, the guests acted much more courageously while the Bavarians became increasingly nervous. Shortly before the half-time whistle, both sides had another huge chance, but Embolo, Lewandowski and Müller were denied the goal. Excitement is still guaranteed for the second round! See you soon!
45
21:17
And Bayern have another huge chance! Lewandowski is sent behind the chain of foals with a wide blow. On the left, he leaves Elvedi and almost pulls off the baseline. The ball first hits the right one post and then at Müller’s feet. But Ginter is spot on and prevents the 2: 2 shortly before the line!
45
21:15
There are another 120 seconds on top.
45
21:15
Official injury time (minutes): 2
45
21:15
Nearly the 3: 1! Kramer has a little too much space in front of the penalty area and puts Embolo on the right in the penalty area. The Swiss pulls up to the short corner from an acute angle, but Ulreich reacts quickly with his left hand and can parry. Held strong!
43
21:14
Neuhaus refueled nicely on the left into the penalty area and appeared free in front of Ulreich. The midfielder fails on the goalkeeper, but a hit would not have counted, because Siebert suspects a handball by Gladbacher in advance.
41
21:11
A few minutes until the break. Since the equalizer, Munich has not come into the attacking game smoothly.
38
21:08
Again Lainer speeds up the right wing and crosses at full speed towards the penalty spot. But Pavard is there and clears with his head in front of Koné.
36
21:06
With the leadership behind them, Gladbachers are now withdrawing a little deeper into their own half.
34
21:04
The record champions are trying to find an answer. Gnabry’s flank from the right track is deflected. So summer can rush out of his gate and grab the leather in front of the incoming Lewandowski.
31
21:01
Goal for Bor. Mönchengladbach, 1: 2 by Stefan Lainer
And how! With the second correct chance, the foals will turn the game! Netz brings a corner kick from the right side with a cut on the near post, where right-back Lainer comes to the ball in front of Pavard and heads to the left corner. Ulreich is on the ball again, but the FCB goalkeeper has to admit defeat again.
30th
21:00
Can Borussia draw further courage from the surprising equalizer?
27
20:56
Goal for Bor. Mönchengladbach, 1: 1 by Florian Neuhaus
The compensation for Borussia out of nowhere! Lainer’s cross from the right is unable to control Embolo at the far post. Kimmich intervenes, but produces a ricochet in his own penalty area, which lands right at the feet of the detached Neuhaus. This takes the ball from ten meters volley and nets flat in the lower left! Ulreich is still easy, but can no longer prevent the impact.
25th
20:55
Kimmich pulls a free kick from the half-field to the right post, where Tillman heads back into the center. But summer is on the post and grabs the ball.
23
20:52
Sabitzer sometimes gets involved offensively, pulls into the center and just fires at it from 27 meters. The ball only flies over the crossbar to the left.
20th
20:51
The so far better team deserved to take the lead. Because in contrast to the guests, FCB does a lot more for the game.
18th
20:47
Goal for Bayern Munich, 1-0 through Robert Lewandowski
The 1-0 for Bayern and that was indicated! Süle opens the game with a pass to the right, where Gnabry immediately lets Müller clap into the center. Today’s captain puts Lewandowski in the pits with the first contact. The Pole turns elegantly around Elvedi in the free space and completes it from a half-right position from 13 meters in the short corner! A great attack by the record champions and the 20th goal of the season by Bavaria’s number 9!
16
20:46
During the build-up the foals are already put under pressure by the leader of the table in their own penalty area and thus have difficulties to come forward in an orderly manner.
14th
20:44
The first good chance for the record champion! A deflected pass ends up by chance in the course of Lewandowski, who leaves Ginter on the left in the box with a hook and pulls off from 14 meters. Sommer gets his legs closed in time and can parry.
11th
20:41
Bayern control the game in the initial phase. Gladbach tends to withdraw and has not yet been noticed offensively.
8th
20:38
Sabitzer initially gets stuck in the wall with his execution, but the bullet ricochets at Gnabry’s feet, who immediately pulls away. Sommer can fend off the powerful low shot from 17 meters to the side.
7th
20:37
Elvedi comes too late in the duel against Lewandowski. There is a free kick for Bayern from 24 meters away from the goal in a central position.
5
20:36
Summer only separates from the ball in front of his own penalty area at the last moment and is then rudely checked to the ground by Lewandowski. The Gladbach goalkeeper is back on his feet quickly.
3
20:33
Nagelsmann has arranged his eleven in a 4-2-3-1. Sabitzer helps out on the left defensive position today, Kimmich on the right. Gladbach formed in the initial phase in a 3-4-3.

20:30
The ball rolls in the drifting snow in Munich! The guests toasted in white jerseys, the Bavarians are dressed in red.
20:23
The referee of today’s game is Daniel Siebert. He will be assisted on the sidelines by Lasse Koslowski and Jan Seidel. VAR is Bastian Dankert.
20:12
However, the Gladbachers can draw courage from their previous appearances this season against the record champions. In addition to the 1: 1 in the first half of the season, the Hütter-Elf bowled the FCB with a 5: 0 from the DFB-Pokal. In addition, the guests have had by far the best record of all Bundesliga clubs against Bayern since 2014. With a view to the crashing cup, the hosts are looking for reparations. “I have such easy thoughts of revenge. Fuck the circumstances. It shouldn’t stay that way,” said Julian Nagelsmann aggressively.
20:03
At Borussia, Hütter has also made five changes since the last game in 2021 at TSG Hoffenheim. Comebacker Jantschke, Elvedi, Netz, Koné and Neuhaus replace Bensebaini (Africa Cup), Scally, Zakaria (both corona infection), Thuram and Herrmann (both bank).
19:54
The guests from Gladbach, on the other hand, fight against their negative run at the start of the back series. From the last five league games there was only one point, the last win goes back to November 20th against bottom light Greuther Fürth. With only 19 points, the foals are also just ahead of the relegation rank. “Of course we know the table and know that the situation is dangerous. We want to catch up in the second half of the season. For that we have to improve in certain things,” said coach Adi Hütter in advance and warned despite the tense personnel situation a strong FC Bayern team.
19:44
Thus, the still very powerful line-up of FC Bayern almost automatically. Compared to the first half of the season against VfL Wolfsburg (4-0), Ulreich, Süle, returnees Kimmich, Sabitzer and Tillman are instead of Neuer, Upamecano, Hernández, Davies and Sané there. But when you look at the bench you can see the shortage of personnel. The record champions completely lack Bundesliga experienced forces there.
19:36
The preparation of FC Bayern for the start of the second half of the season was enormously affected by a number of corona cases. New players drop out due to a positive corona test, including a number of regular players such as Neuer, Davies, Upamecano, Hernández, Coman or Sané. Since Choupo-Moting and Sarr (at the Africa Cup) as well as Goretzka and Stanišić (due to injury) are also canceled, the record champions are starting with an extremely thin line-up. A postponement of the game, which was discussed with the DFL and Gladbach, was not implemented. Bayern coach Nagelsmann was unimpressed by the topic at the press conference: “I’m not one to cry, I’ve never been. There are certainly clubs that go to Munich and say it’s actually unjust that we’re against have to play this world selection. “
