The Borussen did not give up as they closed the gap before the break thanks to the goal of Marcus Thuram (43rd) who found the starting 11 for the first time since December 18. After the expulsion of the French Maxence Lacroix (70th), the Swiss, Breel Embolo equalized to offer the point of the draw to his team, but Gladbach can blame themselves since they saw the goal of the victory of Ginter being refused to them by the VAR (92nd).

Goal machine (60 in the league), Gerardo Seoane’s team was keen to catch up after the defeat against Mainz last week.
