"Absolute cheek": Gladbach rages because of the last minute 911 gift

"Absolute cheek"
Gladbach is raging because of the last minute penalty gift

VfB Stuttgart cannot win at home again: Against Borussia Mönchengladbach, the Swabians come back after a penalty kick from the first half – only to fall behind again immediately. In the very last situation the foals still have a dubious present ready.

VfB Stuttgart have to wait until the beginning of the second half of the season for their first home win after promotion. The Swabians who were so strong away from home also failed against Borussia Mönchengladbach in their eighth attempt to win three points in their own stadium. At 2: 2 (0: 1) after two comeback chases, thanks to a good second half, it was enough for at least a fifth home draw.

Silas Wamangituka in the last minute of stoppage time with a flattering penalty kick after video evidence that infuriated Gladbach's Jonas Hofmann after the final whistle on the Sky microphone, and before Nicolas Gonzalez with the 3,000th goal of VfB in the Bundesliga (58th), the two-time lead were like the Gladbacher from. "Absolutely cheeky. I don't know why they intervene. Breel Embolo is attacked 50 times in this game and we don't get a foul! I've never seen anything like that, it's not a penalty," said Hofmann. The 28-year-old added further allegations: "This is just an absolute cheek. The game was ultimately decided by two or three people, hopefully they know that themselves. To get the hint that it is a clear mistake, I don't know what to do next. "

Lars Stindl (30th penalty kick) and Denis Zakaria (61st) had first scored for the foal eleven. Borussia missed the jump to sixth place in the table due to the draw, Stuttgart consolidated its place in the secured midfield. Both teams were clearly careful not to run into a counterattack by their opponents. Gladbacher achieved a visual superiority, but found hardly any spaces or gaps to come to a conclusion on or in the penalty area. VfB also tried to establish a controlled structure, but mostly played too imprecisely.

Solo from Zakaria

The mutual respect led to a more or less muddled game, only rarely did big opportunities arise like after half an hour, when Gonzalez headed a cross from a very short distance over the goal of the foal elf (30th). On the other hand, it took Borna Sosa's clumsy entry against Stefan Lainer in the penalty area to give the good Stindl the lead.

Gladbach controlled the game afterwards – before Gonzalez headed in after a cross from Sosa to equalize. Matthias Ginter had previously blocked a Pascal Stenzel shot on the line (54th). After a pass from Stindl, Zakaria completed a solo with a deliberate shot to lead the guests again. Stuttgart was not discouraged by this either and was rewarded by Wamangituka.

VfB will soon have the next chance to beat the Rhinelander: In the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup on February 3 (8.45 p.m.), Gladbach will again be a guest at VfB.
