Mesut Ozil pulled a goal back on 26 minutes, but Bobdailla restored the three-goal cushion on 35 minutes.

Werder fought back with Claudio Pizarro netting five minutes before the break and Torsten Frings reduced the arrears further five minutes before the end, but Monchengladbach held on for the three points.
