Monchengladbach let two-goal lead slip

Carlos Eduardo's late penalty rescued a point for Hoffenheim in their meeting with Borussia Monchengladbach. A keenly-fought contest provided ample entertainment for those in attendance, with the game ending 2-2. It took 31 minutes for the deadlock to be broken at the Rhein-Neckar Arena, with Monchengladbach edging ahead courtesy of a Filip Daems spot kick. The visitors then established a firm grip on proceedings six minutes into the second half when Roberto Colautti doubled their lead. However, Hoffenheim displayed commendable courage to haul themselves back into the game and earn a share of the spoils. Vedad Ibisevic reduced their deficit on 69 minutes before Eduardo coolly slotted home from 12 yards in the final minute to complete a remarkable recovery. Hoffenheim bring an end to a wobble which has brought five defeats in their last seven outings, but their European dreams appear to be in tatters. Mochengladbach, meanwhile, will still harbour ambitions of securing a Europa League place and are up to eighth in the table.
