Bundesliga Live Scores: Borussia Mönchengladbach flex their muscles at the cost of Dortmund
January 26, 2021 Authorbaji55
On Friday night, the Foles kicked off the Bundesliga action with a win over Borussia Dortmund in the
Borussia Derby, ending a week marred mainly by the off-field controversy involving Breel Embolo. The
victory also marked the end of their miserable record against the Schwarzgelben, not having won any
of the previous eleven meetings.
It now looks like, with the lack of Champions League fixtures, after an inconsistent start to the season, Marco Rose's side is finally kicking into action. This victory was choreographed in a way that allowed Gladbach to soak up much of the attacking pressure from Dortmund to wear their opponents down and be clinical in their offensive phases, their fourth win in five matches.
The defensive team, headed by Nico Elvedi, has shown that they can maintain their European status and build on their 4th place finish last year. Nevertheless, Dortmund has real cause for concern, continuing to look disjointed in the final third and incredibly fragile at the back. They didn't win any latest three Bundesliga games (losing two), and Gladbach leapfrogged them with this result to make matters worse, bringing BVB down to 7th position.
