A duel at eye level: Gespitzel match between Bayer and Borussia
Bayer against Borussia, which was not only geographically a neighborhood duel, but also with regard to the table. In this Rhine derby turned the question: Who’s going Bundesliga third in the last week before the winter break: Leverkusen or Mönchengladbach
First, spoke at the BayArena much for the “Werkself” – not only because Hakan Calhanoglu Leverkusen had shot lead (18 minutes), but also because the Bayer professionals in the first half had distinct advantages. After the equalizer of Roel Brouwers (40) and an increase in the second half, but the Gladbach earned the 1: 1, you should be a little more useful, even if Leverkusen because of a total of more goals scored in the table for the time being Third remains.

Before kick-off, both parties had next to score some more similarities. Both clubs had qualified during the week in the European Cup for the knockout phase, Leverkusen in the Champions League, Gladbach in the Europa League; Both coaches had their starting rotate (five changes in Leverkusen, four at Gladbach), and both teams had made for the return to everyday life some things that were already visible at the pace of the initial phase.
Leverkusen took the initiative early, but with a quick counter-attack to score Patrick Herrmann lead Gladbach. The winger Borussia meets as often as against Bayer against any other club, but this time his shot just missed the far post. On the other hand, it tried Karim Arabi Bell with a long-range shot, setting a Leverkusen trend for the first half. This first test did Gladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer to master, few minutes later he had with Calhanoglus shot from twenty yards no chance. The shooter benefited not only from its fine shooting technique, but also by Kiessling previously recovered aerial duel against Jantschke.
After that it missed Bell Arabi and Spahic to increase the lead. Gladbach could be put on the defensive, but knew how to get out of trouble towards the end of the first round – with a goal in the standard format: Defender Brouwers, summoned because of the failure of Captain Stranzl in the middle, recovered a corner kick from Hazard volley to compensate and showed that this fleet Gladbach game, was despite the now clear field advantages for Bayer, far from being lost.
This attitude underlined Kruse shortly after the break with a dangerous shot that just missed the target. A little later Brouwers was about to become the man of the match, but this time he could not find the net from four yards away. Both teams fought passionately, but were not productive enough to enforce the decision. This will keep them after an entertaining encounter in the table with the same score and goal difference quite closely adjacent.
