With the first victory after last four home defeats in series, Borussia Mönchengladbach made a liberation in the relegation battle of the Football Bundesliga.

The team of coach Adi Hütter prevailed on Saturday against the immediate competitor FC Augsburg with 3: 2 (1: 0) and was able to expand the projection on the relegation platform to four points. The Augsburg, however, remain with only one victory from the past six games in a dangerous situation.

Replayed 10,000 visitors at Borussia Park (30 minutes), Jonas Hofmann (46th) and Ramy Bensbaini (67th), and Ramy Bensbaini (67th) the hits for the hosts, Iago (55.) and Alfred Finnbogason (90. + 3 ) met for Augsburg.

Gladbach’s coach had no reason to change his starting eleven, especially since Christoph Kramer to Corona forced break initially only on the bank sat and Florian Neuhaus took the defensive part in midfield next to Koné.

In the first home game before greater spectator scales, the hosts came against highly continuous Augsburgs to first opportunities by Hofmann and Neuhaus – both missed the gate as close as Alassane Pléa in the 24th minute.

Guest coach Markus Weinzierl had to alter his double sect for the failure of Arne Maier after the 2-0 success against Union Berlin and brought Jan Moravek.

His team disturbed the Gladbacher early in the game structure and lurked for mistakes. One of them was the ex-Borusse André Hahn with a header, but goalkeeper Yann Sommer reacted quickly and was also a secure restraint for his team again this afternoon.

FCA connection comes too late

The Gladbacher dominated the game, combined to the penalty area, but then missed the urge to the goal. Whether Hofmann or Pléa – often missing cold cutishness. It made better Koné, who caught a soulful edge of Pléa with his head and achieved the deserved 1: 0 lead after half an hour.

Guests stayed dangerous to standards, at counterattacks, staggered patterless and had a highly motivated offensive player in the team, which lurked on every occasion. But with the first chance after the restart, the hosts increased by Hofmann, who transformed a pass by Bensbaini directly to 2: 0 and had the game under control.

However, Iago succeeded with his first goal of the season of the 1: 2 connectors, but after a nice turn of the Gladbacher with fine preliminary work by Neuhaus, Bensbaini managed by head 3: 1, marriage Finnbogason still managed 2: 3.
