Borussia Mönchengladbach's dismal start to the season is proving to be flawless.
Borussia Monchengladbach Suffer First Home Defeat to Werder Bremen in 15 Years
Borussia Monchengladbach suffered a disappointing 0:4 loss at home to Werder Bremen in the third matchday of the Bundesliga, marking their first home defeat against the rival team in 15 years.
The defeat was a result of a poor performance, as Rocco Reitz, a Gladbach player, admitted, stating that "many things were not good" and that they cannot be satisfied with the performance. Robin Hack, another Gladbach player, echoed the sentiment, saying that they played really badly and that a lot needs to change.
The game started off poorly for Borussia Monchengladbach, with Mbangula scoring the first goal after just 15 minutes, taking advantage of Fabio Chiarodia's mistakes. Chiarodia looked particularly bad against his former club in defense, a fact that was evident throughout the match.
Kevin Diks fouled Mbangula in the penalty area, leading to Schmid scoring the third goal for Werder Bremen. Stage scored the second goal for Werder Bremen after 26 minutes, exploiting a defensive error by Borussia Monchengladbach. The fourth goal was conceded in a disastrous manner at the end of the game.
Despite a dominant performance, the team showed significant defensive weaknesses and problems in finishing. A header from captain Rocco Reitz was cleared by Bremen's Felix Agu on the line in the 69th minute, a rare bright spot for Borussia Monchengladbach.
The poor start to the season has put Borussia Monchengladbach in crisis, with only one point from three games. Seoane, the Gladbach coach, was already booed before the game. In an attempt to turn things around, Seoane made a double change after an hour of play, bringing on Robin Hack, Philipp Sander, Luca Netz, Yannick Engelhardt, and Haris Tabakovic.
The upcoming home games against Hamburger SV and Bremen, as well as away games against Leverkusen and Frankfurt, could result in further setbacks for Borussia Monchengladbach. Borussia Mönchengladbach strengthened their attack by bringing on the players Ranos and Stöger during the 0:4 loss against Werder Bremen, and it was the first Bundesliga appearance for Stöger after more than a half-year break.
Giovanni Reyna made his debut for Borussia Monchengladbach in the offensive midfield, but the young talent was unable to turn the tide of the game. The defeat marks a challenging start to the season for Borussia Monchengladbach, and they will need to address their defensive weaknesses and improve their finishing if they are to turn their fortunes around.
