The match between the German football teams Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen, ended in an ravishing 3-3 draw, which means that I’ve definitely won the bet I placed on Over 2.5 goals.
This way, Borussia Mönchengladbach prevented Bayer Leverkusen from retaking the second place in the Bundesliga chart with a late equalizer in a thrilling 3-3 match at Borussia Park. Still, Leverkusen remain only one point behind Borussia Dortmund.
I think that in this match, Bayer Leverkusen were more offensive than their opponents. Stefan Kießling was denied a penalty after a hard tackle of Martin Stranzl, who scored the first goal of the match in the 44th minute. So, although the visitors started brighter, and even had an Andre Schurrle effort ruled out for offside, the hosts managed to take the lead on the stroke of half-time when Martin Stranzl met a corner and sent a looping header over Bernd Leno’s body.
However, only minutes later, more specifically in the 52nd minute of the game, Leverkusen managed to re-establish the balance on the scoring table, when an impressive string of passes culminated in a lovely volley of Sidney Sam, who sent the ball right into the back of the net. 6 minutes later, Luuk de Jong from Mönchengladbach added the second goal for his team. He was followed by Stefan Kießling, who added the fourth goal of the match in the 60th minute. With the help of Andre Schurle who scored in the 64th minute, Bayer Leverkusen took the lead in the match for the first time. Unfortunately for them, the 86th minute arrived with another goal of Borussia Mönchengladbach, this time scored by Patrick Herrmann.
All in all, the match between these two German teams proved to be a sheer delight, exciting and at the same time enchanting, a true marathon of goals.
