Borussia Mönchengladbach 2 - 1 Bayern Munich
Hazard (Pen.) 39', Ginter 44 - Vidal 74')                            

It was a homecoming for Mönchengladbach native and former Gladbach player and coach Jupp Heynckes on Saturday evening, but it was the Foals, of all teams, who ruined his perfect record since taking over from Carlo Ancelotti at Bayern last month, handing him his first defeat in 10 matches in charge. 

The first few minutes was a display of two teams determined to shut each other down, and the first real incident of note wasn't a chance on goal, but rather, an injury. Christoph Kramer ran into the back of Jannik Vestergaard as both were going for a high ball in the eighth minute and came out the worse for wear. It quickly became clear that he was bleeding from a head wound. He was subsequently stretchered off the field and Tony Janschke replaced him.

 After that, Bayern really began to take the initiative, but were unable to create solid goal-scoring opportunities. Instead, it would be a rare counterattack by the home side that would produce the match's first goal. Thorgan Harzard had barely crossed into the Bayern area when Niklas Süle's hand made contact with the ball and referee Manuel Gräfe pointed to the spot. The video assistant referee in Cologne then contacted Gräfe, who delayed the taking of the penalty while the play was reviewed. After a delay of about a minute, the VAR obviously decided there were no grounds to overturn Gräfe's decision and Hazard was allowed to take the spot kick. He tucked in low into the corner of Bayern's goal. Sven Ulreich did well to get a touch on it, but not enough to keep it out. 

Bayern responded by upping the pressure on Gladbach's back four, and they essentially didn't let up for the rest of the match. However, Heynckes' men suffered their second setback five minutes later, when on another rare foray into Bayern territory, Lars Stindl had his shot deflected off target, but Matthias Ginter alertly swooped in at the far post for the easy tap in. Bayern had dominated, but went into the halftime break down by two.

The Bavarians continued to pile on pressure in the second half, with Gladbach's keeper Yann Sommer equal to the task every time but one. After a looping ball into the area was headed away by a defender in the 74th minute, it fell to Bayern's Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal outside the box. His low strike went past several players and although Sommer was able to get his left hand to it, it found its way into the net. 

Bayern continued to knock at the door for the rest of the match, but just couldn't find a way through.
