Full-time: Gladbach 4-6 Frankfurt

What a ridiculous game of football! Frankfurt flew into a stunning 5-0 lead at the break before adding a sixth just after half-time after playing some truly sumptuous football. Dino Toppmöller then decided to make a few changes, and suddenly it was a completely different game as Frankfurt became the side unable to defend. This led to Gladbach pulling back four goals for the game to finish 6-4.

One final consolation goal

Ranos makes the result look almost reasonable as he heads home from a lovely lofted cross from Scally. What a bonkers football match!

Unbelievable!

What a weird second half this is turning out to be. Gladbach make it 6-3. They couldn't, could they? Engelhardt pounces on a loose ball in the box to stab home. There is a lengthy VAR check for offside, but in the end, the goal is given.

Unprecedented dominance

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

To say this game has been one-sided is a big understatement.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Gladbach 0-5 Frankfurt

An unbelievable half of football! Gladbach have been woeful and Frankfurt magical. Everything has been clicking for the visitors as Uzun, Chaïbi, and co have looked simply unplayable. That half-time whistle couldn't come soon enough for the hosts, who are set to finish the weekend bottom of the table.

Half-time

And now it is five!

Magical football again, but Gladbach are all over the place. Uzun slips the ball into the path of Chaïbi in the box, who produces a magnificent return flick into Uzun's path before the Turkish international hammers the ball into the top corner.

Chaïbi adds a fourth after more beautiful football from the visitors. Dōan combines with Knauff down the left before whipping in a low cross to the unmarked Chaïbi, who slots in another for the visitors.

A small moment that summarises the first half perfectly. Machino hesitates, and Brown pounces on the loose ball.

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Reitz slides the ball into the path of the advancing Castrop, but his left-footed effort is simple for Santos.

Knauff makes it 2-0!

Chaos ensues in the Gladbach penalty area after Dōan sends in a nice free-kick. After a few challenges, the ball falls back to the Japanese international, who swings at the ball, but doesn't connect cleanly. Luckily for Dōan, the ball rolls straight into the path of Knauff, who tucks away the chance. It is a long way back for Gladbach now.

First shot on goal

Dōan tries to roll his marker in the box and shoot, but his effort is blocked by Chiarodia long before it poses any serious danger.

An energetic start

Both sides have started with intensity, but there are no chances to speak of so far.

Gladbach are looking to get their first league win of the season, whereas Frankfurt will be wanting to bounce back after a couple of disappointing results.

Watch: Top 5 goals by shot speed

Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi produced the highest shot speed for a goal this season against Wolfsburg last week. Who else cracks the top 5 for 2025/26?

Eugen Polanski on facing Frankfurt

“For me, they are one of the best teams in Germany and have established themselves in Europe in recent years. They play at an extremely high tempo, have clear patterns of play and are very skilful. We’ve got a proper challenge on our hands.”

Dino Toppmöller on facing Gladbach

“There were signs of improvement in their first game after they changed their coach [a 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen]. I’m expecting a passionate stadium and a passionate Borussia Mönchengladbach team. We’re going there to get three points.”

Gladbach boost

Gladbach are still searching for their first Bundesliga win of the campaign but will take confidence from their last-gasp draw at Leverkusen last time out, in their first outing since the dismissal of head coach Gerardo Seoane. That said, the Foals are still winless in the league since 29 March (11 matches).

Ups and downs in Frankfurt

After starting the season with wins over Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim, Frankfurt are winless in two Bundesliga games following defeats to Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin. The Eagles, who have also recorded wins in the DFB Cup first round and UEFA Champions League, start the weekend in sixth.
