Borussia Moenchengladbach shock Bayern Munich in impressive comeback

Bayern Munich stumbled to their second loss in Bundesliga after Borussia Moenchengladbach launched an impressive comeback to turn the tie around.

Bayern Munich had gone two goals up before the half-hour mark thanks to a 20th-minute Robert Lewandoski penalty and a Leon Goretzka strike in the 26th minute but the hosts did not back down.

In the 36th minute, Lars Stindl set up Jonas Hofmann to half the deficit for Borussia Moenchengladbach. The duo combined again just before the conclusion of the first half to draw their team level.
