Both teams acted with defensive discipline, most of the offensive players had little room for action. When things got dangerous in the first half, it was mostly a coincidence. After a blocked cross, Florian Neuhaus deftly delayed the penalty instead of shooting directly into the goal. Breel Embolo moved down the right wing to Jonas Hofmann, whose flank in turn Neuhaus led the post (21). Hofmann himself missed the second chance of the first half from an acute angle after Christoph Kramer had taken the ball from a ball from players in midfield (35th).
Summer just below, a little busy
Wolfsburg barely took place offensively in the first round. Gladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer only had to flop onto the Borussia Park pitch once when teammate Nico Elvedi headed a high ball (44th). After all: it wasn’t the only land contact for the summer; Immediately after the restart, Sommer cleared Josip Brekalo’s shot with his head after the ball slipped out of his gloves (46th). Then he parried a powerful long-distance shot from Maximilian Arnold, Ridle Baku put the margin next to the goal (63.). After a bad pass from Sommer, Elvedi saved his goalkeeper (66th).
Aside from Wolfsburg’s few chances, both teams were safely offensive. Above all, Gladbach did nothing offensively in the second half. Generally speaking, you could have talked about a 0-0 game if Wolfsburg central defender Maxence Lacroix hadn’t made a devastatingly bad pass to Marcus Thuram’s career. The forward put the ball over Koen Casteels and crashed into the Wolfsburg goalkeeper. Hofmann converted the penalty (78th).
Wolfsburg became more offensive and tied: after a Baku cross, Weghorst hit the left corner from the corner (85). For more than the fourth draw in the fourth game of the season it wasn’t enough for the Wolves. Gladbach didn’t seem very satisfied at the end either, it’s the second draw in the fourth game, before there was a win and a loss.
