Borussia Mönchengladbach secured their survival in the Bundesliga after securing a dramatic 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at Veltins-Arena on Saturday evening. The match was always going to be a close one, but it was Gladbach who ultimately came out on top. The visitors had a number of chances to break the deadlock, but it was Eintracht who finally broke the deadlock with a goal from Stefan Savić. However, Gladbach refused to lie down and they immediately responded by taking the lead through a fine strike from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabon international's shot took a deflection off the wall before finding the bottom corner of the net. Eintracht were unable to respond as Gladbach continued to dominate proceedings, and it was only a matter of time before they found a way to score again. And that's exactly what they did when Christian Pulisic slotted home from close range following a neat passing move. The victory means that Gladbach have now avoided relegation for another season, and they will hope to build on this result in the coming campaign. They will face Hoffenheim next weekend, and a win could see them secure a place in Europe once more. Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt remain in danger of being relegated to the second tier of German football. They will be hoping to bounce back in their next game against Freiburg, while Borussia Dortmund will look to maintain their top spot in the table. |
