A straight red in the first minutes for Upamecano opened the way for Bayern Munich’s defeat today, which also brought in João Cancelo, visiting Borussia Mönchengladbach (3-2), in the Bundesliga.
Things couldn’t get any worse for the Bundesliga leaders in the 21st round match, with the referee, after confirmation from the video referee (VAR), giving the French central defender an exclusion order in the eighth minute. for a violation when Plea was in isolation.
It was enough to open the treadmill for the men of the house, despite Julian Nagelsmann still using the Portuguese international João Cancelo, who started on the bench, without Thomas Müller.
Earlier, Mönchengladbach took the lead, through Lars Stindl, after 13 minutes, and although Choupo-Moting still drew after 35 minutes after Davies sprinted down the left, the home side returned and decided the game, again influenced by Hofman.
The German midfielder had already assisted Stindl in the first goal, scored the second, after 55 minutes, and was again in the third and final, in the pass to Marcus Thuram, after 88 minutes, as Bayern still reduced discounts, by Mathys Count , at 90 minutes +3.
The defeat leaves Borussia Mönchengladbach in eighth place, but a game more than behind Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen, while Bayern Munich with 43 points on top can be overtaken by Union Berlin, in second place, with one point less. where Schalke 04 is held on Sunday.
Also on the hunt is rival Borussia Dortmund, third, with 40 points, which Bayern can match in a round in which it will receive Hertha BSC (17th) on Sunday.
In the game, look out for the departure of Julian Weigl, with the Benfica-loaned midfielder entering Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 50th minute and leaving very close to the end with a physical complaint.
In other matches, Leipzig, with André Silva in the starting line-up, won 3-0 against Wolfsburg – with goals from Forsberg (14′), Laimer (85′) and Szoboszlai (90’+2′) – and kept fifth place, one point behind Freiburg, who also won 2-0 in the trip to Bochum (16th).
Bochum’s defeat benefited Stuttgart, with Gil Dias on the field and Tiago Tomás still injured, bearing in mind that at home the team won, with some surprise, against Cologne (11th) with an expressive 3-0.
Stuttgart opened the scoring precisely through Gil Dias, after just nine minutes, in a match in which Borna Sosa, after 59 minutes, and Coulibaly, after 74 minutes, also scored.
Even today, Eintracht Frankfurt will host Werder Bremen, while Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund will meet Schalke and Hertha Berlin respectively on Sunday, which could lead to changes in the Bundesliga leadership.
