Monchengladbach 3 - 1 Hoffenheim: Borussia Monchengladbach keep Champions League hopes alive with Hoffenheim win
Posted Sunday, April 24, 2016 by PA
Borussia Monchengladbach moved to within a point of fourth-placed Hertha Berlin thanks to a 3-1 win over Hoffenheim on Sunday.
Jeremy Toljan did Gladbach a favour early on when he turned Granit Xhaka's cross into his own goal at the far post, under pressure from Andre Hahn.
Hahn nearly got his own name on the scoresheet just before half-time when he struck the left-hand post with only Oliver Baumann to beat, just moments after Havard Nordtveit sent a free header wide.
Mahmoud Dahoud did double Gladbach's lead before the break when Baumann fumbled the ball just yards out of his goal.
Andrej Kramaric gave Hoffenheim some hope early in the second half as he reduced the arrears, but Hahn rounded off an excellent counter-attack to restore Gladbach's two-goal lead, and there was no looking back for Andre Schubert's men, who can now once again dream of Champions League football next season.
