Gladbach coming on the 11th Bundesliga-Last Heidenheim match with an easy 3-0 win.
BILD scores from Gladbach stars!
Moritz Nicolas: Had to be careful before the break so he didn’t freeze – not a single shot on goal from Heidenheim. The first test came after 47 minutes when he guided Mainka’s header over the crossbar. It was also important for him to touch Beck’s sharp cross – otherwise Pieringer could have pushed him away.
NOTES:2
Nico Elvedi: Got a penalty when he was brought down by Schöppner in the penalty area after a corner kick. Solid performance as defense boss.
NOTES:2
Insiders reveal the details: THIS is what Nagelsmann wrote to Rüdiger via text message
Joe Sally: Replaces the injured Philipp Sander in a three-back formation. This comes at the expense of his newfound offensive qualities somewhat.
NOTES:3
Kevin Dicks: Also confidently converted his second penalty in a row. Really understands defense.
NOTES:2
Yannik Engelhardt: Just missed the FCH box with a volley from 16 meters after eight minutes. Lots of walking, very unobtrusive this time.
NOTES:3
Rocco Reitz: Some good ideas for future games. His backheel assist to make it 0-2 by Tabakovic was outstanding.
NOTES:2
Jens Castrop: Amazing how he got past before Tabakovic’s shot hit the crossbar on the right. Very committed performance.
NOTES:3
Luka Netz: Always with a good offensive approach – but he stops the action too often.
NOTES:3
Florian Neuhaus: Distribute the ball in midfield. Unfortunately his volley from 20 meters after Ramaj’s outing went wide. And after the break, his shot from 18 meters hit the post.
NOTES:2
Franck Honorat: He repeatedly tore through Heidenheim’s defense with his speed. His assist to make the score 0:3 by Machino was powerful.
NOTES:2
Haris Tabakovic: Almost continued his goal-scoring streak after 17 minutes – but his shot hit the crossbar. But he scored his 7th goal of the season after 55 minutes.
NOTES:2
Shuto Machino (72nd for Tabakovic): Came on – and scored his goal just three-nine minutes later
NOTES:2
Giovanni Reyna (72 for Neuhaus): Won three of his four duels and played some good passes.
NOTES:3
Robin Hack (81 for Honorat), Kevin Stöger (82 for Engelhardt) and Tim Kleindienst (90 for Castrop) no longer scored.
