How it unfolded

The opening stages saw Borussia Mönchengladbach take the lead in the 11th minute when Hugo Bolin rose highest from a corner to head the ball from very close range into the top left corner. The early advantage was short-lived; SV Elversberg responded in the 29th minute as David Mokwa fired a right-footed shot from the centre of the box into the bottom left corner, his effort set up by Lukas Pinckert after a swift break, leveling the score at 1-1.

Just before the break, Hugo Bolin restored Borussia Mönchengladbach’s lead in the 44th minute, converting a centre-box strike with his right foot into the bottom right corner, this time assisted by Franck Honorat. Two minutes later, in first-half stoppage time, Bolin was shown a yellow card.

The second half began brightly for the hosts. In the 56th minute, Joe Scally added his name to the scoresheet, slotting a left-footed shot from the centre of the box into the bottom right corner after a fast break, again with an assist from Franck Honorat, pushing the home side ahead 3-1.

SV Elversberg kept fighting and reduced the deficit in the 66th minute when Maurice Krattenmacher tapped in from very close range with his left foot to the bottom left corner, making it 3-2. Seven minutes later, Mathieu Nguefack received a yellow card for a bad foul.

The momentum swung dramatically in the 80th minute when Felix Keidel scored from a free-kick, striking the ball with his right foot into the top left corner to draw the teams level at 3-3. Near the end of the match, Kevin Diks was booked in the 89th minute, followed by a yellow card for Amara Condé of Elversberg at the 90th minute.

In stoppage time, SV Elversberg completed the comeback. Maurice Krattenmacher, again the decisive factor, netted his second goal of the evening in the 90′+2′, this time with a right-footed shot from the centre of the box into the bottom right corner, the move finished after a fast break and set up by Noel Futkeu. The match ended 4-3 in favour of the visitors.
