"Patrik Schick had an early chance to break the deadlock, meeting a right-sided free-kick with a thumping header, but Moritz Nicolas got behind it to kick it away. Gladbach grew into the match, and Jens Castrope peeled off the back of Leverkusen's defence to rifle a powerful shot into the roof of the net, only for it to be chalked off for offside 23 minutes in."
"Joe Scally then raced in between two defenders to get in on goal shortly before the break, but Mark Flekken got down sharply to tip it wide of his far post. Gladbach continued to push after the break, with Kevin Stoger curling wide of the target after cutting back inside, but Leverkusen found the breakthrough in the 70th minute, with Tillman profiting from Schick's stumbling shot to bend his effort into the net with the help of a deflection."
Borussia Mönchengladbach earned a late 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen through Haris Tabakovic's header from a Charles Herrmann corner, denying Leverkusen victory. Malick Tillman gave Leverkusen the lead after 70 minutes by bending in a deflected effort following Patrik Schick's stumbling shot. Gladbach threatened earlier with chances from Patrik Schick, Jens Castrope and Joe Scally, and Mark Flekken made several important saves. Leverkusen have now dropped seven points from winning positions in the Bundesliga this season, the most of any team. Gladbach remain winless in 12 league matches against the Werkself (D3 L9).
