"RB Leipzig's early title ambitions took a blow after they were held to a 0-0 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach. The visitors, who are now five points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich while having played a game more than their rivals, could not find a breakthrough at Borussia-Park, while Gladbach also saw key decisions go against them. It was a quiet first half, with neither side able to test the goalkeepers before the break."
"Despite a slow start from Leipzig, they eventually found their rhythm in the second half, but to no avail. They produced 0.91 expected goals (xG) from 20 shots to Gladbach's 0.35 from seven attempts. Raum certainly gave it his all, too. He created the most chances for his side (five), attempted the most crosses (nine), made three clearances, won possession four times and hit the crossbar."
