"Bayern Munich beat last placed Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-0 in the Bundesliga's Matchday 8, a game in which it took Bayern longer than expected to go up in the scoring board, scoring the opening goal in the 64th minute. Die Fohlen had been one man down for a while, though, as a red card had been shown to Mönchengladbach's Jens Castrop. The midfielder had been given a yellow card after a late, hard tackle on Bayern's winger Luis Díaz in the 19th minute."
"On Monday, the German Football Association informed of the punishment given to the 22-year-old, who will be suspended for two games for "violent play." With an international break scheduled for November 10th through the 18, Castrop will be first eligible again until the 22nd of November away match against Heidenheim, making it almost a month without Bundesliga action for the Mönchengladbach player."
"In this instance, the animosity in the board room might be greater than what we will see on the pitch as Bayer Leverkusen will make the trip to the Allianz Arena to square off with league leaders. While Bayer Leverkusen has made a strong turnaround from where it was at the beginning of the season, this group is still far from Xabi Alonso's group of "wonder boys", who won the Bundesliga two years ago."
