The shock of the 21st day of the German championship, Bundesliga, opposed the club of Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayern Munich.
Building on their prestigious victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, the Bavarians were on a trap trip against the team of Algerian international Ramy Bensebaini.
Thus, not being afraid, the Gladbach team pressed from the start of the match. A pressure that cost the expulsion of Bayern defender Upamecano, when the match was only in its 8th minute. Reduced to 10, the Munich team conceded the first goal of the match in the 13th minute.
However, in the 35th minute, Bayern Munich managed the equalizer. End of the first period on the neutral score of 1-1. Back from the locker room, the Gladbach team scored their second goal in the 55th minute.

Offensively, the Algerian defender, Ramy Bensebaini, missed a golden opportunity to widen the gap. This will be done following the goal of the French striker, Marcus Thuram, in the 84th minute.
Towards the end of the match, the Bavarians managed to close the gap. A reduction of no importance since the match was coming to an end.

For this confrontation against the Bavarian giant, the Algerian left side signed a good performance in the image of his team which was sharp, realistic in front of the opposing goal and seized the majority of the opportunities it had. The Munich club risks losing its leadership if the Union Berlin team wins on Sunday.

Premier League: Manchester City hooked without Mahrez

An equalizer that took the teammates of the Algerian international, Riyad Mahrez (left on the bench for this meeting), from first place in the Premier League. A place that the London club Arsenal quickly took over after its setback against these same Cityzens.
Indeed, earlier in the afternoon, the Gunners managed to get rid of the Aston Villa team with the score of 4-2. A victory that revives the race for the title more tight than ever on English soil.
