Gladbach earns first Bundesliga goal under interim coach with late Leverkusen draw

Borussia Mönchengladbach ended their goal drought and earned a crucial point with a stoppage-time equalizer by substitute Haris Tabakovic in a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. This goal, Gladbach's first of the season, came under interim coach Eugen Polanski following the recent sacking of Gerardo Seoane after a poor start to the campaign. Despite a strong start and a disallowed goal for offside by Jens Castrop, Gladbach had struggled to score in their last 11 league matches. Leverkusen took the lead in the 70th minute through Malik Tillman, who volleyed in from close range after a cross from Ernest Poku. The match was tightly contested, with both teams showing moments of attacking promise, but it was Tabakovic's stoppage-time header from a corner that secured the draw. The result leaves Gladbach in 17th place with two points while Leverkusen sits 12th with five points, with Bayern Munich topping the table after their recent dominant win.
