Borussia Mönchengladbach secured a dominant 4-1 victory over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, marking their third consecutive home win. Tim Kleindienst played a pivotal role, assisting all four goals scored by Alassane Pléa, Marco Friedl (own goal), Franck Honorat, and Kevin Stöger. The match saw Gladbach capitalize on defensive errors from Bremen, taking a commanding 3-0 lead by halftime. Despite a spirited second-half performance from Bremen, which included a consolation goal from Keke Topp, they could not recover from the early deficit. The win allowed Gladbach to move up to 9th place in the league table, while Bremen suffered their first away defeat of the season. This victory also alleviated some pressure on Gladbach's coach, Gerardo Seoane, following a recent cup exit.
