BERLIN, Feb. 24-- Monchengladbach return to winning ways after beating newly promoted Hannover 1-0 meanwhile Freiburg held Hoffenheim to a 1-1 draw at the 24th round in Bundesliga on Saturday. Borussia Monchengladbach ended their four-game losing streak after Christoph Kramer's second-half winner secured all three points against Hannover, who suffered their eighth loss of the season. The "Foals' started highly motivated and assumed control from the kick off as Lars Stindl and Thorgan Hazard came close in the opening period. As the match progressed, Hannover gained a foothold into the game but neither Salif Sane nor Ihlas Bebou were able to beat Monchengladbach's well-positioned defence for the opener. After the restart, Hannover almost broke the deadlock but unmarked Bebou squandered a golden chance from very close range by header with 52 minutes into the encounter. The game turned into a lively encounter with chances at both ends of the pitch as Jonas Hofmann rattled the bar only ten minutes later before Kramer tested Hannover goalkeeper Philipp Tschauner from close range. However, Tschauner was hapless moments later after Kramer controlled Stindl's pass and volleyed home from the edge of the box into the top left corner to mark the opener in the 72nd minute. Kramer ended Monchengladbach's 431-minute goal drought to secure all three points on the road as Dieter Hecking's men held firm to wrap up the 10th win of the season. |
