Bayern rocks Gladbach 3-0 – red card and missed penalty!

An exciting Bundesliga duel took place on October 25, 2025 in Mönchengladbach, where Borussia Mönchengladbach met FC Bayern Munich. The encounter started with a 15-minute delay due to traffic problems with the Bayern bus. Despite the difficulties, the record champions showed that they are in top form and won the game 3-0.

The hosts started well and offered a solid defensive performance, but were hardly able to make any impact offensively. In the 19th minute, however, things took a decisive turn: Jens Castrop was shown a red card after a foul and from then on allowed his team to operate outnumbered. This early measure was to have bitter consequences, as Bayern now had every opportunity to dominate the game. The first half ended in a goalless draw, which was a success for Gladbach.

Bavaria's breakthrough

The second half brought the redeeming goal for Munich. Joshua Kimmich cracked Gladbach's defense in the 64th minute and made it 1-0. Just four minutes later, Raphael Guerreiro added – 2-0 for Bayern! Lennart Karl, who had already impressed in the Champions League game against Bruges, topped it all off in the 81st minute by making it 3-0, a real trick.

Although Bayern clearly dominated, there were also bright spots for Gladbach. Kevin Stöger missed a penalty in the 75th minute that hit the post - bitter for the home team, who have not been able to win so far this season and are now stuck at the bottom of the table.

Outlook for the upcoming games

With this victory, Bayern Munich remains unbeaten and leads the table with 13 wins from 13 competitive games. Next Wednesday the team awaits 1. FC Köln in the Allianz Arena at home. Gladbach, on the other hand, has to prove itself in the DFB Cup on Tuesday against Karlsruher SC. Coach and sports director, Max Eberl, emphasized the need for respect and patience in the game, while Gladbach player Yannik Engelhardt described the team's outnumbered performance as “uplifting”.

Bayern's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is on the bench because of a red card in the DFB Cup and is replaced by Jonas Urbig. Another shocking moment for Bayern was a possibly normal goal from Harry Kane that was disallowed for offside. Despite these little things, FC Bayern Munich remains “highly popular” and shows why it is considered one of the best German clubs.
