With both coming off European matches, fireworks were to be expected in a major match between leaders Borussia Monchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt. A 4-2 thriller ensued that will be remembered as a match of the season.<\/p>\n
The Foals made major moves in the off-season and with Marco Rose at the helm the new style Monchengladbach were able to find two goals in the first half to give off the vibe of a league leader. Eintracht was able to pull goals back twice to be responded by Gladbach. An end to end match that any fan would enjoy.<\/p>\n
Revierderby is always a spicy affair and when both teams have a lot riding on the result it matters even more than local bragging rights. While a 0-0 result, much can be gained from this.<\/p>\n
Borussia Dortmund was favored coming in only slightly and yet they were the more disappointing. For Schalke, their gradual progression as a squad under David Wagner has turned a team that was nearly relegated into a challenger. While no goal scorer was involved up top, the Royal Blues were the more dangerous side.<\/p>\n
