Gladbach frustrated after victory denied against Leipzig
MNCHENGLADBACH, Germany (AP) --- Borussia Mnchengladbach rued the video
referee as two key decisions went against it during a 0-0 draw at home to
second-placed Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Friday.
There were no shots on target in a tepid first half that both sides will want
to forget but Gladbach pushed forward soon after the break.
Franck Honorat had the ball in the net two minutes into the second half but the
home fans' celebrations were cut short when VAR disallowed the goal for the
slimmest of offside decisions.
Twenty minutes later the home crowd was livid again when a penalty decision was
revoked after the referee pointed to the spot following Willi Orbn's tackle on
Shuto Machino.
Leipzig's best chance came 10 minutes from time but David Raum hit the bar when
clear on goal.
The result brought Gladbach's three-game winning streak to an end and left it
in 11th place.
Leipzig remained in second and cut the gap with Bayern to five points but the
reigning champion has a game in hand against lowly St. Pauli on Saturday.
It was the seventh consecutive Friday night fixture in which Gladbach has
failed to win.
