Moenchengladbach book final CL spot

BORUSSIA MOENCHENGLADBACH yesterday capped a successful season by booking a spot in the Champions League, beating Hertha Berlin 2-1 on the final day to finish fourth in the Bundesliga.

Jonas Hofmann tapped in after good work from Breel Embolo as Gladbach controlled the game throughout.

By the 65th minute they had 17 shots compared to Hertha’s one.

The hosts also hit the woodwork twice before Embolo turned scorer from a Hofmann assist after he shook off two markers in the 78th.

Vedad Ibisevic cut the deficit in stoppage time but could not stop Marco Rose’s team from earning their third straight league win, and booking their ticket for the hugely lucrative Champions League group stage for the first time since 2016. — Reuters.
