The match, played on September 21, 2025, saw a strategic shift from both managers, with Kasper Hjulmand‘s substitution of Poku in the 63rd minute proving pivotal.
The draw marks a significant moment for Bayer Leverkusen, as it was the first time in club history they fielded a starting eleven comprised entirely of international players. Despite dominating possession, Leverkusen struggled to break down Gladbach’s newly implemented 3-4-2-1 formation.Gladbach’s polanski responded to the Bremen loss with four changes to the starting lineup,introducing Stöger,Scally,and new signings Castrop and Engelhardt – the latter two making their bundesliga debuts.Early in the match, a potential goal from Castrop was disallowed for offsides following a through-ball from Scally (23′). The roles reversed shortly before halftime,with Scally denied by Leverkusen’s goalkeeper Flekken (40’). Schick missed a key opportunity for Leverkusen with a header in the 9th minute.
Tillman’s winning goal came after a right-sided cross from Poku, initially missed by Schick, but ultimately converted by the 35-million-euro signing – his second goal of the season. The final score reflects a fair result,ending Leverkusen’s winning streak and providing a much-needed boost for Borussia Mönchengladbach.
