September 28, 2024, Borussia Mönchengladbach played against Union Berlin at home. Borussia Mönchengladbach had suffered two consecutive defeats before this game and the team was in poor form. On the other hand, Union Berlin had 2 wins and 2 draws in the Bundesliga since the start of the season and had not lost. In this game, Borussia Mönchengladbach was united and resisted the opponent's multiple attacks. Čvančara scored the winning goal in the stoppage time, achieving a precious victory.
Tomáš Čvančara's late header gave Borussia Mönchengladbach a dramatic 1-0 win over Union Berlin, ending their seven-month run without a home win in the Bundesliga.
The match started with Union Berlin looking more like they meant business, with Benedict Hollerbach forcing an early save from Moritz Nicolas. The visitors kept up the pressure, with Hollerbach coming close again in the 11th minute. However, Gladbach grew into the game, with Philipp Sander just missing the target in the 17th minute.
It was clear that the home side was gaining control of the game (they had 61% possession), but both teams were creating chances. Gladbach's Kevin Stöger came close in the 26th minute, while Alassane Pléa's influence grew, creating a number of chances for his teammates. Union kept up the pressure on the counter-attack, with their pace causing problems for the opposition, but the first half ended goalless.
In the second half, both managers made some tactical adjustments. Union's Bo Svensson brought on forward Yorbe Vertessen, while Gladbach's Gerardo Seoane responded by introducing midfielders Robin Hack and Rocco Reitz. The game became more tense as both sides realised how important it was not to concede.
It looked like it was going to end in a draw, but then, in the 86th minute, Union's Vertessen hit the post. This gave Gladbach a boost, and their efforts paid off in the final moments. Substitute Tomáš Čvančara rose to meet Robin Hack's cross, sending a powerful header past Frederik Rønnow in the 96th minute. The goal delighted the Borussia-Park crowd and secured a crucial home win for Gladbach.
