DESERVED WIN FOR GLADBACH!
Gladbach win in the Bundesliga for the first time under Adi Hütter. It's a deserved three points for the Foals, who carried the greater threat in front of goal, even if Lars Stindl's opener took a hugely fortuitous deflection.

NEARLY A FOURTH!
The introduction of Herrmann has made all the difference for Gladbach. He gets in behind again to feed Plea. The angle of the pass denies him a shooting opportunity, but he has the wherewithal to lay it off to Benes, who's denied at point-blank range by Ortega.
78'
CH-CH-CH-CHANGES
Stindl's withdrawal is met with rapturous applause - he's set a real captain's example for the Foals. Breel Embolo makes his first appearance of the season following injury, while Messrs Serra and Krüger are on for Bielefeld, with industrious duo Klos and Okugawa making way.

GLADBACH ADD A THIRD!
Ortega's beaten again as Gladbach extend their lead. Denis Zakaria starts the move in his own half by winning back possession out on the right-hand side. He powers over halfway and releases the ball to Stindl, who helps it on to Herrmann. The cross is low and straight to the feet of Zakaria, who fires into the back of the net from 18 yards.

LASME ON
Bryan Lasme, who set a new season speed record last time out, replaces Wimmer. Positive change from Frank Kramer, with Bielefeld chasing the game.

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC!
Gladbach retake the lead! Zakaria bursts forward and lays the ball off for overlapping substitute Patrick Herrmann, who clips a cross towards the penalty spot. Lars Stindl arrives bang on cue to direct an unstoppable header beyond Stefan Ortega.

YELLOW PERIL
Joe Scally is shown the first yellow card of his Bundesliga career following a late challenge on Wimmer.

MIDFIELD CHANGE
Florian Neuhaus, who's had a quiet game by his standards, is replaced in midfield by Laszlo Benes.

BIELEFELD PRESSURE
Bielefeld go close to taking the lead as Preitl’s cross is deflected into the side netting by Beyer. Wimmer connects with the ensuing corner, but hits his effort straight at Sommer. The Gladbach stopper is on hand again to thwart Schöpf soon after. Arminia are picking up all the second balls right now.

NETZ CAN'T CONTINUE
Cramp gets the better of young Gladbach debutant Luca Netz. The lightning-quick Patrick Herrmann is on in his stead, with Joe Scally switching over to the left.

HALF CHANCES
Gladbach shift the ball really well in front of the Bielefeld goal. The move ends with Neuhaus teeing up Plea, whose fierce shot is deflected wide. Ortega punches clear the ensung set-piece, kick-starting a counter in the process. Okugawa squeezes the ball forwards - it's floated over to Klos, who curls over from 20 yards. That's what we like to see!
46'
WOLF ON
Jonas Hofmann makes way for Gladbach, with Hannes Wolf joining the action. Hofmann played three times for Germany during the September break, as a substitute against Liechtenstein and a starter against Armenia and Iceland. He operated at right-back for the national team, too, so could certainly do with a breather.
Kick-off!

BIELEFELD ARE LEVEL!
Okugawa races through following a quick turnover in midfield. His first shot is saved by Sommer, but he tucks in the follow-up. It's initially ruled out for offside, before VAR intervenes. All square at the break!

HOFMANN!
Gladbach stretch Bielefeld out wide with Joe Scally for the first time. The American's cross flashes across the danger zone for Hofmann, who toes the bouncing ball over. Tough one to take on, but the right idea.

GOAL RULED OUT!
Plea has the ball in the net for Gladbach, but it's chalked off for offside. Hofmann really didn't need to be so selfless - he could have taken the shot on - and probably scored - himself.

GLADBACH PROBING
The Foals have started well into proceedings. They're seeing plenty of the ball as Luca Netz miscues from range. Bielefeld very much on the back-foot.
