Čvančara scores!
Czech striker Tomáš Čvančara rose highest and nodded Hack's cross deftly home to put Gladbach in front with just minutes remaining - much to the delight of the Borussia-Park faithful. Spectacular!

Gladbach laying siege
Camped on the edge of the Union area, the home side are piling the pressure on their visitors, but the Eisernen's steely defence is holding firm.
90'
Added time
There will be eight minutes of added time in the second half.
87'
Another chance for Vertessen
A cross from the right found the Belgian forward but the resulting header was wayward.
86'
Union go within a whisker
Vertessen raced onto a through pass and, fending off the attentions of Itakura, managed an effort on goal... that skidded out off the outside of the upright. So close to what could easily have been a winner!
85'
Deadlocked
Despite their best efforts, neither side seems to be able to break the deadlock in midfield and show some real cutting edge in the final third. Time is running out...
81'
Pléa frustrated
After being dispossessed, the Gladbach forward gave his all to win the ball back and fouled his man in the process. His frustration at the ref's call earned him a yellow card.

78'
Chance for Union
The visitors managed to break down the left, with Vertessen racing into the box only to scuff his shot and send it wide of the post.
74'
Over the top
The freshly subbed Hack looks to chip a through-pass to Ngoumou, but the ball has too much on it and goes out.
69'
Elbow grease
Scally follows Stöger into the book after a stray elbow found Hollerbach's face in a touch-line scramble. Hollerbach receives treatment as play is held up.
67'
Not buying it
Stöger goes into the ref's book for diving as he looked to claim a free-kick on the edge of the area.
64'
Diogo Leites goes down
Union's Portuguese defender Diogo Leite cops a painful knock in the ribs from team-mate Rani Khedira as they looked to shut down a Gladbach counter, but looks good to continue.

Awkward fall for Itakura
Gladbach's Japan defender Ko Itakura fell awkwardly on his left shoulder but seems ok to continue
58'
Chance for Gladbach
Kleindienst managed to get his head to Sander's cross from the left but, lacking power, his effort was little more than a quarter-chance.
55'
Iron grip
Half-time substitute Querfeld tried to hold livewire Pléa back and sees yellow as a result. Union trying hard to pin Gladbach down in their own half.
46'
Second half kicks off
Gladbach will be out to maintain the pressure they applied for much of the first half, while Union will look to recapture the incisive play they showed early.

Chance for Gladbach
Stöger's deep pass finds Pléa, whose low shot is blocked. Ngoumou looks to follow up but is flagged for off-side.

Haberer cops a knock
Play is held up after Union defender Haberer stays down after being clattered into by Pléa as a dangerous Gladbach cross came in.
36'
Ngoumou tries his luck
After some more excellent work from Pléa, Ngoumou cuts in from the left and hoots, but it's a fairly routine save for Rønnow in the end.
32'
Pléa turns on the style
Pléa skins Vogt in midfield and sends a superb through-pass into the area for Kleindienst who, half a yard short, is beaten to the ball by Rønnow.
26'
Huge chance for Stöger
Netz works a one-two with Pléa, breaks down the left and crosses fort he unmarked Stöger, who blazes over.
23'
Kerfuffle in the Union area
Ngoumou crosses, but Union are unable to clear and Scally gets the ball. The full-back is dispossessed, but Netz pounces and fires - only for his shot to lack power and precision.
22'
Gladbach getting into the swing
The opening stages were clearly in the favour of visitors Union, but Gladbach have been pushing their way into the game and looking increasingly dangerous, especially when playmaker Kevin Stöger has time on the ball.
17'
First chance for Gladbach
A well-worked free-kick routine saw Joe Scally cross for Philipp Sanderin the area, but the midfielder's powerful first-time effort flew just over the bar.
11'
Hollerbach again
A fine low cross from Tom Rothe found Hollerbach in the Gladbach area, but Nicolas snaffled up the under-powered volley.
8'
Hollerbach fires wide
Played in down the left, Hollerbach bears down on goal but his close-range effort hits the side netting.
2'
First shot
Union win the ball high up and carve out a chance, but Jeong's effort lacks the power to threaten Moritz Nicolas.

We're under way!
Gladbach won the toss and got things started, kitted out in white while Union sport their changed black away kit.
キックオフ
All set!
We're on the verge of kick-off at Borussia-Park, with the teams taking the field after Gladbach's pre-match anthem rang out through the stands. Here we go!
Contrasting starts
While Union remain undefeated so far this season, their two wins and two draws putting them sixth heading into Matchday 5, Gladbach are under pressure in 14th, with three defeats and one win. Gerardo Seoane's men are also winless in nine home matches stretching back to last season.
If it ain't broke
Union boss Bo Svensson has named an unaltered starting XI following the 2-1 Matchday 4 win over Hoffenheim.
Two changes for Gladbach
Following on from the 2-0 loss to Frankfurt on Matchday 4, Gladbach boss Gerardo Seoane has rung two changes: Philipp Sander for Rocco Reitz in central midfield and Alassane Pléa for Robin Hack on the left flank going forward.

Solid at the back
Gladbach's biggest challenge will be breaking down a backline that has conceded just twice this term. That gives Union the best defence in the Bundesliga so far alongside Leipzig.
Hope for Gladbach?

Strong Union start
The visitors are, alongside Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig, one of just three sides to remain unbeaten across the opening four matchdays. They are unbeaten in six games in all competitions, too, showing they are a tough nut to crack.
Tale of the tape
These two teams have met just 11 times in the Bundesliga yet, despite Gladbach's prestige, Die Eisernen have the upper hand. Die Fohlen have managed to beat the side from the capital just once in the top flight, and have failed to do so in any of the previous eight encounters. That sole victory came four years ago.
Home discomforts
Gladbach are winless in their last seven home Bundesliga matches, going back to a 5-2 victory against Bochum on 24 February.
