Borussia Monchengladbach edged out Bundesliga’s bottom side Mainz 05 with a narrow victory. The match was settled by a single, unfortunate own goal, which proved to be the only difference between the two teams in a tightly contested affair.
The result compounds the misery for Mainz, who remain without a win and stuck at the foot of the table. Meanwhile, the three points provide a welcome lift for Gladbach as they look to improve their position in the league standings.
