Borussia Mönchengladbach lost 1-2 at home to Hoffenheim on Sunday 18 October, on matchday six. Der Spiegel reported the score. Bundesliga.com and kicker confirmed it. Gladbach still have no points after six games. It is six defeats from six, in Alexander Blessin’s first home match as coach.

Bambasé Conté opened in the 11th minute, from an Alexander Prass pass. Wael Mohya, 17, equalised in the 49th, after a move involving Isac Lidberg and Florian Neuhaus. Prass scored the 2-1 in the 54th, after Adam Hložek’s flick. The first half also had Fisnik Asllani’s free-kick against the bar.

Blessin changed three starters. Zento Uno made his Bundesliga debut, alongside Fabio Chiarodia and Mohya. Hoffenheim, under Christian Ilzer, brought in Prass among others, for his first league start since April. Prass was man of the match: assist and goal.

After the break Gladbach wanted a penalty when Oliver Baumann caught Kevin Diks in the face; the referee did not give it. Hoffenheim hit the post through Hložek. Moritz Nicolas kept the score close. At the interval the hosts heard whistles toward the dressing room, then encouragement after the restart. They did not get a point.

kicker notes that Hoffenheim had come in on four straight defeats in all competitions. The win lifts them from the bottom. Gladbach play at Stuttgart on Friday. One match does not rewrite the table, but six rounds without a point is a league figure, not an impression.
