Gladbach spoil Hasenhuttl home debut as Wolfsburg coach

Rocco Reitz struck late as Borussia Monchengladbach came from behind to beat Wolfsburg 3-1 in the Bundesliga, spoiling Ralph Hasenhuttl’s home debut as coach.

It was Hasenhuttl’s second game as Wolfsburg coach after taking over from the fired Niko Kovac. He started with a win but Sunday’s game saw the return of the misfortune that plagued his predecessor.

Ridle Baku got Wolfsburg off to a fine start in the seventh minute, but Gladbach emerged with determination after the break and were duly rewarded when Ko Itakura equalised with a deflected shot in the 52nd and Nathan Ngoumou scored six minutes later.

Reitz capitalised on a Wolfsburg mistake to seal the win in the 88th with a precise shot from Tomas Cvancara’s cross.

Some Wolfsburg supporters reacted with whistles at full time with Wolfsburg five points above the relegation zone and six rounds remaining.

Hoffenheim substitute Ihlas Bebou scored in the final minute — three minutes after going on — to seal a 3-1 win against Augsburg in the early game.
