Herrmann's brace helps Monchengladbach down Leverkusen

Soccer Betting Lines

08/29/2010 - Leverkusen, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of goals from Patrick Herrmann propelled Monchengladbach to a 6-3 win over Bayer Leverkusen in a wild affair at BayArena on Sunday.

Herrmann's opening goal in the 20th minute was canceled out four minutes later by Eren Derdiyok, but goals from Roel Brouwers and Herrmann in the final five minutes of the first half gave the visitors a 3-1 lead at the break.

Juan Arango extended the advantage to 4-1 before Arturo Vidal pulled a goal back from the penalty spot. However, Monchengladbach continued to find the back of the net as Mohamadou Idrissou and Marco Reus scored nine minutes apart to make it 6-2, while Stefan Kiessling scored a consolation goal in the 70th minute.

Idrissou set up the first goal when he stole the ball from Vidal and crossed for Herrmann to redirect past goalkeeper Rene Adler.

Derdiyok equalized four minutes later when he headed home a cross from Gonzalo Castro, but a surge at the end of the first half from Monchengladbach put the team up two goals at the break.

Adler was unable to keep hold of a long-range shot from Thorben Marx, allowing Brouwers to pounce on the rebound, while Herrmann fired home his second goal of the game from just inside the top of the box.

A well-placed free kick from Arango found the upper-right corner of the net from 30 yards, while Leverkusen cut its deficit to 4-2 when Vidal drew a foul on Marx inside the penalty area and converted the subsequent spot kick.

However, the visitors put the result out of reach over the next nine minutes with Idrissou putting a rebound past Adler from Arango's shot and Reus beating the keeper from long range with a powerful left-footed effort.

Kiessling made the most of a mistake by Monchengladbach goalkeeper Logan Bailly one minute later to cap the scoring.

In Sunday's other match, Borussia Dortmund scored three times in the first 37 minutes en route to a 3-1 victory at Stuttgart.
