Soccer-Gladbach score last-gasp equaliser at Leverkusen to end goal drought


(Reuters) - Substitute Haris Tabakovic snatched Borussia Moenchengladbach's first goal of the season with a stoppage-time equaliser thatearned them a 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

Tabakovic headed in deep in stoppage time to cancel out MalikTillman's 70th-minute goal for the hosts.

Gladbach, who sacked coach Gerardo Seoane on Monday after their worst start in 34 years following three league games without scoring a goal, had interim coach Eugen Polanski in the dugout.

They did put the ball in the net in the first half but Jens Castrop's sensational shot was ruled out for an offside.

Instead it was Leverkusen who scored in the 70th minute when Tillman tapped in from 10 metres. With time running out Tabakovic rose high to connect with substitute Charles Herrmann's corner for the equaliser that left Leverkusen in 12th place on five points.

Gladbach, who are without a league win in their last 11 matches, including last season, are 17th on two points.

Champions Bayern Munich are top of the table with a maximum 12 points following their 4-1 win at Hoffenheim on Saturday.
