Soccer-Late goal gives Gladbach 1-0 victory over Dortmund, lifts them to safety


BERLIN, May ⁠3 (Reuters) - Haris Tabakovic scored in ⁠the 88th minute to give hosts ‌Borussia Moenchengladbach a 1-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Sunday ​that keeps them safe ⁠from relegation with ⁠two games left to play in the ⁠season.

Gladbach ‌are now 11th on 35 points, nine above ⁠the relegation playoff spot.

Dortmund, who are ​second ‌on 67, were toothless throughout and ⁠had ​to wait until first-half stoppage time for their first chance.

The hosts were ⁠more aggressive as they ​looked to make sure of another season of top-flight football, and the ⁠pressure finally paid off when Tabakovic broke through and slotted in for the late winner.

Dortmund have eased ​off the gas ⁠since Bayern Munich secured the league ​title, with just ‌one victory from their ​last four Bundesliga matches.
