Borussia Mönchengladbach held to 0-0 by SC Paderborn 07

Borussia Mönchengladbach created the better openings against SC Paderborn 07, but the game finished 0-0 at home on 2026-10-31. It was a flat result for a side that had come in on the back of two consecutive competitive wins, only to leave with a point after missed chances and a cancelled goal.

The chances Gladbach did not take

Robin Hack was involved early and often, and he was one of several players who failed to turn pressure into a goal. Robin Hack had a notable chance without scoring, while Fabio Chiarodia, Lukas Ullrich and Wael Mohya also passed up openings.

The clearest flashpoint came in the 35th minute, when Timo Gerach disallowed Joseph Scally's goal after reviewing the video images. Scally has already scored three Bundesliga goals this season, so this was not just a routine full-back miss. Joseph Scally had also seen his effort ruled out, and Nahuel Noll helped keep the visitors level with three saves.

The goalkeepers held the line

Daniel Batz made four saves and denied Gladbach when they threatened to turn territory into something more. Tom Baack also tested him from a good position in the 27th minute, another moment that summed up the night for Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Alexander Blessin had warned before the game that Paderborn would be an "uncomfortable task" and said they would "stand very compact and defensively stable". The warning proved accurate enough, even if Gladbach still had the better of the chances for long spells. Borussia Mönchengladbach vs SC Paderborn 07 ended scoreless, and Gladbach remain bottom of the Bundesliga after seven matches with three points and a -11 goal difference.
