Borussia Monchengladbach 2-1 Bayern Munich: 5 Hits and Flops as Bavarians fail their big test | Bundesliga 2019-20

Hit - Ramy Bensebaini

Ramy Bensebaini

The Algerian footballer has not featured regularly in the team this season after joining the side in the summer. This was only his 5th start in the Bundesliga, as Bensebaini had been warming the bench for the majority of the season. However, he had displayed a knack of scoring goals already, picking up his first for the club against Werder Bremen, a game where he picked up 2 yellow cards and got his marching orders.

After serving a suspension against Union Berlin, the Algerian was back in the team against FC Freiburg, helping his team secure a win. Against Bayern Munich too, he started in the left-back position and made a telling contribution in the game.

After spending the majority of the half dealing with Bayern pressure, Bensebaini watched his team go behind in the 49th minute. However, he inspired his team to muster a comeback in the game. The Algerian started by scoring the equalizer in the 60th minute, sending a fierce header from a corner into the back of the net. After Monchengladbach won a penalty in the dying minutes of the game, Bensebaini took the responsibility himself and tucked in the winner.

The Algerian managed 3 shots in the game, 2 of which were on target. He had 53 touches of the ball and attempted just 20 passes. However, his contributions in front of goal mattered the most at the end of the day.
