47' Bayern were rocked by the Gladbach goals before half-time and still appear a little shaky following the restart. Gladbach are in the ascendancy.
46' KICK-OFF: Bayern get us back under way!
Those Hofmann goals make this the first time Neuer, in the Bayern goal, has gone 10 games without a Bundesliga clean sheet.
A strange first half ends as it started: all square. Bayern, having repeatedly conceded first of late, raced into a two-goal lead thanks to a Lewandowski penalty - awarded after Neuhaus' bizarre handball - and Goretzka's blast. But Hofmann twice got in to score at the other end from Stindl passes. It is 2-2 at the break.
45' + 4' HALF-TIME: Borussia Monchengladbach 2-2 Bayern Munich
45' + 4' Zakaria blazes over, but Gladbach are ending the first half firmly on top!
45' + 1' There will be a minimum of three minutes of added time.
45' OFFSIDE? Hofmann has the ball in the net again... but the flag goes up. He looks to be onside, however, and indicates for the VAR to have another look.
43' Both sides are being frustrated when it comes to the final pass. Lewandowski should slip Davies in but cannot, then Hofmann is caught offside. There have been few chances besides the goals, yet we have had three!
40' Since building a rare first-half lead, Bayern have struggled to maintain control of the match. Gladbach are getting opportunities to break more often than Flick would like.
39' Gladbach should do so much better! Neuhaus spreads the ball to Stindl, whose cross is underhit but still reaches Hofmann in the box. Neuer is committed, yet the goalscorer will not shoot from a tight angle and attempts to find Lainer. His pass is poor and Bayern clear.
38' Sommer saves! Sane shoots low and hard from 25 yards, although this looks a routine stop for Sommer. He instead pushes the ball wide for a corner. Gladbach deal with it, though.
32' Goretzka's goal was the 200th Gladbach have conceded to Bayern in the Bundesliga. Against no side have they shipped more.
30' Handball controversy is the name of the game in this first half! Sane controls with his arm as he runs clear and shoots, but the play is called back for offside. A replay suggests he is clearly onside, although the handball, while not indicated by the official, is blatant.
29' Easy pickings for Neuer. A right-wing corner lands on the head of Ginter, but he nods straight at the goalkeeper.
28' Gladbach are not happy as Pavard blocks a cross with his elbow and no penalty is awarded. Unlike with the Bayern penalty, however, the defender's arm is tucked in close to his side. The referee is not interested.
24' Lewandowski is not stopping there! The forward gets to a cross from the right but sends a looping header a long way over the top.
23' The opener was Lewandowski's 20th goal in 15 Bundesliga matches this season. Only Gerd Muller (in 1968-69) has reached that mark in fewer matches.
22' Gladbach are going to have to come out of their shell now. Lainer swings over a cross from the right and Sule does well to get a touch with his thigh to knock the ball back to Neuer.
19' PENALTY! The handball is given! Neuhaus is punished for a foolish error!
18' The referee is going to consult the pitchside monitor.
17' Gladbach could be in trouble... Davies picks off a pass out of defence and nudges the ball on to Lewandowski, yet Neuhaus stretches out his hand and appears to make contact inside the area. This could be a penalty for handball.
16' We are still waiting on a first opening, but Gladbach have come back into the game slightly. Bayern have bossed the possession but are facing as many problems as their opponents.
14' Gladbach are going to have to make the most of their opportunities on the counter! Alaba's slip gifts the ball to Zakaria, but he delays a pass to Embolo and instead finds Stindl, who in turn makes the wrong call and gives possession back to Bayern.
12' Good work from both goalkeepers. Sommer plucks a potentially tricky Kimmich cross from the air, then sets Gladbach away on the attack. Embolo looks for a run in behind, only for Neuer to dart off his line and nod to safety before the offside flag goes up.
10' To give Gladbach their due, they have not yet allowed Bayern to create an opportunity. Costa is closed out on the left and Gladbach break, although their own move also comes to nothing.
7' This game has certainly settled into a pattern. Gladbach do not have possession but are trying to push Bayern back after a couple of nervy early moments when the champions got forward down the right.
5' It is all Bayern so far. Flick's men are happy to keep possession in their own half for now, however.
3' The visitors quickly have Gladbach penned in, with Kramer twice ceding possession when given the chance to clear. Bayern cannot forge an opening on the edge of the box, though.
2' Bayern should not be short of motivation. With Leipzig playing Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, victory would allow the champions to increase their advantage over at least one title rival this weekend.
1' KICK-OFF: Gladbach gets us under way!

Let's get the team news from Borussia-Park...
Opponents Gladbach have joined Bayern in the last 16 of the Champions League but are down in seventh in the domestic league, four points off the pace set by the top four. Victory over Arminia Bielefeld last Saturday ended a four-match winless run in the Bundesliga.
This big fixture gets the weekend started in Germany, with defending champions Bayern looking to increase their two-point advantage over RB Leipzig at the top of the table. Hansi Flick's side have won their past three matches despite trailing in each of them, rallying from 2-0 down at half-time to beat Mainz last time out.
