Borussia Mönchengladbach held to a goalless draw at home by SC Paderborn 07
Neither side could break through at the Borussia-Park: Mönchengladbach 0-0 Paderborn ends a run of six straight defeats for the hosts without lifting them off the bottom of the table.
Borussia Mönchengladbach's search for consistency produced a goalless draw at home to SC Paderborn 07, a result that stops the bleeding without doing much to fix the underlying problem. Neither side could find a way through in a match with few clear chances at either end.
It is the first time all season Gladbach have kept a clean sheet, after conceding in every one of their first seven matches. Paderborn, for their part, were happy enough to leave with a point on the road after their own recent form had been patchy.

A point that ends a losing streak
Gladbach arrived on the back of six consecutive league defeats, broken only by a surprise 3-2 win away at VfB Stuttgart the previous weekend. A point against Paderborn keeps that mini-revival going in the loosest possible sense — still bottom of the table, but at least not losing. It is the first time since matchday 1 that Gladbach have gone back-to-back matches without a defeat.
What's next
Mönchengladbach stay bottom of the Bundesliga table, now on 4 points from eight games. Paderborn's point moves them to 9, still in the lower half but clear of the relegation play-off place for now.
