The scoreline changed to 1-1, and the match went into halftime with no clear-cut winner.

In the 57th minute, Wolfsburg midfielder Marco Reus delivered a cross from the left side, which was headed back into the box by Jürgen Klinsmann. This time, however, Bensebaini managed to intercept the ball and shoot it past Neuer, giving Mönchengladbach the lead. The scoreline now stood at 2-1 in favor of Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Wolfsburg did not give up easily, though. In the 68th minute, they mounted another attack and found themselves with a chance to equalize. Nils Petersen again had a shot from distance, but this time it was saved by goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen. Despite the miss, the pressure was building on Mönchengladbach.

In the final moments of the game, both teams were scrambling for possession. Finally, in the 85th minute, Wolfsburg got their equalizer. Nils Petersen again had a shot from the edge of the box, and despite being blocked by Bensebaini, he managed to force a save from ter Stegen. With the clock ticking down, the referee blew the whistle and awarded Wolfsburg the point, sending them home with a hard-fought 2-2 draw.

This result leaves both teams with two points from their last two matches, while Borussia Mönchengladbach remains tied with Bayern Munich for second place in the table.
