BAYERN Munich's Bundesliga comeback suffered a setback when it drew 3-3 at Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday, only avoiding defeat thanks to an 84th-minute equalizer from Philipp Lahm.
With only three outfield players on the bench, injury-hit Bayern looked on its way to victory when it rallied to lead 2-1 at halftime thanks a Mario Gomez goal and a Bastian Schweinsteiger penalty.
With a stunning 79 percent possession in the first half, Bayern could have added more goals as it seeks to climb up the table after a bad start.
But with just 16 points from 11 matches, the Bavarians are down in ninth, trailing leader Borussia Dortmund, which was visiting Hanover 96 yesterday, by nine points. Mainz 05 lost a chance to go top for 24 hours at least when it was beaten 0-1 at SC Freiburg.
"We gave away a certain win in just 10 minutes (in the second half)," said Bayern coach Louis van Gaal.
Despite Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben and captain Mark van Bommel still out injured, Bayern looked to have enough firepower against bottom-placed Borussia. But in a frantic second half, 'Gladbach, transformed by the introduction of Brazil-born Belgian Igor de Camargo, outplayed the visitors.
Marco Reus combined well with the Belgian to level in the 56th and the roles were reversed four minutes later as de Camargo fired the hosts into the lead after Reus sent a pin-point through ball with defender Daniel van Buyten a step too late.
Lahm, who this week agreed to stay on at the champion until 2016, equalized with a well-taken chip from the right to take some pressure off van Gaal, following his squabble with club boss Uli Hoeness over the team's performance.
