Borussia Moenchengladbach's Raffael scored twice to secure a shock 2-0 win at Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich, who suffered their first home league loss in almost a year. The Brazilian beat keeper Manuel Neuer with a half-volley against the run of play and added a second in the 77th on the break as the Bavarians were caught searching for an equaliser as Gladbach stay on track for a Champions League spot.
The win keeps Gladbach firmly in third place on 47 points leaving Bayern, who have now lost twice in the league this term, 10 points clear at the top after second-placed VfL Wolfsburg's 1-1 draw at Mainz 05.
After six straight league wins, the defeat was Bayern's first league loss in Munich since April 2014 and delayed coach Pep Guardiola's 50th Bundesliga win.
"We need to analyse the game and aim to get back to winning ways after the international break," Guardiola, who still has the highest win ratio after 60 league games at Bayern, told reporters.
