Borussia Moenchengladbach goalkeeper Logan Bailly’s own goal handed Kaiserslautern a 1-0 away win in the Bundesliga on Friday.
Kaiserslautern entered the match in good form, having unbeaten in three games, while Moenchengladbach had only lost one of their last four as they aim to try and escape the relegation zone.
But their hopes of survival took a dip with Bailly’s bizarre own goal, which came just after the hour mark.
The Belgian international conceded when he punched Christian Tiffert’s corner into the back of his own net and he was never given a reprieve by his team-mates, who failed to equalise in a frantic ending to the match.
Kaiserslautern’s win sees them climb into 12th and three points above relegation, while Moenchengladbach remain bottom and five points from safety.
