Borussia Dortmund's quest for an away victory remains unfulfilled after a 1-1 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga. Jamie Gittens scored a brilliant solo goal 20 minutes into the second half, giving Dortmund the lead. However, Kevin Stoger equalised with a penalty six minutes later. Dortmund have only managed two points from six away matches and sit fifth in the league, trailing leaders Bayern Munich by 12 points.

Gladbach, positioned 11th in the Bundesliga with 18 points, ended the match with ten players. Tomas Cvancara, who came on as a substitute in the 89th minute, received two yellow cards within minutes. Despite being down a player, Gladbach nearly secured a win when Robin Hack's shot was tipped onto the crossbar by Dortmund's goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.

Jamie Gittens has been in excellent form, scoring in four consecutive matches across all competitions for Dortmund. He has netted nine goals this season. Despite his efforts, Dortmund remain one of five teams yet to secure an away win in the Bundesliga this season.

Dortmund applied significant pressure towards the end of the game but failed to find another goal. Their inability to secure victories on the road continues to be a concern as they aim to close the gap with Bayern Munich at the top of the table.

The hosts were close to clinching victory with nine minutes left on the clock. However, Gregor Kobel's crucial save kept Dortmund level. The match concluded with Dortmund exerting pressure but unable to break through Gladbach's defence.

Dortmund's ongoing struggle for an away win highlights their challenges this season. Despite individual brilliance from players like Gittens, collective success on unfamiliar grounds remains elusive for Nuri Sahin's team.
