Borussia Monchengladbach and 10-man Juventus have played out a 1-1 draw in Tuesday night's Champions League Group D clash at Borussia-Park.

The visitors were quickest out of the starting blocks as Patrice Evra pounced on a rebound inside the box after just three minutes but blasted the ball inches above the bar.

Nevertheless, Monchengladbach recovered to take the game to their opponents and were rewarded in the 18th minute when Fabian Johnson latched on to Rafael's precise pass deep inside the box and rifled a low shot into the bottom-left corner.

Juve came within a whisker of equalising in the 26th minute when Paulo Dybala's corner was met by a leaping header from Giorgio Chiellini, which sailed narrowly wide of the left post, though Monchengladbach countered almost immediately with a ferocious shot from Granit Xhaka that flew over the bar.

Nevertheless Massimiliano Allegri's charges were able to reap the rewards from their attacking endeavours when Stephan Lichtsteiner, playing his first game back following his recovery from a heart condition, fired home with a volley on the edge of the box.

The Old Lady, however, suffered a major setback shortly after the restart when midfielder Hernanes was shown a straight red card for a two-footed tackle on Alvaro Dominguez, and from then on Gladbach upped their attacking intent.

Just after the hour Johnson came within a whisker of edging his side back into the lead and adding to his tally after picking up a pass from Oscar Wendt, but his shot from inside the box flashed just over the bar.

Andre Schubert's charges continued to dominate their opponents, who hung on by the skin of their teeth time and time again, most notably when Lars Stindl's 77th-minute close-range header was skilfully palmed away by Buffon.

Thorgan Hazard was next to cause panic in the Juve box when, with just one minute left, he latched on to a pass on the edge of the box and let rip with a vicious shot that the World Cup-winning goalkeeper pushed onto the post and out of danger.

Ultimately Gladbach could not make their man advantage count come the final whistle as the points were shared out, a result that sees the hosts remain bottom of Group D and the Serie A side slip to second behind Manchester City, who are now through to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
