BERLIN (AP) Promising midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud scored one and set up another Sunday as Borussia Moenchengladbach boosted its Champions League qualification hopes with a 3-1 win over Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.
`Gladbach got off to a great start with Oscar Wendt forcing an own goal from Jeremy Toljan in the seventh minute.
The 20-year-old Dahoud made it 2-0 before the break. Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann was unable to hold onto Raffael's effort and Andre Hahn pounced to set up Dahoud for a tap-in.
Andrej Kramaric pulled one back in the 54th, but Dahoud won the ball off Tobias Strobl and set up Hahn to seal it nine minutes later.
`Gladbach moved one point behind Hertha Berlin in the last Champions League qualification spot with three games remaining.
Eintracht Frankfurt plays Mainz later.
