The referee brings a pulsating match to a close. The Manchester City players celebrate what could be a crucial win... and one that never looked likely during a one-sided first half. At Borussia Park it finished Gladbach 1, City 2.
Zabaleta has come on for Sterling for the final few seconds as City look to cling on for a crucial win.
Sommer took a horrible blow to the nose from his back-tracking central defender in the act of making that save. It's a nasty-looking clash, but Gladbach have made all three changes.
Aguero almost wraps up the win with a flicked shot from point-blank range, but the keeper makes a stunning stop with his thigh to deny the striker.
GOOOAAALLL!!! Sergio Aguero tucks the penalty brilliantly into the bottom corner to give City a 2-1 lead.
Penalty! Sergio Aguero brilliantly takes the ball down inside the box and is felled. It's a clear penalty and City will have a golden chance to steal all three points.
There's enough time left for one of these teams to win it. Can either of them take the game right at the death?
City deal with the corner well and clear their lines. The nerves in the City side are quite clear - they know they can't avoid to lose tonight.
A looping ball falls invitingly to Hahn on the edge of the area, but Sagna makes a crucial block to deflect the shot behind.
Nordtveit comes on for the hosts. A defensive midfielder by trade, his job will be to stop De Bruyne from cutting Gladbach open in the remaining minutes.
Neither side are shutting up shop just yet. With the win there for the taking in such a difficult group it's understandable... but defeat would be a disaster.
Hahn thinks he's clean through on goal, but the flag is up and the substitute striker is denied.
De Bruyne tees up Fernandinho, but the Brazilian's drilled effort flies over the bar.
Gladbach are starting to look tired and are struggling to cope with the wave after wave of City attacks. Navas has looked lively on the right since coming on.
Taking off Yaya Toure seems to have made all the difference for City. Since his departure they've had a presence in central midfield and a bit of a shield for that shaky back-four.
Aguero is inches away from getting a crucial touch to a cross that fizzes across the face of goal. City look like a different team since the goal and are bossing the game.
The hosts make a change, replacing Herrmann with Hahn.
