**VfL Wolfsburg Ends Away Winless Streak with Enner Valencia Header Against Borussia Mönchengladbach**

VfL Wolfsburg snapped their away winless streak on Saturday, securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach in a match that was anything but one-sided. The game, played at the Borussia-Park, saw Wolfsburg rise to the occasion and end a frustrating run of six away games without a win.

The match got off to a tentative start, with both teams struggling to impose their rhythm. Mönchengladbach, who have been in strong form recently, looked to control possession early on but repeatedly failed to break down a resilient Wolfsburg defense. The visitors, meanwhile, relied on counterattacks and set-pieces to create chances.

One of those set-pieces proved decisive in the 53rd minute when Enner Valencia, Wolfsburg’s prolific forward, rose highest to head the ball into the top corner. The goal, scored against the run of play, gave Wolfsburg a much-needed lift and marked the end of their away winless streak, which had lasted since a 1-0 loss to RB Leipzig in October.

Despite the victory, Wolfsburg’s performance wasn’t without its challenges. Mönchengladbach had several chances, particularly in the first half, but their finishing lacked precision. Wolfsburg’s defense, led by the experienced pair of Jerome Boateng and Kevin Vogt, stood firm and kept their opponents at bay for large stretches.

The win extends Wolfsburg’s unbeaten run in all competitions to four games and provides a much-needed confidence boost ahead of their next fixtures. For Mönchengladbach, the result will serve as a reminder of the need to improve in front of goal if they are to challenge for a top-four finish this season.

In the end, Wolfsburg’s persistence and ability to take their chances when they mattered most was the difference, as they ended their away drought in style.
