But the game was tainted by some ugly scenes outside the away end when a dozen yobs were embroiled in a brawl.
Some appeared to shove and kick stewards as well as cops outside the ground.
Police officers then formed a ring around the rowdy fans before they were seen sitting down by the away end in the East Stand.
The authorities then formed a barrier to contain them in the ground.
The incident was filmed by a fan’s phone while watching from the balcony.
The friendly match was attended by a number of families with young children.
They watched an entertaining encounter that saw Gladbach open the scoring on the half-hour mark with Grant-Leon Ranos.
Brentford equalised on 69 minutes with Fabio Carvalho and turned the game on its head just a minute later with Mikkel Damsgaard.
