Just three minutes later, Gladbach took the lead in the simplest fashion, with Nico Elvedi heading in a Lars Stindl corner.
With Union at risk of a second loss in a row, manager Urs Fischer brought on the cavalry, making five changes in a 10-minute period to try and get at least a point out of the match.
The changes worked, with Kevin Behrens heading in the equaliser just five minutes after being brought onto the field.
With the home fans in full voice, Union pushed for a winner and thought they had claimed the three points in the 87th minute, but Christopher Trimmel's goal was ruled out by VAR.
The home fans did not need to wait long however, with midfielder Jamie Leweling crossing for Doekhi to head home with the last touch of the match.
"We did not give up and we believed in ourselves," Fischer told DAZN.
"It was a fantastic second half."
A disappointed Gladbach coach Daniel Farke said: "At the Alte Foersterei you need to stay awake -- and to concede a late goal in this fashion, is difficult to bear."
Later on Sunday, Freiburg leapfrogged Borussia Dortmund into third with a 2-0 win away against Schalke thanks to two goals from Italian midfielder Vincenzo Grifo.
Usually a free-kick specialist, Grifo scored a superb open play goal in first-half injury time, before adding a second from the penalty spot in the 61st minute.
