After seven points from three games, Werder Bremen conceded a 1: 3 (0: 2) defeat against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. The record champions clearly showed the green-whites their limits.
After the 1-1 draw in the first half of the season, the Weser had the slightest hope of another surprise. But coach Florian Kohfeldt’s team was as far away from the first win against the record champions in almost 13 years in the Bremen rain on Saturday as the lower reaches of the Weser from the Isar. It has done this 110 times Bundesliga duel between the traditional clubs from the north and south of the republic has taken place so far – more often than any other pairing. For Werder there are now 58 defeats.
“The match plan was to be a little lower,” said Kevin Möhwald. “But we lacked the conviction to make it into the last third. He and his colleagues were aware that you had to” suffer more often “against Bayern:” Clean your mouth, carry on, next week it will go on. “
Goretzka and Gnabry set the course
As in the first leg, when this move worked so well, Kohfeldt had again hired Ömer Toprak as “chain dog” for Robert Lewandowski. With a grip in the face, after which the striker had to be treated briefly on the eye, the Bremen defense chief gained respect after a few seconds. But Bayern are not dependent on the Poles for scoring goals. Thomas Müller extended a corner from Joshua Kimmich. Leon Goretzka, friendly escorted by Maximilian Eggestein, headed 1-0 for the guests (22nd).
After that, the Munich team took full control of the game. Even at the 2-0, the green-whites were only present as extras – amazed at how Müller stopped the ball in the air with his chest and pushed it into Serge Gnabry’s barrel with a dreamlike security. The ex-Bremer could not be asked twice from the left-hand position: 2-0 after 35 minutes.
Lewandowski hits aluminum twice and then makes it 3-0
Kohfeldt had four changes in the starting line-up after Victory in Bielefeld on Wednesday want to bring freshness to his team. However, even in the second half it was only enough to start sporadic, hardly relief-creating trips to the Bayern-Tor. Even the increasingly stronger Lewandowski could hardly hold the Bremen defense. At first it was thanks to a good deal of luck and a little Werder goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka that the Pole did not get the ball into the goal. Post (54th), crossbar (58th) and Pavlenka with one-armed excavator insert (66th) stood in the way of this request. With a comparatively ridiculous goal, the top scorer in the Bundesliga increased his hit account to 32 (67th).
Filling jug limits the damage
For the hosts, it was only about damage control. Kohfeldt had made a three-man change after a good hour. That didn’t change the balance of power on the pitch. The feeling of not being able to do anything that afternoon had long since gained the upper hand among the green-whites. Lewandowski hit the aluminum a third time (78th). He alone could have filled the half dozen. Instead, Werder scored the consolation goal. After a counterattack, the substitute Niclas Füllkrug exploited the preparatory work of Milot Rashica (86th).
In a week’s time, Wolfsburg will be visiting the Weser Stadium. The Lower Saxony warmed up for the north duel in the 5-0 win against Schalke.
