In the surprising 1-0 win in Munich, Weiser became the match winner for the 13th place team with his decisive goal. from Bremen. A week later, Werder coach Ole Werner had to do without his right rail player against SC Freiburg because of muscular problems in the adductor area. Deman moved into the starting eleven and started on the left, Agu took over on the right. Ducksch, on the other hand, returned after being suspended and replaced Woltemade.
For the Freiburg team, who, like SVW, started the new competitive season with four points from two games, the aim at Wohninvest Weserstadion was to stay in touch with the European places and Frankfurt (1-0), who had won against Mainz the day before . Compared to the 3-2 win over Hoffenheim, Gulde was sidelined after yellow-red and the sick Sallai. Kübler and Weißhaupt took over the right side, while Sildillia moved into central defense.
Ducksch hits early from the spot
The game started optimally for Bremen. Agu narrowly missed a cross from Njinmah, who repeatedly sent needles down the left in the first half, in the center, but was hit on the heel by Makengo. With the help of the VAR, Robert Hartmann decided early on to take a penalty, which Ducksch converted to give Bremen an early lead (9th).
Afterwards, Bremen withdrew a little and waited for a counterattack. The sports club took over the game and had a great chance to equalize in the person of Höler, but Zetterer brilliantly parried the Freiburg player’s flying header against the direction of play (19th).
The SCF shouldn’t be able to get much more out of the game in a first half with few chances overall. However, the equalizer was achieved because Deman let the ball run away from Weißhaupt in his own penalty area and then stumbled into the heels of Freiburg, who was on the way to the corner flag. Grifo took the penalty, which was also justified, and scored (28′).
Werder takes an early lead again
Early in the second half, it was Bremen who took the lead again thanks to the strong Njinmah. After a failed clearing attempt by Kübler, Bremen’s attacker got the ball into Schmid’s feet 25 meters in front of the goal in a half-left position, dribbled into the center and hit the bottom left corner against the direction of Atubolu’s run to make it 2-1 (53rd).
SVW had learned from their mistake in the first half and did not retreat again after another early goal. Njinmah came closer again (60th) and Ducksch also became dangerous from a direct corner (67th), while Freiburg struggled to create any danger.
Malatini celebrates after two minutes
Instead, only centimeters were missing from Bremen’s dream decision. Bittencourt won the ball in the center circle, saw that Atubolu was well in front of his goal and tried an artificial shot, but failed to hit the crossbar (82′). But in the third minute of injury time, Bremen’s debutant Malatini, who had only come onto the pitch two minutes earlier, came into play. After a major mistake by Szalai – who was playing for Freiburg for the first time – the Argentine, who is actually at home on the defensive, went around Atubolu and pushed in for the 3-1 decision.
Bremen remained unbeaten in the Bundesliga for the sixth time in a row and moved past Augsburg, Wolfsburg and Heidenheim to ninth place. The Freiburg team are still seventh, but they have to let Frankfurt move away by three points.
Werder continues next Saturday (3:30 p.m.) with the guest game in Mainz. At the same time, SC Freiburg welcomes VfB Stuttgart for the Baden-Württemberg duel.
