The equalizer for Werder was a co-production of the storm duo that had been so successful recently. Füllkrug put down for Marvin Ducksch, who skilfully let people clap. Füllkrug’s shot from ten meters out was precise, hitting the goal right next to the post. For Füllkrug it was the twelfth goal of the season – and number thirteen followed immediately before the half-time whistle.
In the 45th minute, Bremen’s defensive midfielder Christian Groß sent a cross, and Füllkrug was allowed to head in from eight yards out, but there was no sign of an opponent. Leadership for Werder. Dresden almost equalized before the break, but Julius Kade’s header landed on the bar (45+1).
Königsdörffer has the compensation on the foot
Bremen had more of the game in the second half, but coach Ole Werner’s team hardly created any chances. Instead, Dresden’s strong attacker Königsdörffer caused the greatest excitement.
It was 59 minutes when Königsdörffer capitalized on a mistake by opponent Miloš Veljković and sprinted towards the Bremen goal. His shot from the far corner was good, but not good enough: Werder goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka saved with his foot. It was a narrow success for Werder Bremen.
