Borussia Dortmund started energetically at the Signal Iduna Park, but could not convert that into a lead against the PhD student from the north. After a better phase by Werder Bremen, it was the home team again just before half-time that took matters into their own hands, resulting in the 1-0 in the second minute of injury time. It was Julian Brandt who outwitted goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka with his left.
In the second half it was a half hour wait for the second goal, which eventually fell after Dortmund was allowed to take a corner. That was initially eliminated by the Bremen defense, but from the second line it was Raphaël Guerreiro who pulled the trigger and still found the net. Pavlenka saw the ball late: 2-0.
That also immediately seemed to be the final score in Dortmund, until Lee Buchanan gave the visitors hope for a result in the 89th minute. Werder Bremen fully believed in it again and rewarded himself three minutes later with the equalizer via a header from substitute Niklas Schmidt. But that was still not over. In the 95th minute, another substitute, Oliver Burke, completed the miracle. He dealt with Gregor Kobel and gave Werder Bremen another victory in the Bundesliga after 528 days: 2-3.
