Gladbach’s Seoane praises efficiency, Bremen’s Werner criticized Defensive behavior
The “foals” get all the chances with the renewed away thread in the race for the European Cup places. “We were very clear in our game, with a good defensive appearance“Gladbach’s coach Gerardo Seoane was happy in the sports show interview.”We had difficult ten minutes before half -time. In the second half we came to our line and – also through our efficiency – were able to drive home a nice victory. “
“With a good morale and the right quality we put in 2: 2“, said Werder coach Ole Werner after the game.”If you want to summarize the game, you have to say that we made it too easy for the opponent have defended too badly. In terms of opportunities, we were not the worse team today.“Werder remains in the table with 33 points.
Gladbach’s Pléa early
The initial phase belonged to the Gladbachers. Before the game really started, referee Timo Gerach pointed to the point for the first time. Milos Veljkovic had not done well against Gladbach’s Robin Hack and brought the Gladbacher down with a goal on the foot. Pléa took care of the matter and converted safely.
And Gladbach stayed on: the “foals” were the game -determining team, Werder hardly found in. After a neatly played counterattack, it was again Pléa who shot a flank from Hack Volley on the goal. Goalkeeper Michael Zetterer came to the ball, but could not prevent the impact – 0: 2 from a Werder view.
Direct free kick goal by Bremen’s Schmid
But the Bremen defended themselves. Romano Schmid succeeded in direct free kick after Gladbach’s goalkeeper Jonas Omlin had not optimally positioned his wall (39.). Justin Njinmah awarded the great equalizer in the fast -paced final phase of the first half, but Werder stayed on, put a lot of pressure at the end of the first round, driven by the lit Weser Stadium.
In added time, Lukas Ullrich went a little too energetic in the duel with Bremen’s Issa Kaboré, after VAR intervention, Gerach gave the second penalty of the game. Silva converted in the middle and half -high to 2-2, the comeback was perfect.
Hack and Pléa deliver again
Anyone who expected Werderans, who pushed the lead with a tailwind, were disappointed. Rather, the Gladbacher combined worth seeing, Hack played Pléa with one-touch slot passport-and the Frenchman stayed cool in front of Zetterer, scored the third from twelve meters with a low shot.
Bremen was challenged again, the Werner-Elf delivered again. Jens Stage failed with his header on the latte (62nd), Schmid (62nd) and Bittencourt (79th) a little too high from a distance. The hosts have now checked the game and started, but top -class players did not jump out.
Instead, Gladbach struck again – Hack and Pléa were involved again. After Hack’s play, Pléa gave the left edge of the penalty area to the edge of the five, where small service sparkled the ball into the goal for decision. The day ended unfavorably for the national player: after an unnecessary foul in injury time, small service saw yellow-red. With the decision he agreed anything but, but the three points were also crucial for him in the end: “You can’t have everything, in the end it is important that we bleed away here today. “
