The Bremen women were able to thank her goalkeeper Livia Peng on Monday evening. Only through her furious defense against Hoffenheim was a tight victory.
At some point you couldn’t get along on Monday evening. The Hoffenheim women brought the shot to the Bremen Gate dangerously – but again and again and again Werder’s goalkeeper Livia Peng parried everything that came towards her. It just couldn’t be better.
The 850 spectators, who witnessed this Bundesliga game under floodlights in the stadium 11, celebrated Peng for every parade with speech choirs. No question about who the player of the evening was here. In the end, the Swiss fought furiously nine shots on goal and was Werder’s rescuer of a narrow and happy 1-0 victory.
Werderans offensive too harmless
Because out of the game there was little for the Bremen women, they were far too harmless against the table sevenths from Hoffenheim. And these had to be more annoyed about their exploitation of opportunities. Without Peng it would have been a win for the TSG, but it remained open with 0-0 until the final quarter of an hour.
But suddenly the penalty whistle sounded in the 77th minute. The Hoffenheimer Selina Cerci had brought Verena back – penalty for the Bremen women. And Larissa Mühlhaus did not torch for long, she sovereignly sank the ball in the bottom left in the corner. 1-0 for Werder, shock rigid at TSG. Routed football world in 11th place.
Werder elf out of nowhere
Happy leadership, happy Bremeners: Larissa Mühlhaus (2nd from left) converted the penalty to the 1-0 lead for Werder.
The Werderans now defended this happy leadership in the collective, everyone helped, and Peng again fought two top -class goal opportunities – but the Swiss caught the ninth of the TSG in added time. Cerci hit Peng unhappily with his foot on her head when she wanted to clarify on the ground.
The Bremen goalkeeper was treated longer, but it did not continue. Peng was finally led by two supervisors. A bitter end of a Swiss gala evening. After the final whistle, Peng crouched on the sideline with an ice cream bag on his head and the fans gave her thunderous cheers again.
