Silas Wamangituka was the celebrated man at VfB Stuttgart. The attacker had decided the game in Bremen with a double pack. For his second goal, however, there was yellow and the wrath of the opponent.
“That was disrespectful,” Davie Selke scolded after the final whistle. “The boy plays a good game, he scores two goals. He should just push the ball in after such an individual mistake from us and be happy about his second goal and not run around like anyone else. “
It was also the frustration over the 1: 2 (0: 2) against VfB Stuttgart, which in the words of Werder’s striker resonated immediately after the final whistle. The action by Silas Wamangituka, who had decided the game with his two goals for the Swabians, was displeased on Bremen’s side, regardless of the result “unsporting”, according to the Bremen accusation.

After a coordination error between Ömer Toprak and Jiri Pavlenka, the Stuttgart attacker was able to conquer the ball and ran alone and unrestricted towards the Bremen goal. Instead of pushing the ball into the goal, the 21-year-old waited to graduate and let some time pass in the final minute. Wamangituka waited inches from the goal line.
Referee Frank Willenborg also found it unsportsmanlike. The yellow card could not ultimately matter to the Stuttgart. The game was decided, even if the angry Selke still scored the connecting goal (90 + 3) for Werder.
“We put pressure on. It was only a matter of time before the ball fell in, “said the Joker, describing the situation up to the 0: 2:” Extremely annoying that we are giving up the game. “
Chong’s mistake is decisive
Bremen had drawn five times in the last six games, and VfB had four draws from five games. And the defensive opponents also neutralized each other in a direct duel. The fact that the people from Stuttgart cheered in the end was due to an overly motivated boarding of Werder’s Tahith Chong.
Werder got off to a better start and through Yuya Osako had a great opportunity to hit the target early. The Japanese had a free shot in the penalty area after strong work by Joshua Sargent, but shot over it. The Bremer remained dominant, but lacked determination and were punished. After half an hour there was a penalty for VfB. Chong hit Wataru Endo on the foot: a striker foul in his own penalty area. Silas Wamangituka converted to the Stuttgart lead (30th).
So far, the perceived values were right at both clubs, Werder and the promoted team had celebrated a decent start to the season, but were only able to achieve a draw in the end. “Both teams were very stable – until they lost last week,” said Florian Kohfeldt, emphasizing the parallels: “But neither has won for a long time.” VfB had been waiting for a win since October 17th, Werder had been for more than two months.
For the end of the series in Bremen, it took two hits, but the goal had taken the Bremer away. After an hour with Davie Selke and Nick Woltemade, Kohfeldt brought freshness and size to the attack. At VfB, however, the defense held, while Wamangituka made the perfect victory on the other side (90th + 1).
“It was pure time play, tactical behavior”, apologized his coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, “he is a very shy boy.” Kohfeldt saw it differently: “It was clearly unsporting. But he’s a young player. Everything is good and forgotten. “
