Nothing “Bayern-Jäger” |
Bitter slap for Werder
They could have overtaken Bayern and were on their way to the European Cup. Instead, Werder suffered a bitter 2-0 defeat against Mainz at home.
Bitter home waddle for Werder!
Bremen coach Ole Werner: “We are disappointed that we didn’t show the performance that we had planned, especially in the second half.”
The guests from Mainz miss the start completely. Apparently even in her cabin.
Bad mood guaranteed This is a test of courage for Werder fans

To see on TV: While Werder is already waiting in the players’ tunnel in the minutes before the game, there is still no sign of Mainz. And when the teams finally go out, Mainz supporters light about 15 Bengalo torches in the stands. Consequence: kick-off 4.35 minutes late.
But Mainz is fully there in the game after a good half hour!
36 minutes: Mask man Barreiro (broke his nose in training during the week) right on the wing to da Costa. In the middle Ingvartsen starts past Pieper in the direction of the corner of the six-yard box, gets the ball served perfectly to his head and nods into the far post.
The first time that Ingvartsen has scored in two Bundesliga games in a row (most recently in the 1-1 draw against Leipzig on Saturday). In addition, his first goal with a head in his 16th Bundesliga goal. And for Werder the first headed goal conceded this season.
Werder’s battered defensive ace Milos Veljkovic (27 / tendon irritation in the thigh) during the break at Sky: “Da Costa has a lot of time. The ball comes in sharply, a good run – it’s really very difficult to defend.”
Best attack of the game then in the 66th minute: Mainz with six stops from their own penalty area to make it 2-0. Stach on Lee, who deflected from Pieper on the near post gives Pavlenka no chance – the decision.
And what about filling jug?
The top scorer in the league (8 goals) has legitimate hopes of being taken to the World Cup in Qatar (November 20 to December 18) by national coach Hansi Flick. Flick recently meaningful: “He brings certain qualities that we don’t have in the form.”
However, the September Player of the Month is not advertising itself today. Two promising chances missed in the first 20 minutes. Otherwise, like Sturm colleague Ducksch, unlucky (both BILD grade 5).
Werder captain Marco Friedl explains: “There will always be games like this. The main problem was that we used the free spaces too little and too seldom.”
