RB Leipzig – Werder Bremen 1:1 (0:0)
RB Leipzig dropped two points in the race for the Champions League places. In their last Bundesliga game of the year, the Saxons couldn’t get past a 1-1 (0-0) draw at Werder Bremen despite having more chances. Loïs Openda (47th minute) gave the guests the lead shortly after the break. Justin Njinmah (75th) managed to equalize for Bremen with a long-range shot.
Thanks to the point win, Werder is at least slightly increasing their lead over the direct relegation places for the time being. At the start of the 16th matchday, Werder climbed past VfL Bochum to 13th place. Third-placed Leipzig, on the other hand, could be overtaken by VfB Stuttgart on Wednesday.
Before kick-off, Werder fans observed a minute’s silence in memory of Israeli Inbar Haiman, who died in Hamas captivity after being kidnapped. Haiman was a supporter of Maccabi Haifa, and the ultras of Werder Bremen have a fan friendship with the club.
