In the early morning of April 30, Beijing time, a focus match in the 32nd round of the Bundesliga, Werder Bremen hosted Holsteinkill. As a result, after 90 minutes of the match, Bremen scored three goals in a row by his opponent in a 2-0 lead, and finally lost the victory 2-3. After this match, Bremen not only lost the top spot, but also changed the promotion situation.
As a club with four Bundesliga champions, Bremen, who have been relegated to the Bundesliga this season, aim to return to the Bundesliga. After the replacement of head coach Ole Werner, Bremen performed very well. Before this round, they even ranked at the top of the league table. Facing Holstein Kier, they could even seal up a Bundesliga spot once Bremen win.
After the match began, Bremen, who played at home, played well. Just two minutes into the opening, Phil Kruger broke the deadlock and Bremen took a 1-0 advantage. In the 23rd minute, the referee determined Bremen's penalty after a VAR review, and Dukesch stepped in to help the team get a two-goal advantage. In the same time, São Paulo had not yet broken the situation on the field, and Bremen fans seemed to be able to celebrate the team's return to the Bundesliga in advance.
However, before the end of the half, the situation in Bremen took a sharp turn for the worse. In half-time injury time, Phil Kruger's oolong ball gave Bremen only one goal left to lead. Back in the second half, Anthony Rong also scored the same oolong goal, and Bremen's manager Werner was speechless. What made the Bremen team even more devastated was that Cobb scored a goal in the deadly game in the 85th minute.
For Holsteinkill, the victory in this game does not affect their ranking in the standings, after all, they have long lost the possibility of promotion. But what I have to agree is that they can play a 3-2 reversal game when they are 0-2 behind.
On the other hand, Bremen's side, after losing this game, lost the top position in the league due to the victory of Schalke 04 in the same period. Sao Paulo, who also scored 1 point in this round of matches, continues to maintain the possibility of promotion. In the early hours of the morning game, Bremen was arguably the biggest loser, with competitors grabbing points in a row while they were leading 2-0 and suffering a big reversal.
Once Darmstadt wins this round, bremen will most likely lose the top 2 positions in the league. And in the follow-up matches, Bremen may be overtaken by São Paulo and Hamburg at any time. Whether this Bundesliga 4-crowned team will drop the chain in a row at the last minute, let us continue to pay attention.
