Werder Bremen was on the verge of falling to 16th place in the Bundesliga – then came the fourth minute of stoppage time and Keke Topp, who gave his team a point against Borussia Mönchengladbach. You can find all the highlights from the 2nd Bundesliga from Monday morning at midnight in the ARD media library and on sportschau.de: https://www.sportschau.de/fussball/bundesliga2 We look forward to a subscription on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sportschau Check out our website: https://www.sportschau.de Our Sportschau theme world in the media library: https://www.ardmediathek.de/sport/ “But we have until At the end we believed that we would get this one point.” Regarding criticism of himself, Steffen said: “I’m looking forward to further collaboration and hope that it will continue for a long time. I assume that I am and will remain Werder’s coach.” Bremen’s sports director Clemens Fritz left Steffen’s future open. “We haven’t won ten games, of course it’s clear that we have to sit down and discuss it first,” he said. When asked, Fritz avoided making a clear commitment to Steffen in view of the fall into the relegation zone: “We have to let it sink in first and then we’ll analyze it together. It’s important that we sort it out for ourselves first.” It was clear to everyone that there would be no football treat. The pressure was noticeable on both teams, they started very focused and initially neutralized each other. The aim was to disrupt the opponent’s build-up of the game and prevent an early goal being conceded, and it worked – at the expense of scoring chances. The Gladbachers had the first. After a corner that was cleared too short, Rocco Reitz took a shot, but his shot from 16 meters landed wide of the goal. A little later, the people of Bremen also registered at the front. During a quick counter-attack, Samuel Mbangula passed the ball to Jusi Njinmah, but he failed from a tight angle past the Gladbach goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas. But that was it from the first half, in which neither team took any risks and was therefore poor in highlights. Bremen got off to a better start in the second half. Shortly after the restart, Gladbach goalkeeper Nicolas had to defuse a powerful shot from Yukinari Sugawara from 18 meters. A little later, Karim Coulibaly headed the ball towards the far post, where the Japanese player, who was ready to shoot, narrowly missed the ball again. As a result, Gladbach allowed themselves to be pushed in behind, lost the ball very quickly and hardly provided any relief. Right in the middle of Bremen’s pressure phase, Gladbach scored out of nowhere. Reitz and Franck Honorat quickly moved forward on the right side. The ball came to Tabakovic in the middle, who just had to push it in. Werder appeared unimpressed and continued to put pressure on Gladbach. The Borussia were exclusively occupied on the defensive. But it wasn’t really compelling, no matter how hard Bremen tried. In the 84th minute, the Green-Whites were unlucky when Senne Lynen hit the post with a powerful shot from the second row. Shortly afterwards, Nicolas had to give everything he had to a shot from Olivier Deman. Gladbach continued to be under constant pressure and it happened in stoppage time. At a corner, Borussia didn’t get the ball cleared and Topp scored with a powerful shot. The deserved compensation. Bitter for Borussia: Shortly before conceding the goal, Shuto Machino made it 2-0 on a counterattack.
