SV Werder Bremen scored a very important 2-0 (0-0) home win against FC Augsburg on matchday 16 in the Bundesliga.

The game report of the DeichStube *.

Bremen -

SV Werder Bremen

tortured

its fans for a

long time

with concrete soccer against

FC Augsburg

, but then the green and whites let it crash and landed a very important 2-0 (0-0) home win against FC Augsburg .

Man of the day was

Felix Agu

, who

prepared

the first goal for

Theodor Gebre Selassie

(84th) and then even scored the 2-0 (87th) himself.

Now with 18 points after 16 match days, Werder has a comfortable six point lead over the relegation place and can continue to work in peace. 

Werder coach

Florian Kohfeldt

had to rebuild his defense, which was so strong in the 1-1 draw in Leverkusen.

Felix Agu celebrated his debut in the

Bundesliga

for the injured left-back Ludwig Augustinsson

.

There was also a change at the front: Tahith Chong had to vacate his seat, Davie Selke was allowed to take over.

The center forward probably benefited from the fact that Niclas Füllkrug injured himself again in training on Friday and will be out for an indefinite period.

Milot Rashica was back in the squad for the first time since his tendon injury at the end of November, but initially only sat on the bench.

Just like Yuya Osako, for whom Kohfeldt recently ordered a break to clear his head.

Werder Bremen against FC Augsburg: Werder does not take place offensively in the first half

The Bremen plan was easy to see: the zero must be there.

Werder Bremen

curled up with their 5: 3: 2 system in the back - as in Leverkusen.

This time, however, against an opponent who does not want to go to the Champions League like Bayer, but against an FCA who was only two places ahead of Werder in the table before the match day.

But that's how it is at SV Werder in 2021. After half an hour, Augsburg had possession of the ball at over 70 percent.

After all: Werder defended very well, only allowing the guests one chance before the break.

And that was also a present from

Marco Friedl

, whose buck Andre Hahn didn't use (18th).

His shot went just wide of the goal.

Coach Kohfeldt's team couldn't do anything with possession of the ball.

Not only was there a lack of courage, but also a lack of playfulness.

It started back in the build-up of the game and continued in the three-man midfield.

Maximilian Eggestein and Kevin Möhwald, who this time acted as the central six, couldn't set any accents at all,

Jean-Manuel Mbom

had even bigger problems in the game forward.

And if the ball got there anyway, Selke almost always lost it again.

Next man Josh Sargent was nowhere to be seen.

Werder Bremen against FC Augsburg: No dismissal - Daniel Caligiuiri in luck

A defender had the only chance: But the badly distressed Theodor Gebre Selassie brought the ball with his head and neck too harmlessly to get FCA keeper Rafal Gikiewicz in trouble (33.).

"That was not a treat," admitted Clemens Fritz, Werder's head of professional football, at half-time at Sky and demanded: "We have to be much more active."

However, there were no personnel changes, Kohfeldt decided not to change.

And shortly after the restart, finally saw a counterattack by his team, which the much too hesitant Mbom quickly ended.

Perhaps it would have helped Werder if referee Sascha Stegemann had sent Daniel Caligiuri off the pitch after a foul on Agu (54th).

But the Augsburg man was allowed to stay - and was then brought to safety by his coach Heiko Herrlich with a substitution.

Werder Bremen against FC Augsburg: Felix Agu and Theodor Gebre Selassie let Werder cheer late!

The green-whites now ventured into the opposing half a little more often.

And Sargent ended the Bremen harmlessness with a great shot (after Mbom preparatory work), which Gikiewicz was just able to steer past the post with a very strong foot defense (64th).

Now Kohfeldt also acted, brought Romano Schmid for the ineffective Selke.

And finally it was a home game!

Werder wanted more than one point and played forward.

Gebre Selassie did not get enough pressure behind the ball on his second chance (80.).

But then: on his third attempt, the captain artistically pushed the ball into the goal after a cross from Agu (84th).

Big cheers at Werder!

Gebre Selassie and Kohfeldt lay in each other's arms.

It got even better: After a cross from Schmid, Agu made the preliminary decision with his first Bundesliga goal (87th) and a very important victory in the battle for relegation.

Rashica's comeback shortly before the end and Ilia Gruev's Bundesliga premiere also went well with the positive Werder day.

The Green-Whites will continue their guest appearance in Mönchengladbach on Tuesday.

Conclusion: Werder Bremen beat FC Augsburg victoriously thanks to match winner Felix Agu!

>>>

UPDATE

<<<

17:22:

final whistle!

Werder rewarded themselves with a deserved 2-0 victory after a strong second half!

In the half-time break, Coach Kohfeldt seems to have found the right words.

The green-whites came in much more offensive scenes in the second round and thanks to an excellent agus they leave the pitch as winners.

First Agu placed Gebre Selassie's 1-0 lead (84th min) in order to score himself in the 87th minute after strong preparatory work by Romano Schmid.

The three points are really good!

90 + 3 min:

The last 30 seconds are running.

Nothing can go wrong here.

90 + 2 min:

Kohfeldt takes time from the clock.

Gruev celebrates his Bundesliga premiere.

Sargent can go downstairs.

90 + 1 min:

The fourth official shows three minutes of stoppage time.

Werder should get the 2-0 lead over time.

89.Min:

Möhwald makes room for Rashica.

87.Min: Agu makes the preliminary decision after very strong preparatory work.

Romano Schmid saves the ball just before the touch, then pulls into the penalty area and plays carefully in the back area to Agu, who is completely free and hits the far corner.

Nice move!

87.Min: And the next hit for Werder!

Agu scores 2-0!

87th Min: Double change Augsburg: Gregoritsch comes for Oxford, Civeja replaces Khedira.

84th Min: Gebre Selassie meets the redeeming leadership!

Agu crosses from the left wing in the middle, Oxford unhappily extended with the back of the head to Gebre Selassie.

The Czech asserts himself artistically in the air and pushes the ball into the net for a 1-0 lead!

84th Min: Tooooooooooooor for Werder!

83.Min:

Friedl defends that very cleverly tonight.

His opponent wants to chase the ball from him, but Friedl works with his body and pulls the foul - good scene!

80.Min:

Gebre Selassie uses a well-timed cross at the second post.

However, he cannot control the ball and so the game device jumps from his slipper into the arms of Augsburg's Gikiewicz

80th Min:

The final phase is running.

Will Werder still manage the lucky punch?

77th min:

Friedl takes a ricochet at full risk.

The Austrian's shot clearly goes next to the box.

74th Min:

Next change Augsburg.

Vargas goes down, Sarenren Bazee comes.

72nd min:

And there comes the person addressed.

Schmid comes for Selke.

71.Min:

On the sidelines, Romano Schmid is getting ready for his substitution.

The Bremer should find offensive solutions.

71.Min:

Both teams miss to keep the ball in their own ranks longer.

68.Min:

On the wing, Vargas goes past Veljkovic at a great pace, Gebre Selassie rushes to help and cleverly puts the body in the path.

Vargas runs up and referee Sascha Stegemann whistles the foul for Werder.

Werder Bremen against FC Augsburg in the live ticker: Joshua Sargent with the big chance!

65.Min

:

Mbom wins a header duel in front of the sixteenth and puts Sargent in the limelight.

The American locks up immediately, but Gikiewicz is there and can prevent the impact with his outstretched foot!

Without this world class reflex the doorbell would have rang.

63.Min:

After a corner, Oxford is completely free to head in the six-yard area!

The Englishman himself probably did not expect so little resistance, there is another way of explaining this missed header opportunity.

The attempt doesn't even find its way onto the box.

62nd Min:

Werder is now more involved in the game.

It will also be a little more offensive.

There's still something going on!

57th Min:

Double change with the guests.

Niederlechner and Gumny.

The yellow-red endangered Caligiuri and Finnbogason leave the field.

54th Min:

Caligiuri has to be careful!

In the duel with Agu, the Augsburg man comes too late.

If Sascha Stegemann whistles a little more strictly, the already warned has to leave the field - but this is how Caligiuri continues.

54th Min:

In the first few minutes of the second half we already have more offensive scenes than in the entire first half.

50.Min:

Augsburg now has a little space.

On the right wing, Caligiuri sends Hahn.

The German crosses back exactly on the skull of Caligiuri, who forces Pavlenka to make a strong parade.

On closer inspection, however, it becomes apparent that the gaming device would probably have gone wrong anyway.

49.Min:

There was more in it!

Mbom has a lot of grass in front of him and tries to go into the box.

Uduokhai can still keep his foot clean and thus the press impact is no problem for Augsburg's number one.

46th Min:

Is Eggestein's graduation the sign of a better second half?

Werder conquered the ball early, Eggestein pulls in front of the penalty area - Gikiewicz is there and grabs safely.

46th Min:

The "fun" continues.

But let's be honest: it can only get better.

4.19 p.m.:

Let's take a look at the other places.

Was there more going on there?

Not really...

Borussia Dortmund 0-0 1. FSV Mainz 05

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim 0-0 Arminia Bielefeld

VfL Wolfsburg 2-1 RB Leipzig

1. FC Cologne 0-0 Hertha BSC

Werder Bremen against FC Augsburg in the live ticker: Weak first round

16:16:

half time!

Friends, we really deserve this break.

What the hosts have offered us so far is less than nothing.

There were hardly any offensive ambitions.

Augsburg at least tried hard and looked for solutions around the penalty area.

As in handball, the guests have played for the Bremen sixteen, but have not yet found the right solution.

There is not much more to say about this performance.

Up until now, football was a wrench.

45 + 1 min:

Of course, there is a minute on top.

But don't panic, we'll be there in a minute!

45th Min:

The last minute of the first half is running.

Will we still be punished with added time?

43rd Min:

It really hurts how little goes forward here.

At halftime, Kohfeldt has to come up with something so that something should come about with the win.

If this goes on like this - cheers meal.

41.Min:

Augsburg goes on the counterplay very early.

Werder are lucky that these scenes have almost always ended in a foul by the guests.

39th Min:

Small statistics on the offensive efforts of Bremen.

So far, Augsburg have played 120 passes in the opposing half, while Werder only played 26.

37th Min:

From the half-field, Caligiuri brings a due standard into the penalty area.

Pavlenka plays along and plucks the cherry out of the air.

33.Min:

After the standard is due, Gebre Selassie prevails in the header duel and brings the ball to Gikiewicz's box with his head, shoulder, back or a mixture of all three.

The deal wasn't really dangerous.

32nd min:

Now Caligiuri sees yellow!

He's too late against Agu - right decision.

30.Min:

Augsburg is the better team here.

Away, the FCA has 73 (!) Percent possession.

The statistics don't have to mean anything, of course, but without enough ball possession it will of course be more difficult for the green-whites.

27.Min:

Friedl defends Caligiuri very well on the wing.

The Augsburg man makes the most of the scene and at least gets a corner out of it.

25.Min:

Pedersen gets the chip ball into the penalty area and tries to get a penalty against Veljkovic.

Stegemann sees through the plan and immediately waves it off.

Toprak gives the Augsburg man a few nice words to take along.

22.Min

:

Kohfeldt in a rage!

In front of the coach, Caligiuri steps on Selke's foot.

Of course, this is always painful, but there is no need to issue a warning.

20.Min:

The hosts are doing far too little on the offensive here.

No train to the gate, no ideas.

The way over the center line is very long for the green-whites at the moment.

18.Min:

First good conclusion from Augsburg!

The starting point was an excellent tackle from Werders Friedl against Vargas.

But after winning the ball, the Austrian plays a very dangerous ball into the penalty area.

Finnbogason smells the roast and sets off right for Hahn.

The Augsburg man closes directly, but puts the attempt just next to the post.

Werder Bremen against FC Augsburg in the live ticker: Weak first quarter of an hour on the Weser

16.Min:

If Augsburg thinks more offensively, it is almost exclusively about long balls in the top.

Even if the ball is lost immediately, the guests try to go to the second ball.

This plan really doesn't work yet.

13.Min:

After Oxford clears the ball in the penalty area, it lands on Toprak's foot, who falls.

Of course, the green-whites would have a penalty for this.

But Sasche Stegemann waves it away.

10th Min:

Free kick for Werder.

On the left wing Gruezo puts the body in - right decision.

8.Min

:

Caligiuri with the early ball win against Mbom.

The FCA then brings a cross to Finnbogason via the left wing, but he does not really get to the game device.

Werder defends that for sure at the beginning.

It shouldn't have come to the scene in the first place: The entry from Augsburg was illegal.

5.Min

:

Pavlenka grabs for the first time.

An arc lamp from Finnbogason on the penalty area line lands without any problems in the arms of Werder's number one.

3. Min:

Both teams act with opposing ball possession with five chains.

As a result, there have been few successful in-depth campaigns to date.

1. Min:

Augsburg tries to take the initiative directly.

With long balls from the last row in the top it should work for the FCA.

Werder Bremen against FC Augsburg in the live ticker: kick-off - it starts!

1.Min:

kick-off!

Augsburg wins the election and is allowed to start.

Here we go!

3:24 p.m.:

The teams are in the tunnel - every moment it's going out onto the lawn.

3:21 p.m.:

We are approaching the kick-off with big steps.

Not even ten minutes, then finally the ball rolls in the Weserstadion.

3:14 p.m.:

One factor that the statistics look a little better after the 90 minutes can be Florian Kohfeldt.

Since Kohfeldt took over as head coach of the green-whites, the green-whites have won the last four of five games.

3:10 p.m.:

The green-whites can still work a little on the direct

comparison

- today would definitely be a good time for it.

In 18 clashes in the Bundesliga, the home side lost 9 times.

The points were shared twice and Werder only emerged as the winner 7 times.

3:04 p.m.:

Let's take a look at the team of referees.

Referee Sascha Stegemann from Niederkassel is supported by his assistants Mark Borsch and Frederick Assmuth.

As the fourth official, Thorben Siewer ensures order in the coaching zone.

Daniel Siebert operates all the controls in the Cologne video cellar.

2:58 p.m.:

If we can believe the statistics, the team of coach Florian Kohfeldt doesn't have to worry too much in the first 30 minutes.

Augsburg is the only team in the current season that could not score a goal in the half hour after kick-off.

2:56 p.m.:

It won't be a

sure-fire success

for Werder.

After all, the guests collected eleven of their 19 points abroad.

2:50 p.m.:

Nevertheless: With their 15 points, the home side have already proven to be more diligent point collectors than last season.

At that time there were only 14 points in the entire first half of the season.

2.45 p.m.:

The two teams are not really far apart in the table.

While Augsburg has made itself comfortable with 19 points in 11th place in the table, the green-whites on rank 13 want to make a leap in the direction of secured midfield.

With their current 15 points, Florian Kohfeldt's men are in the danger zone of the relegation ranks.

2:41 p.m.:

What should make Bremen positive: On the 3rd match day of last season, the green-whites prevailed 3-2 against Augsburg.

What does not give much hope: Since the sense of achievement, there have only been two more threes to celebrate in the 22 home games that followed.

It's time to polish up the statistics a bit.

2.37 p.m.:

Let's take a look at the green-whites' bench.

Kapino, Rashica, Osako, Bittencourt, Moisander, Schmid, Chong, Gruev and Dinkci take their place here.

Werder Bremen against FC Augsburg in the live ticker: The line-ups are - starting eleven debut for Felix Agu

2.32 p.m.:

A starting eleven debut and a starting eleven comeback - these are the stories of the first team from Bremen.

Felix Agu is allowed to run for the first time ever and takes over from Augustinsson.

The Swede has muscular problems and was therefore not an option.

In addition, Selke can run again from the start.

Due to the injury-related failure of Füllkrug, Selke is certainly the more sensible option than the rather slender Schmid and Chong, who could not really convince in the last game.

Only a lot of physicality helps against Augsburg's defensive edges.

2.29 p.m.:

And so the guests from Augsburg play: Gikiewicz - Oxford, Gouweleeuw, Uduokhai, Pedersen - Khedira, Gruezo - Caligiuri, Vargas - Hahn, Finnbogason.

Finnbo, Mads and André start in Bremen - get the points!

2.27 p.m.:

The hosts from the Weser are again more than punctual today.

This is how Coach Kohfeldt plays: Pavlenka - Friedl, Toprak, Veljkovic - Agu, Mbom, Eggestein, Möhwald, Gebre Selassie - Sargent, Selke.

OUR ELF!

- SV Werder Bremen (@werderbremen) January 16, 2021

2:19 p.m.:

Will Werder finally get his chronic home weakness under control?

After three home defeats in a row, is there another victory to celebrate?

2.15 p.m.:

Friends, welcome to the Werder home game against FC Augsburg!

In less than 15 minutes we know who should bring the team of coach Florian Kohfeldt onto the road to victory.

On to the preliminary report on Werder Bremen against FC Augsburg:

Coach Florian Kohfeldt warns Werder Bremen about FC Augsburg and does not want to look into the future

Bremen - next attempt:

SV Werder Bremen

can take

a big step away from the relegation zone

with a home win against

FC Augsburg

on Saturday

and make it into midfield.

But Florian Kohfeldt doesn't want to hear about it anymore after speaking about it two weeks earlier.

The 2-0 disaster against Union Berlin finally followed.

An opponent with whom Kohfeldt thought his team was actually on an equal footing in terms of their individual class.

But that looked completely different.

This is not the only reason why the coach is more cautious.

It is also due to the FCA, the bottom of the table, who with 19 points has four points more than

Werder Bremen

on the account.

Werder Bremen against FC Augsburg: Coach Florian Kohfeldt feels absolute will

“I'm expecting an unpleasant, clever, very adult opponent.

It's a very well-established Bundesliga team, "says

Florian Kohfeldt, confirming

that the FCA offensive is" extremely high-quality Bundesliga ".

He counts professionals such as Ruben Vargas, Michael Gregoritsch, Andre Hahn, Alfred Finnbogason, Florian Niederlechner ("last season almost a 15-goal striker") and the, however, suspended Marco Richter.

In addition,

FC Augsburg

under coach Heiko Herrlich is not easy to calculate.

"But we are also difficult to read," emphasizes Kohfeldt, who has to do without the injured Niclas Füllkrug for a short time, and directs the focus to his own team.

That last showed a strong defensive performance at the 1-1 draw in Leverkusen.

There was praise from the coach for this, but also the hint that he would not accept any decline.

"There was a good sharpness in training - brought in by the coaching team, but also by the team," said Kohfeldt.

He feels the absolute will "that we want to win".

Werder Bremen versus FC Augsburg: despite weakness at home in the midfield of the Bundesliga table?

But with home wins at

Werder Bremen it

has not worked out so well for

what

feels like an eternity - especially not without spectators.

Of the seven games in the Weserstadion, only one was won this season - against Arminia Bielefeld (1-0).

The guests won four times.

Kohfeldt has tried a lot to fight the home complex, even changing the light in the cabin.

“Maybe we'll drive to the stadium via Brinkum ...”, says Kohfeldt and grins.

The small detour to the Lower Saxony area is unlikely to be an option.

But then the step into midfield?

Kohfeldt first repeats the question in order to gain time and put together the following answer: “I don't know.

It may be that we can do it.

It doesn't matter what was or what comes to Augsburg, it's only important on Saturday.

Then we tell the story about it.

And which one that is, we decide on the pitch. ”The kick-off against FC Augsburg is on Saturday in the Weserstadion at 3:30 pm (

live ticker of

the DeichStube).
