With the seventh win in a row, Werder Bremen has at least temporarily taken over the top of the table in the 2nd Bundesliga.
The first division relegated team won 2-1 (0-0) at Hansa Rostock on Friday evening and thus overtook SV Darmstadt 98 (39) and FC St. Pauli (38) with 41 points.
Both clubs are still playing at the weekend.
Rostock - In front of 10,000 spectators in the Ostseestadion, the green-whites had a hard time despite their superiority in the field.
It was not until the 52nd minute that Marvin Ducksch redeemed Bremen with his twelfth goal of the season.
In the 74th minute, Niclas Füllkrug made it 2-0, and Rostock's goal from Robin Meißner (83rd) came too late.
Bremen coach Ole Werner celebrated his seventh win in seven games and is just one win away from beating Otto Rehhagel's club record.
Next Saturday, Werder welcomes the current bottom team FC Ingolstadt.
