Werder Bremen moved into the DFB Cup quarter-finals with a spectacular 3-2 win against Borussia Dortmund. The game report of the DeichStube *.
Bremen - Who would have expected this team? Werder Bremen was heavily scarred by the relegation battle on the ground before this DFB Cup round of 16, but there was a resurrection on Tuesday evening - against Borussia Dortmund , of course, who had played so well lately. With a spectacular 3: 2 win, the Bremeners deservedly made it into the quarter-finals, and with it the worries about relegation for just a few hours from the minds of all Bremeners.
Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt had caused a surprise in his starting line-up: Yuya Osako, who was recently neglected, got a probation chance. Nick Woltemade, who wasn't even in the squad, had to make way for him. Ex-Dortmund Nuri Sahin and Ömer Toprak were missing in comparison to the Augsburg game and were only on the bench. Milos Veljkovic and Marco Friedl ran for them.
Werder Bremen takes the lead through Davie Selke and Leonardo Bittencourt
And Dortmund? As always in the cup, Marwin Hitz was allowed to run for regular goalkeeper Roman Bürki. Last minute transfer Emre Can was just sitting on the bench at first, as was the Erling Haaland goal machine. Nevertheless, the Borussia immediately had everything under control, did not give the ball for almost five minutes. Vogt just saved Marco Reus (4th), who was ready to fire. That looked pretty bad for the hosts, who looked kind of scared. But wrong! Suddenly the Bremen struggled, they even attacked. Friedl conquered the ball in front of the opposing penalty area, Milot Rashica pulled off - and Davie Selke hammered the ball just blocked by BVB keeper Hitz into the net (16.). 1: 0 for Werder - the Weser Stadium, sold out with 42,100 spectators, shook.
And it got even louder when Leonardo Bittencourt smashed the ball from 22 meters into the corner after a Friedl corner weakly fended off by Reus (30.). A dream goal ! He had earned it with overwhelming effort.
Werder Bremen could have taken a 3-0 break against BVB
The guests were shocked. If they had reacted to the 0: 1 with angry attacks (Friedl saved on the line, goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka defused a fallback from Mats Hummels), they now found no means against the cleverly defending Bremen. Kohfeldt had apparently adjusted his team perfectly to the opponent. It would have been even more perfect if Selke had not failed due to heat in his solo shortly before the break, but instead had served Rashica 3: 0.
BVB coach Lucien Favre reacted, brought Haaland for Thorgan Hazard right after the break - and of course everyone immediately thought that the Norwegian has scored seven goals in the last three games. Niklas Moisander greeted him with a tackle from behind in the legs.
Werder Bremen: Davie Selke replaced BVB injured
Shortly thereafter, Davie Selke was finished (50th). The striker had already injured his thigh with his huge chance. Treatment during the break was unsuccessful. And now there is even fear that the attacker will be out longer. That would be really bitter and another setback in the relegation battle. Josh Sargent came for Selke.
That was not the only reason why Werder Bremen did not go much forward. The Borussia put pressure now, also came dangerously into the box, but did not finish properly. The green-whites threw themselves into every shot, fought self-sacrificingly. But then it was just too fast - and of course it was this Erling Haaland who pushed the ball over the line after a Brandt cross (67 '). And just a little later, substitute Giovanni Reyna should have made the equalization, but failed due to Pavlenka (68.).
Werder Bremen: Niklas Moisander escapes red card
Werder Bremen wobbled alarmingly. That couldn't really go well. But it was because Osako fitted the ball perfectly and Milot Rashica aimed even more perfectly at the long corner - 3: 1. Werder madness in the Weser Stadium! But that was far from it. The BVB struck again. This time, Reyna showed how tech-savvy he was and threw the ball into the corner (78th).
Now it was really turbulent. Niklas Moisander was annoyed by a Reyna swallow and pushed him to the floor in the penalty area. There was then yellow for both players. Breathe deeply, red would also have been possible for Moisander. The tremors continued. But then it was done, and that should give confidence for the game against Union Berlin on Saturday. Werder's next opponent in the DFB Cup will be drawn next Sunday in the ARD sports show. (Kni / DCO)

87.Min: about three and a half minutes on the clock. But this VAR scene alone took three minutes. There will be a lot of time here.
85.Min: Winkmann gives Reyna and Moisander yellow. Moisander makes three crosses inside because the game was still running while he was touching the Reyna jersey and a foul occurred. Breathe!
84th Min: The game is still interrupted. Guido Winkmann looks at the scene again. Moisander has rarely been stupid when the game was still running.
82.Min: pack formation to the right of the Werder penalty area. Reyna and Moisander are primarily involved. Moisander buttoned up Reyna, who made a swallow. The video referee looks at it all again.
81.Min: Werder has to tremble for another ten minutes.
78th Min: And there is the connecting goal again. Giovanni Reyna leaves Osako and Klaassen standing and flings the ball into the corner.
77.Min: Thank goodness Marco Reus and Julian Brandt are playing below their level today. Pass rates tend to take the Bremen trains of the past week. OK then!.
75.Min: BVB is now charging! Werder always comes across good counter situations. But Josh Sargent unfortunately seems to be the wrong man for it again. His passports are underground.
73.Min : Haaland alone again in front of Pavlenka. The young Norwegian just did not get a shot on goal for the first time in German professional football.
Werder Bremen against Borussia Dortmund in the live ticker - Werder again increased by Rashica
70.Min: This is called an answer! Yuya Osako with the pass of the game in the course of Milot Rashica. The Bremen goalkeeper, who is now the sole Bremen record holder in successive cup goals, pushes in the manner of an executioner. A dream!
70.Min: Tooooooooorrrrr for Werder Bremen! There was nothing to indicate that! Milot Rashica scores 3-1 for green and white!
69.Min: Reyna's first action could have been 2: 2. But Pavlenka and Bittencourt save at the very last second. Dortmund is here now and Werder swims tremendously in the back.

67th min: And there it happened. And who else could do it besides Erling Haaland? The new score is 2-1.
66.Min: Lucien Favre changes the second time. Zagadou goes out. The 17-year-old Giovanni Reyna - son of Claudio Reyna arrives.
65.Min: Even the sixth corner of Dortmund is harmless.
64.Min: Marco Reus sees the yellow card because of complaining. The grumbling was not without foundation. A clear Werder foul was not punished.
64.Min: Werder again with an attack. Eggestein, who, like the entire Werderelf, shows a major improvement today, plays the ball high over Dortmund's big defenders on Rashica. Marwin Hitz, who otherwise has to let Roman Bürki take the lead in the league, saves in the last emergency.
61.Min: The game is now in a crucial phase. Dortmund is pushing more and more, but Werder is still holding out. There are still 30 minutes to play.
60.Min: Brandt prevails against Veljkovic and Eggestein and then shoots Klaassen in the stomach. The game machine rolls out to the corner. Werder is shaking a little now. So far, Dortmund is not yet imperative.

Werder Bremen against Borussia Dortmund in the live ticker - Dortmund is stronger, but the Werder leadership still holds
57.Min: Danger in the Werder penalty area! Reus, Haaland and Schulz make up the Bremen. Fortunately, Schulz comes to a conclusion. Pavlenka throws himself into the ball.
55.Min: If you fight, if you give everything, then you also get the fans back on your side. The stadium stands at "Get up if you're Bremen"
53.Min: luck for Werder. Some Dortmund scurry the ball in the penalty area. But Veljkovic throws himself in between. Combat is the big cinema of all Bremen's today.
Min 51: The corner is weak. Dortmund is again in possession of Dan-Axel Zagadou.
50.Min: Nice flat cross from Osako in the middle. Hummels is in front of Rashica and clears to the corner.
49.Min: Meanwhile, Nico Schulz receives a yellow card for a foul against Bittencourt.
49.Min: Now the change. Selke has to be injured from the square. Josh Sargent comes into the game.
49.Min: Reus into the wall! Yes!
48.Min: Moisander puts Haaland shortly before the penalty area. Great position for the Dortmunders.
48.Min: The 19-year-old Haaland scored seven goals (!) In 136 minutes.
47.Min: With the gestures just before half-time, one could have guessed that Davie Selke had to leave the court because of a muscle injury. But the scorer for 1: 0 bites through.
46.Min: It continues. Thorgan Hazard is off the field. Unsurprisingly, Erling Haaland is now part of the party. Surprisingly, Davie Selke can go on.
Take a deep breath. In case someone has not yet noticed: Werder Bremen deservedly leads Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at halftime. With 1: 0 by Davie Selke and the dream goal by Leo Bittencourt to 2: 0, Dortmund are even well served. Nevertheless, nothing is decided here. Dortmund is always good for two goals, Davie Selke seems to be injured and BVB still has an Erling Haaland in the rear. Let’s hope that the result will bring over time today.
Werder Bremen versus Borussia Dortmund in the live ticker - half time, Werder leads with 2: 0
Half. Werder is totally surprising here, but definitely deserves a 2-0 break!
45.Min: Selke needs to be treated. It is highly uncertain whether he will come back in the second half.
44.Min: Will it take revenge? Selke is alone on the way to 3: 0 in the hallway. If he plays the ball over, Rashica can easily slide to the third goal. But the newcomer tries it on his own. But this conclusion was very weak ..
42.Min: Where does this Bremen self-confidence come from. Against Reus, Sancho and co. Bittencourt and Osako playfully put themselves in a promising counter situation. But Selke dies. Too bad.
40.Min: Half time in five minutes. It would be extremely important to take this result into the break.
39.Min: Bittencourt again with a successful action in his own half. The little German-Brazilian is spying the ball on Osako, who wants to send Rashica with plenty of space. At first you think that the fast Kosovar can get the ball, but Manuel Akanji's sprinter qualities are not bad parents either.
38.Min: Bittencourt receives a warning from referee Winkmann that he should loosen up. If he continues to be so overly motivated, he will not be on the pitch until the end - already charged with yellow.
36.Min : Sancho dribbles to the right of the staf room past the falling Rashica. After Rashica Friedl waits and clarifies.
36.Min: This gameplay is currently an absolute dream for every battered Werder fan heart of the past few weeks.
33.Min: You can hardly say it, but Werder is closer to 3: 0 than Dortmund at 1: 2. Just three Bremen guys in the penalty area. Rashica's ball is far too imprecise in the back area. Only Manuel Akanji is there and clarifies.
Werder Bremen against Borussia Dortmund in the live ticker - Leonardo Bittencourt by dream goal for 2: 0
30.Min: Wow, wow, wow! This goal will be at the forefront of the goal of the month! After a Rashica corner, the ball lands at Leo Bittencourt, who fails to accept the ball about 5 meters in front of the penalty area, but then pulls straight out of the air in the second attempt and hits the left corner. Marwin Hitz had absolutely no chance with this hammer!
30.Min: Leonardo Bittencourt's dream toooooorrrr! Werder leads 2-0!
Min 29: One of the best players on the field so far is Marco Friedl. The young Austrian makes various correct decisions and appears very confident in his actions.
27.Min: Werder is now trying to bring a little peace into the game.
25.Min: The second corner of Dortmund evaporates within a very short time. Dortmund continues to run. Bittencourt, who looks particularly hot today, pulls the ball away and is celebrated by the east curve.
24.Min: The corner is extremely dangerous. Friedl saves on the line after a Dortmund flank without customers. The ball bounces to Mats Hummels, who tries to pull the ball back. Pavlenka is on the spot and clears to the corner.
24.Min : Good free kick, but the Werder Wall around Kevin Vogt is on the spot and can deflect to the corner.
22.Min: Bittencourt puts Sancho in a precarious position in front of the penalty area and rightly sees the yellow card. Reus is ready. Hold your breath.
21.Min: Another Werder degree. Niklas Moisander from the second row - warped.
19.Min: If the SVW were to appear permanently in every game as in the first 20 minutes of this game, they would not be in the situation they are in at the moment! The stadium is of course on site. The mood is breathtaking.
Werder Bremen versus Borussia Dortmund in the live ticker - Davie Selke scores 1-0
16.Min: what's going on here? Werder actually leads 1-0 against BVB. Rashica prevails in front of the penalty area against two Dortmunders and pulls off. Hitz lets you slap forward and there is already Davie Selke thundering the pill under the crossbar! The tour is not even undeserved.
16.Min: Toooooooooooooooooor for Werder Bremen. Davie Selke dusted for 1-0!
13.Min: Werder has not done so badly here so far. Dortmund clearly makes the game. But the wide-awake Bremen people keep putting pinpricks. Due to the chance in the 11th minute it could already be 1-0.
Werder Bremen versus Borussia Dortmund in the live ticker - first good chance for Werder!
11.Min: And suddenly the opportunity for Werder! Selke claims the ball well in the Dortmund penalty area. He sets back on Klaassen, but the Dutch shoot just over the goal. Too bad there was the tour.
10.Min: Werder tries hard in the counter game. Dortmund places itself far in front of the penalty area, but still no complete Bremen attack allows. Dortmund naturally with a lot of possession.
7.Min : Osako chips the ball over the Dortmund defense chain. Rashica had lurked, but Hitz is there.
6.Min: Nice tackle from Moisander, who can send Rashica. But the Kosovar takes too long to bring the ball forward quickly.
4.Min: First chance for BVB. Hakimi can flank from the right into the middle. Vogt can just barely head to the corner, which brings nothing.
3.Min: Dortmund directly over tens of ball possession stations. Werder without access so far.
1.Min: let's go. The ball is rolling.
8:45 pm: Referee of the game today is Guido Winkmann.
8:44 pm: When the two teams march in, the east curve shines with large green and white flags and banners. Strong image.
"THIS IS US! THIS IS US! THIS IS US!"

8:42 p.m .: Let's start! The protagonists are already in the player tunnel.
20.37 clock: Werder new signing Davie Selke should help today. Committed to Hertha BSC's Deadline Day, for many he is one of the glimmers of hope in the currently disappointing Bremen squad.
8:34 pm: Werder is 121 years old today. At best, they'll give themselves a present today and beat BVB again. And the best thing to do is go ahead with Union on Saturday. There is a lot to do well.
Werder Bremen against Borussia Dortmund in the live ticker - Kohfeldt wants to take off the backpack of the past few weeks
8:27 pm: Florian Kohfeldt speaks in the ARD interview that everything doesn't matter what was and everything doesn't matter what comes next. This game is a chance to take off the backpack of the past few weeks and to provide the special moments for which this stadium stands in this cup game. Despite the situation in the league, it is not bad to look forward to the game today and to set peaks against the opponent via own possession phases. "We want to get ahead!" Said Kohfeldt with conviction.
8:23 pm: Milot Rashica, Claudio Pizarro and Martin Harnik. That was the name of the goal scorers almost exactly a year ago. At least two of these three could provide great moments again today.
8:19 p.m .: Perhaps the Werders' players looked back at the game from last year when Werder sensationally reached the next round 4-2 after a penalty shoot-out in Dortmund.
8:15 p.m .: But at the risk of having to throw three euros into the notorious phrase pig: "The trophy has its own laws!" The Weserstadion is packed full of heat and eager to advance to the quarter-finals.
8:11 p.m .: If you look at the results of the black and yellow from the last few weeks, you can get scared. 5: 3 against Augsburg, 5: 1 against Cologne, 5: 0 against Union Berlin. If Lucien Favre's elf continues his series, Pavlenka does not have to reach behind only once today.
8:08 p.m .: After a shockingly weak performance in recent weeks, quite a few Werder fans fear a debacle against Dortmund, who has recently been so strong. It remains to be hoped that Werder will keep the 0-0 for a long time, so that the team does not fall apart early.
8:03 pm: Nick Woltemade is not even on the bench today after his Bundesliga debut this weekend. We are not aware of any injury.
Werder Bremen against Borussia Dortmund in the live ticker - Osako and Veljkovic for Toprak and Sahin
19:55: Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt is surprising again: After Nick Woltemade's Bundesliga debut last Saturday in Augsburg, Yuya Osako's return to the starting line-up is somewhat surprising. The recently neglected Japanese player can start in the cup against Dortmund - and probably as a playmaker. Now he can show what he's made of. Davie Selke and Milot Rashica form the storm in front of him. The 17-year-old Woltemade has to go back to the bank.
And there are two other starting eleven changes compared to the last game: The two ex-Dortmunds Nuri Sahin and Ömer Toprak are initially not there , for them Milos Veljkovic and the last suspended Marco Friedl slip into the team. It should also be about freshness. The 30-year-olds Toprak and Sahin are no longer the youngest.
At the back, Kohfeldt should trust a triple chain with Niklas Moisander, Kevin Vogt and Veljkovic. Friedl and Leonardo Bittencourt are supposed to defend on the outside. Davy Klaassen and Maximilian Eggestein are responsible for the center and hopefully in better shape than last. A chain of four is also possible, then Vogt would move up to six and Bittencourt would play right-back.
19:53: At BVB, Marwin Hitz plays for Roman Bürki. Erling Haaland also remains outside for the time being. But there shouldn't be a shortage of goals. In addition to Captain Reus, Lucien Favre also leaves Julian Brandt. Thorgan Hazard and Jadon Sancho emerge. Cheers meal!

7.40 p.m .: It starts with the lineups of both teams. What will Florian Kohfeldt change after the Augsburg game?
19:38: floodlight time in the Weser Stadium! Welcome to the live ticker for the DFB Cup game between Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund.
On the preliminary report of February 2, 2020:
DFB Cup game against Dortmund: "Outrageous outsider", but Werder Bremen hopes for initial spark
Bremen - Basically, one name is currently enough to immediately recognize that this DFB Cup game on Tuesday evening will be an extremely unequal duel. That Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund are moving in completely different spheres before the round of 16, which begins at 8:45 p.m. in the Weser Stadium. The name is: Erling Haaland.
Winter shopping in Dortmund, which came from RB Salzburg for 20 million euros, was now on the pitch three times in the Bundesliga. He scored seven goals. And it doesn't even require the full game time.
Werder Bremen is fighting before the DFB Cup round of 16 against BVB
The three-pack after his substitution in Augsburg, Haaland, also as a joker, was followed by a double against Cologne before he was in the starting line-up against Union Berlin for the first time - and scored twice again. Just for comparison: The entire Werder squad needed nine games for their last seven goals. Dortmund has scored 15 times after the winter break alone.
"We are the blatant outsider", Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt knows, "Dortmund is currently in an absolute flow. We don't. ”Of course, given the impending situation in the league, the 37-year-old is currently having much more fundamental concerns than a possible exit from the DFB Cup . On Saturday, four days after the round of 16 , Union Berlin comes to Bremen - clearly the more important game for Werder's future. And still: Kohfeldt is fighting against the BVB before the new edition of the round of 16. "We have to annoy them with pinpricks and we will try everything to go one round."
Werder Bremen doesn't want to give DFB-Pokal like that
In the previous year Werder Bremen had done an impressive job against BVB. In Dortmund, the team prevailed after a memorable game with 7: 5 after penalties. "At that time we saw what cup successes can do with a team," said sports director Frank Baumann. Werder had been unbeaten for nine games after their Bundesliga triumph, scoring 19 points during that period. Baumann is now hoping for a similar effect - even if it is clear to him that there is nothing to suggest that his team will succeed before the duel, on the contrary: there is even a fear of a debacle . However, the manager believes that the value of the game should be downplayed beforehand.
"We won't just give the trophy away like that," he emphasizes, "because the game against Dortmund is a chance to regain confidence and to play up more courageously because we don't feel the pressure like in the league." His players seem to do the same crave. "It will be a very big challenge for us," said Davy Klaassen. "But I'm looking forward to it." (Dco)
