SV Werder Bremen scored a point with a 1-1 away win against Bayer Leverkusen.
The goal scorers were Ömer Toprak and Patrik Schick.
The game report of the DeichStube *.
Leverkusen - redress successful: With a 1: 1 (0: 0) at
Bayer Leverkusen
,
Werder Bremen
rehabilitated on Saturday for the extremely weak performance in the 0: 2 against Union Berlin a week earlier.
In terms of play, it was again a not at all convincing performance, the point earned the table-14.
but with self-sacrificing defense work.
Ömer Toprak
had put SV Werder in the lead after 52 minutes, Patrik Schick equalized in minute 70.
After the union match, which was alarming in nature and outcome, coach
Florian Kohfeldt
clearly demanded a reaction from his team.
“We were all really angry after this game.
You have to be able to see that against Leverkusen, ”he said and then showed who he was particularly angry with: Yuya Osako.
The Japanese, against Union with an indisputable performance, was missing in the Bremen squad.
For the first time Kohfeldt left the midfielder out of his own free will.
Explanation: “This is not a dismantling.
Yuya should clear her head. "
Werder Bremen versus Bayer Leverkusen: Tough game in the first half
For Osako, Jean-Manuel Mbom moved into the starting line-up of
SV Werder Bremen
.
Other changes: Milos Veljkovic replaced the injured Christian Groß, Kevin Möhwald pushed Leonardo Bittencourt out of the starting line-up and instead of Romano Schmid Tahith Chong came on the offensive.
Davie Selke and Niclas Füllkrug, the two recovered center strikers, initially took their places on the bench.
The eleven chosen by Kohfeldt formed a defensive 5-3-2 system on the field, which was primarily aimed at destroying the Leverkusen game.
At first, Werder did not seem interested in their own constructive actions.
A game developed in the first half that ex-Bayer goalscorer Stefan Kießling described and aptly rated on the Sky microphone as "pretty tough, not for football fans".
Werder Bremen against Bayer Leverkusen: Ömer Toprak scores 1-0 for Werder
Bayer Leverkusen
, which was just as eager to make amends after two defeats in a row as
SV Werder Bremen
, dominated the game from the start and had early chances through Moussa Diaby (2nd) and Leon Bailey (9th).
Werder, on the other hand, had great difficulties carrying the ball forward in a structured manner.
Long balls were mostly the method of choice - and most of them ended up with the Leverkusen team, who had hardly any problems keeping their opponents under control.
The only exceptions: Josh Sargent just jumped past a free-kick from Ludwig Augustinsson (27th), and Kevin Möhwald was barely scraped off Kerem Demirbay at the height of the penalty spot (29th).
The fact that it went into the break with a 0-0 break was absolutely in keeping with what was happening on the pitch.
But at least: Werder had shown the reaction Kohfeldt wanted to see in terms of duel combat and viciousness.
Not nice, but functional - that was Werder's conclusion in the first 45 minutes.
Not nice, but suddenly even successful - that was the headline over the Bremen performance after seven minutes in the second half.
Out of nowhere,
Ömer Toprak brought
the guests into the lead.
After an Augustinsson free kick, the defender came free six meters in front of the goal and turned the Bremen lead cool.
For Toprak, who played 203 competitive games for Bayer 04 between 2011 and 2017, it was the first goal in the Werder jersey and the first in the
Bundesliga
in almost four years.
The last time he scored was on January 22nd, 2017 - for Leverkusen in a 3-1 win against Hertha BSC.
Werder Bremen versus Bayer Leverkusen: Patrik Schick-Tor counts after minutes of VAR consultation - 1: 1
And now the goal that made Bremen hope for a surprise in third place.
They kept hoping when the ball was in their own goal after 70 minutes.
Patrik Schick
had promoted him there, but template
provider Lucas Alario
was suspected of a handball.
Which is why referee Benjamin Cortus initially decided not to score, but then changed his decision after minutes of consultation in the Cologne video cellar.
The goal counted and Werder lost the lead.
Various camera settings showed that the decision was ultimately correct.
So no reason for Werder to complain.
The equalization did not change the direction of the game.
Leverkusen continued to pressure and
Werder Bremen
resisted.
Only coach Kohfeldt set offensive accents.
After Davie Selke had come for Chong after an hour, Niclas Füllkrug and Romano Schmid replaced Josh Sargent and Kevin Möhwald ten minutes before the end.
So fresh strength for the attack, but no fresh chances for Bremen, which consistently stuck to 5-3-2.
If there were counter opportunities, either the precision was missing - as with Schmid's pass to Füllkrug (88th).
Or the confidence - as with Selke, who broke off his advance in his own half for inexplicable reasons (90th).
Bremen were very lucky that a handball by Mbom in the turmoil of the penalty area was not punished.

Final score: 1: 1
Final whistle. Werder scores in Leverkusen. The goalscorer was ex-Leverkusen-based Ömer Toprak, who was spot on after an Augustinsson free kick. Over the entire season, Leverkusen did not manage to create clear scoring chances to put Werder under permanent pressure. The result is by and large okay.

73rd Min:
That was a real thriller.
Lucas Alario apparently takes the ball with his hand after a high cross and then passes on Schick, who hits the goal via Augustinsson.
Referee Cortus decides on handball, but after several minutes of checking, the Cologne basement recognizes that the Argentine international was on the ball with his chest instead of his hand.
After studying the TV pictures, it was quite possible to see that the goal was correct.
What a shame for Werder!
72nd Min: Goal for Bayer Leverkusen. Patrik Schick scores to equalize for Bayer 04.
67.Min:
Selke in a counter-run duel with Schick.

Demirbay from around 18 meters just over the gate.
Augustinsson had previously seen the yellow card for keeping his foot on it in a duel against Bailey.
Werder Bremen against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the live ticker - Ömer Toprak scores 1-0 for Werder Bremen at his old place of work
52nd Min:
That wasn't to be expected directly.
Ömer Toprak, who has played 203 games for Leverkusen, scores for the first time in four years in the Bundesliga.
A free kick by Augustinsson was the starting point.
From a similar position as in the first half at Sargent's chance, he pulls the ball into the penalty area, where Toprak is not covered.
Without being disturbed, he can slide into the Bremen leadership from a few meters.
52nd Min: Toooooooor for Werder Bremen! Ömer Toprak scores against his old club according to a standard.
48.Min
:
Mbom puts the pass from Tah to Schick well.
Furthermore, there are hardly any gaps in Leverkusen.
Werder Bremen against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the live ticker - the second half is running
46th Min:
Benjamin Cortus asks for the second half.
Both coaches have not changed.
Half time in the BayArena. Werder go into the break with a goalless draw, which is not unjustified. Both teams have not yet managed to create compelling chances. Of course, Leverkusen have more of the game. Josh Sargent had the biggest chance for Werder when he narrowly missed the ball after a free kick from the sideline.
4.15 p.m.:
So it is on the other places: Schalke - Hoffenheim 1: 0 / Freiburg - Cologne 2: 0 / Mainz - Frankfurt 0: 1 / Union - Wolfsburg 1: 1
45th min:
The first half gets a second second.
43rd Min:
The direct competition is currently behind on the other places.
Cologne and Mainz are currently lagging behind.
Schalke actually just scored the opening goal against Hoffenheim.
41st Min:
The most dangerous player in the game on paper - Patrik Schick - Werder has very good control.
39.Min:
Apart from Sargent's missed ball in the 27th minute and Bailey's badly caught ball in the early stages of this game, there are no clear scoring chances on either side in the first half.
36th Min:
Peter Bosz calls out "more pressure" on the pitch.
Apparently it is not enough for the Dutch coach of the home team what his team has presented so far.
A few meters further, Florian Kohfeldt will probably not mind.
34th Min:
Even if Leverkusen is the better team, it doesn’t seem that Werder has no chance here.
Again and again, the green-whites and the ball are in the half of Leverkusen.
As is so often the case, there is a lack of creative moments on the offensive.
32nd min:
Now Demirbay from the second row.
Over it.
29.Min:
Sargent claims the ball in midfield against several opponents is worth seeing.
He manages to play the ball into the barrel of Kevin Möhwald, which is severely disturbed by Kerem Demirbay in the penalty area.
27.Min:
Augustinsson brings a free kick from the right into the five-meter space.
Josh Sargent lurks there, but misses the ball by a few inches.
26.Min:
Leverkusen does not yet fully convince through play.
Julian Baumgartlinger therefore tries from the second row.
Pavlenka looks surprised, but doesn't have to intervene because the ball goes past the goal.
24.Min:
Werder does not manage to keep the ball in their own ranks over several stations at a time.
Particularly noteworthy bad pass guarantor: Tahith Chong.
Werder Bremen against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the live ticker - Bayer makes the game, but is not yet compelling enough
22.Min:
Leverkusen's offensive game is not yet really mandatory.
Then it just has to be a hoe through Mbom's legs.
Attractive, but not promising in the long term.
19.Min
:
Werder's strongest offensive player Milot Rashica is still out.
Leverkusen has since refrained from signing the Kosovar.
The last good phase of Werder's Kosovars was some time ago.
18.Min:
Bayer makes the game as expected and has more than two-thirds of the ball in the early stages of the game.
Werder mainly tries on the counterattack.
15.Min:
Moussa Diaby is the most dangerous in the first quarter of an hour.
Again and again he steals away in the back of Veljkovic or Friedl.
13.Min:
Tah puts the next Bremer.
This time he is on Augustinsson's foot.
Werder get a free kick in a promising position, but make too little of it.
12.Min:
Chong is standing again.
It's not that wild.
11.Min
:
Tahith Chong lies on the floor and holds his left knee with a painful look.
Jonathan Tah had dropped his leg.
Cortus didn't see it.
9.Min:
Veljkovic looks bad again.
Diaby again has too much space and passes the ball halfway on Bailey.
He doesn't hit the ball properly.
Luck for Werder.
7.Min:
Leverkusen is awarded a free kick from the half-field after a foul by Friedl.
This is carried out briefly and chipped into the penalty area.
From there it cannot be used any further.
4. Min:
Tactically, the Bremen formation is provided with a five-man chain in Leverkusen ball possession.
The two full-backs Gebre Selassie and Augustinsson, if possible, step up front if they have possession of the ball.
2. Min:
Leverkusen straight forward.
Amiri plays after a bad pass Veljkovic Diaby, who penetrates the Bremen penalty area.
His degree misses the gate.

3:25 p.m.:
It starts in the BayArena in around five minutes.
The referee of the game today is Benjamin Cortus.
3:24 p.m.:
When
asked about
Yuya Osako, Florian Kohfeldt emphasizes in an interview with Sky that it is not about dismantling, that he is not in the squad today.
He rather speaks of a measure that should ensure that the Japanese can clear their heads.
3:19 p.m.:
A little more figures before kick-off:
- The Werkself won only one of the last six Bundesliga home games against Werder - 1-0 in December 2017.
- Werder currently lives mainly from away points.
Nine of the 14 points so far have been taken away from Bremen.
- Werder also won the most recent away game in the league.
The 1-0 win at Mainz 05 a few days before Christmas was Bremen's only win since matchday three.
3:16 p.m .: The
Bosz team's long list of injuries makes hope for three points in Leverkusen.
In addition to the spared youngster Florian Wirtz, Weiser, Bellarabi, Aranguiz, Arias, S. Bender, Palacios and Paulinho are missing - some injured for a long time.
3:10 p.m.:
After the good start to the season, Werder has long been disillusioned.
The number 14 says it all: 14 points after 14 games mean a 14th place in the table, which is expected before the season.
According to Florian Kohfeldt, they are "absolutely on schedule with regard to the seasonal goals".
The relegation place is currently four points away.
2:59 p.m.:
At Werder it looks almost exactly the
other way around
.
After several consecutive games without a win, they scored two wins against Mainz (league) and Hanover (cup) before Christmas, before disappointing again across the board against Union Berlin last week.
2:56 p.m.:
The Werkself have lost two of the last two Bundesliga games (against Bayern and Frankfurt).
Previously, they were unbeaten in twelve games.
In the meantime, this had even led to the championship lead.
2.48 p.m.:
Leverkusen coach Peter Bosz is one of the favorite colleagues of Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt in the Bundesliga - "both in terms of the human aspect and the way he lets football be played".
And certainly a bit because of these statistics: Bosz has not won a home game against Kohfeldt in three attempts.
With Borussia Dortmund there was a defeat, with Leverkusen a defeat and a draw.
14:41:
For Tahith Chong, it is actually the fourth starting-use in the Bundesliga.
No victory has emerged in the three previous attempts.
Against Hertha (1: 4) and Stuttgart (1: 2) there were defeats, against Frankfurt a 1: 1 jumped out.
2.39 p.m.:
Yuya Osako is not in the squad today after a one-on-one conversation with Kohfeldt and several weak games.
2.37 p.m.:
Kapino, Moisander, Gruev, Agu, Schmid, Dinkci, Bittencourt, Selke and Füllkrug take a
seat
on the Bremer Bank.
Werder Bremen against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the live ticker - Tahith Chong gets a new chance from the start
2.34 p.m.:
This Werder line-up smells like a chain of five or three.
Kohfeldt has three central defenders in Veljkovic, Toprak and Friedl.
Outside act (as always) Theodor Gebre Selassie and Ludwig Augustinsson, whose job it will, however, also be to provide overpower in the midfield and, above all, steam forward.
The move in midfield from Osako to Mbom is also one with a defensive background.
Mbom stands for the rather rustic style of football.
On the offensive, counter-
player Tahith Chong is
given preference over penalty area striker Davie Selke, whom Kohfeldt would have thought would be able to start from a purely fitness point of view.
"With him it's enough for 45, maybe 60 minutes - that makes him a candidate for the starting XI," he said.
Now, like Niclas Füllkrug, Selke remains on the bench for the time being.
2.32 p.m.:
The home eleven from Leverkusen can storm Schick, Diaby and Bailey today.
Plenty to do for the Bremen defense.

2.26 p.m.:
Welcome to the live ticker for the Bundesliga game between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Werder Bremen.
The constellations will start soon.
On the preliminary report from January 8, 2021:
Before the duel against Werder Bremen: Bayer Leverkusen wants redress
The
SV Werder Bremen
plays in the Bundesliga away against 15 Round
04 Leverkusen Bayer
.
The opponent weakened last - an unexpected chance?
The preliminary report of the DeichStube *.
Bremen / Leverkusen - Since Florian Kohfeldt has been the coach of
SV Werder Bremen
, there has
not been too much to win for his team
in the games against
Bayer 04 Leverkusen
: In seven duels there was just one win and two draws.
On Saturday, the 38-year-old would like to
improve
this balance in the BayArena from 3:30 p.m. (
live ticker of
the DeichStube).
Much speaks for Werder Bremen before the duel against the table third.
Werder Bremen: opponents Bayer Leverkusen attacking strong and versatile
"We're going to an opponent who is very good," says
Florian Kohfeldt
about the Leverkusen team, who have already scored 28 points on 14 match days.
Above all, the Werkself offensive - with 29 goals behind FC Bayern Munich's (44) the best in the league - has already caused a sensation.
Whether it's Lucas Alario (eight goals), Leon Bailey and Patrik Schick (four goals each) or Nadiem Amiri, Julian Baumgartlinger, Moussa Diaby and Florian Wirtz (all two goals) - there are
many players
in the team of coach
Peter Bosz
.
Which is also due to the fact that
Bayer Leverkusen are
extremely versatile in their attacking game.
"We expect a very counter-strong team, a team with a lot of speed, individual quality, playfulness in the center and many deep runs," says Kohfeldt.
On the defensive side, Bayer 04 are also characterized by strong counter-pressing.
“Your goal is to always have control of the game,” says Kohfeldt.
Most recently, the upcoming opponents of
SV Werder Bremen
had not succeeded too well.
Werder Bremen: Bayer Leverkusen's form weakness a chance for Florian Kohfeldt and Co.?
After
Bayer Leverkusen had not
lost the first twelve matchdays of the
Bundesliga
(eight wins, four draws), they then lost two in a row.
Against Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt it was 1: 2 each.
Perhaps the weakness of form could become an opportunity for Werder.
On the other hand, Leverkusen is likely to face table 14.
Burning for reparation and having a victory firmly planned in any case.
“We played really badly against Frankfurt for the first time in three months.
Before that we did well.
I hope that this performance remains a one-off, "says Bosz - and emphasizes:" We will give everything to win against
Werder Bremen
. "
Clear words, which
Florian Kohfeldt
probably would not have needed - after all, he is so aware of
the difficulty of
the task.
"We have to go to the limit of our capabilities to even have a chance," said the Werder coach, who assumes that he can rely on his players on this point against Leverkusen.
After the desperate appearance against Union Berlin (0-2), Werder also has a lot to make up for - at least when it comes to the points of commitment and passion.
