showed a few decent offensive approaches in the stadium on the Berliner Ring in Verden, Lower Saxony, especially in the first round, but also allowed the opponent too many chances to score in the entire 90 minutes .

The Oldenburg team scored the only goal in the first round - but for Werder: After Lasse Rosenboom had won the ball, Oldenburg

was only able to deflect a sharp cross from

Werder coach

had one of the three newcomers in the starting XI of

in the first game of the summer preparations

ordered.

And Pieper celebrated a decent debut overall.

One scene in particular caught the eye: In the early stages, the tall central defender saved once in dire need against ex-Bremer Max Wegner (5th), who was ready to score.

At the other end, Marc Schröder from the Bremen U23s only hit the bar after a corner from Niklas Schmidt (7th).

VfB also presented themselves in an offensive manner: winger Ayo Adetula missed two good chances to score (24th/35th).

In the second half, Werner completely replaced his eleven, which didn't stop the flow of the game in the first few minutes.

But then it was the Oldenburgs who turned the game in their favor.

First, VfB striker

from a free kick against Eduardo dos Santos Haesler who had no chance to equalize (53').

And it was to get even worse from Bremen's point of view: after a long ball, substitute newcomer

let the already shaken off Ifeadigo snatch the ball away from him, he rounded dos Santos Haesler, who had rushed out, and effortlessly pushed in to make it 2-1 for VfB (61st minute). .).

The unfortunate action was preceded by a classic misunderstanding between the new defender and the keeper.

Werder Bremen blunders lead to a friendly defeat against VfB Oldenburg

At the latest after the Oldenburg double strike, Bremen clearly found it difficult to get back into the game.

Instead of equalizing, the green-whites, who still wore the black jerseys from the previous season, even conceded the goal to make it 1: 3 - and in the worst possible way:

had a throw-in from the corner flag into his own penalty area in the direction of the third Bremen newcomer

thrown.

However, the ball came so imprecisely that Oldenburg's Marco Schultz only had to push it into the Bremen goal to make it 1:3.

5:54 p.m .: And that’s the end of it.

A good first half and a weak second half mean a 1:3 (1:0) defeat for SV Werder against VfB Oldenburg.

There's still a lot of work waiting for coach Ole Werner.

We say goodbye at this point and see you at the next Werder Test!

90 min:

Bittencourt again with a cheeky shot from 40 meters, but over the Oldenburg goal.

88 min:

It remains the case in the final phase of the game that Werder in particular does not get any highlights against the third division team, who simply do it smarter in the crucial situations.

84 min:

It's the first test match of the season and the opponent with Oldenburg is certainly not a sure-fire success, but you can expect a little more resistance and cleverness from a Bundesliga promoted team like Werder Bremen.

The second half leaves a lot to be desired here, even if Bittencourt comes to an end with a flick – but over it.

82 min:

Actually, you learn early on in your youth that throw-ins should not go into your own penalty area if an opponent is nearby.

Apparently Rapp didn't have that in mind when he threw the ball right into Marco Schulz's feet.

All he needs to do is keep his foot in and make it 3-1.

80 min: Goal for Oldenburg, the 1: 3 is a big buck from Rapp.

77 min:

Ducksch is placed in the penalty area, of course he gets a free kick for it, but shoots it right into the arms of goalkeeper Moritz Onken.

76th min:

3,333 spectators are in the stadium today.

75 min:

We would like to give you more information about the game, but nothing interesting is happening.

Symbolically Agu, who has a lot of time and space here, but then crosses from the half field and moves far, far.

71 min:

Dos Santos Haesler has to grab it, although there was no opponent far and wide: he picked a long shot from the Oldenburg half in front of his box, which might have fit.

69 min:

It goes on.

67 min:

Hendrik Duschner asks for a drink break for the second time this Saturday afternoon.

65 min.

Of course that wasn't implied, but it is what it is.

Werder Bremen against VfB Oldenburg – test match in the live ticker: Oldenburg turns the game early after the restart

63 min:

Again it is the man with the difficult-to-spell name, Ireadigo, who scores for VfB.

Niklas Stark misjudges a long ball from the left, Ifeadigo is through, puts the ball past the storming Dos Santos Haesler and slides into the empty goal.

Of course that shouldn't happen.

61 min: Goal for Oldenburg, that was a mistake!

60 min:

It doesn't bring anything, and the corner kick that follows isn't dangerous either.

58 min:

It is noticeable that the second Werder suit presses much less and allows the opponent a little more.

Nevertheless, Werder still has more possession of the ball and now gets a corner.

55 min:

Affamefuna Ireadigo is the name of the scorer for Oldenburg, who climbs the highest after a candle in the Werder penalty area and heads the ball into the far corner.

The gate fell a bit out of nowhere.

53 min: Goal for Oldenburg.

52 min:

So far a restrained start from both teams.

47 min:

VfB Oldenburg has also changed completely.

Let's see if we can figure out the names.

46 min: The teams are back, it goes on!

5:02 p.m .:

It will continue in a moment, the substitutes have warmed up intensively because they will take over right now.

This gives us the opportunity to announce Werder's line-up for the next 45 minutes:

4.50 p.m .: Referee Dusner ends the first half!

Werder deservedly lead 1-0, a goal that Goller forced by putting in a sharp cross over VfB defender Zietarski.

But Oldenburg also had its chances here and held up well in summer conditions in the stadium on the Berliner Ring in Verden!

45.+1:

Pieper sends the very active Rosenboom on the right, but again it doesn't find a pass in the middle.

The wave continued to roll anyway, and at the end Füllkrug came to an end, which was blocked for a corner.

But it fizzles out with no effect.

44 min:

VfB goalkeeper Boevink has to rush out of his box to reach a half-high ball in front of Füllkrug.

He is a fraction of a second earlier on the ball, so that the attacker runs into nothing.

40 min:

Füllkrug runs towards the goal alone, but Engel pulls his jersey and falls.

That gives yellow for the Oldenburg.

Merciful, but it's only a test game.

38 min:

Füllkrug is a bit lucky as Schmidt lets a Rosenboom pass slip through, which is how the ball lands on the striker who finishes instantly – Broevink flies and wins.

35 min:

Oldenburg can free itself from the Werder press, after a wide ball Adetula appears in front of Zetterer.

His graduation is just to the right.

The next really good chance in this open game!

33 min:

Schmidt directly with the next shot from 17, 18 meters, his shot just misses to the left.

32 min:

Oldenburg makes a serious mistake in the game structure.

Goller is sent into the penalty area, has a lot of time and wants to put a sharp shot in front of goal from the right.

There he only finds Zietarski, who puts the ball in his own goal.

30 minutes: Goal for Werder!

Goller makes it 1-0 for Bremen!

29 min:

Oldenburg dares forward again down the left flank in an attempt to combine into the penalty area, but the Werder defense is alert.

25 min:

There is a short drinking break.

The sun is beating down, it's warm, so it's definitely the right choice!

24 min:

Great chance for Oldenburg!

Groß plays a bad pass right into Adetula's feet, who shoots from 20 yards but hits right into Zetterer's arms.

20 min:

Brand closes for Oldenburg from the turn, but continues to hit the ball over the goal.

18 min:

Woltemade fakes the ball before the sixteen, but then lets Gruev through and starts into the gap where Gruev puts the ball.

However, Goller does not get the cross from the baseline under control.

15 min:

Goller almost ran towards the goal alone after his opponent slipped.

But VfB goalkeeper Boevink smelled the situation, is very attentive and clears well in front of his own goal.

14 min:

Woltemade plays a one-two with Rosenboom and then somehow wants to muddle through between two Oldenburgers, but gets stuck on the sixteen.

13 min:

Oldenburg with two shots after a corner kick, but the Werder defense can clear both times.

The third division plays courageously and offensively.
