Dortmund – huge cheers at SV Werder Bremen!

The Green-Whites win 3-2 at Borussia Dortmund on the third matchday after being 2-0 down.

The game report of the DeichStube.

The game seemed lost long ago, 2-0 down at

, but

still had answers ready on Saturday afternoon – and what kind of answers!

Substitutes Lee Buchanan (89'), Niklas Schmidt (90'+3') and Oliver Burke (90'+5') turned Signal-Iduna-Park upside down with their goals and gave the team of head coach Ole Werner the first Victory of the

season.

And it wasn't undeserved - after all, the guests had been the better team of the afternoon for long stretches.

Incidentally, numerous fans from both camps were only able to attend the game late or not at all because Dortmund Central Station was completely closed due to signal box damage on Saturday morning.

Werder Bremen wins a crazy game at Borussia Dortmund after being 2-0 down 3-2

Compared to the 2-2 draw against VfB Stuttgart, Werner had only made one change to his starting line-up: Christian Groß returned to the team after the infection had healed and replaced Ilia Gruev in sixth place.

's route

before the game at

shortly before kick-off: "We want to show a certain aggressiveness again in the high start and have to help each other if we are outplayed." That's exactly what the guests did during of the first half then impressively for long stretches - before there was still a cold shower through

shortly before the break whistle .

In the 47th minute, it was Bremen-born Julian Brandt who gave

a 1-0 lead.

From the right wing, the

international moved in resolutely and shot the ball into the near post with his left – turning the game upside down.

had previously been

much closer to the lead in Signal Iduna Park.

Newcomer Jens Stage had the first really good chance of the game, heading over the goal after a free kick by captain Marco Friedl in the penalty area (21').

At that point at the latest it was clear that Bremen didn't just want to rely on defending against the favorites - quite the opposite.

Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund: Bremen have better chances, but BVB takes the lead

With a mixture of disciplined defensive work, in which Leonardo Bittencourt in particular shone as the ball conqueror, and courageous advances,

managed to prevent

from developing in their own stadium.

After a nice cross from Bittencourt, Dortmund-born Marvin Ducksch could have taken the lead, but his direct acceptance was too central and ultimately wasn't a problem for BVB goalkeeper Gregor Kobel (34').

Just a minute later, Ducksch's strike partner, Niclas Füllkrug, didn't aim accurately enough with his left.

On the other hand, there was little to see from the hosts offensively, which changed in the 38th minute.

goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka had to save against Anthony Modeste in dire straits and suffered a painful headshot as the

striker pulled through.

consequently saw a yellow card.

Pavlenka, who had just recovered from a broken nose, was able to continue after a short break in treatment.

After Ducksch's free-kick failed shortly thereafter against the strongly reacting Kobel (43rd), everything looked as if it would go into the dressing room goalless.

It probably would have been if Bremen hadn't switched off 60 seconds too early, given Brandt too much space and conceded the 0:1.

"We had Dortmund well under control, but unfortunately didn't take our chance and then allowed ourselves to be inattentive," complained

at half-time.

However, the conceded goal did not bring the guests out of their rhythm.

There was excitement in the 54th minute when Mats Hummels flew the ball into his arm in his own penalty area.

However, because the

defender was on the ground and supported himself with his arm, referee Florian Badstübner did not decide on handball.

Werder's protests were then limited.

The guests preferred to keep trying and had the next good chances through Anthony Jung (59th) and Ducksch (60th) – but they didn’t bring any results either.

And so it happened that on the other side, at the beginning of the final phase, the presumed preliminary decision was made.

54 min:

Good combination of Bittencourt, Ducksch and Füllkrug in which Hummels' supported hand is in play.

No penalty because it wasn't intentional.

Borussia lets Werder come a bit.

halftime.

After a strong first half, Werder have to go into the dressing room with a 0-1 deficit.

However, the appearance of the guests encourages us to take something with us today.

45 min+2:

That's bitter.

Werder was the better team in the last twenty minutes and still conceded the 0:1 just before the break.

Brandt is allowed to march freely towards the center on the right just before the penalty area.

Big and young do not attack, so that the native of Bremen is free to shoot and accommodates the ball flat down on the right.

The Bremen goalkeeper is currently being treated while Modeste receives a yellow card.

35 min:

Now the filling jug can do it!

After preparatory work by Jung, he shoots just over the box from a distance.

Werder is here!

34 min:

Bittencourt is wide awake and steals the ball from Bynoe-Gittens before passing Ducksch in the middle.

The direct conclusion is not a problem for Kobel.

31 min:

After half an hour, Werder is still in the game.

The front is still a little lacking in determination, but in the back Pieper and Weiser in particular have everything under control on the right-hand side.

Anthony Modeste is not yet a factor.

29 min:

Justified yellow card for Niclas Füllkrug, who hits Schlotterbeck with his arm in the face.

The warned man gets really upset because he was hit in the face by Can shortly before, unnoticed.

27 min:

Hummels clears the corner after a nice pass from Füllkrug to Bittencourt.

But the second corner remains just as safe as the following Dortmund counterattack.

24 min:

BVB has more of the game, but Werder can by no means be undermined here.

Again and again, Ole Werner's team tries to offer forward-looking football.

Too bad, there was more in it!

Mo Dahoud has to be substituted after a harmless foul on Leo Bittencourt.

He's holding his shoulder.

Emre Can replaces him.

Get well soon!

15 min:

At BVB, the 18-year-old Englishman Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is repeatedly staged.

So far, his speed and dribbling strength have not been able to do anything against Weiser.

12 min:

Füllkrug unnecessarily loses the ball in midfield and thus creates the next Dortmund chance.

Reus prevails against several Bremen players in the penalty area and is then cleanly tackled by Pieper.

10 min:

Friedl leaves his foot in a half position against Reus.

The foul takes the free kick himself, but fails at Ducksch's head.

6. Min

: Bittencourt snoops nicely on Ducksch, who brings the ball into the middle from the outside.

This brings nothing.

Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund - the preliminary report:

Gegen Borussia Dortmund „nicht nur verteidigen“: Werder Bremen will beim BVB die eigenen Stärken zur Geltung bringen

Der SV Werder Bremen ist am Samstag (15.30 Uhr im DeichStube-Liveticker) im Signal-Iduna-Park bei Borussia Dortmund zu Gast. Nach zwei Unentschieden zum Saisonstart hoffen die Grün-Weißen darauf, auch beim BVB etwas Zählbares einfahren zu können. Der Vorbericht der DeichStube.

Bremen - Ole Werner kennt die Gegebenheiten, die ihn am Samstagnachmittag erwarten werden, schließlich wird es nicht sein erster Besuch an diesem ganz speziellen Ort des deutschen Fußballs. Die Gästekabine, die Trainerbank, den Spielertunnel, die Interviewzone – all das hat sich der 34-Jährige im Mai 2021 schon einmal aus nächster Nähe angesehen, als Trainer von Holstein Kiel. Mit seiner Mannschaft ging er damals im Signal-Iduna-Park mit 0:5 gegen Borussia Dortmund unter und schied im Halbfinale aus dem DFB-Pokal aus. Wie sich das vollständige Erlebnis Fußball beim BVB anfühlt, erfuhr der heutige Trainer des SV Werder Bremen dabei jedoch nicht.

„Es war ein Geisterspiel ohne Fans im Stadion“, erinnert sich der Chefcoach von Werder Bremen, der mit seinem Team am Samstag ab 15.30 Uhr vor über 80 000 Zuschauern beim BVB antreten wird und so betrachtet zu seiner richtigen Premiere gegen Borussia Dortmund kommt. „Uns erwartet eine besondere Atmosphäre und auch eine besondere Herausforderung aufgrund der Qualität des Gegners“, weiß Ole Werner, lässt aber keinen Zweifel daran aufkommen, dass Werder fest entschlossen ist, die Außenseiterrolle in dem Bundesliga-Duell bestmöglich zu nutzen.

Werder Bremen zu Gast bei Borussia Dortmund: Ole Werner freut sich auf besondere Atmosphäre im Signal-Iduna-Park

„Es wird wichtig sein, dass wir nicht nur verteidigen, auch wenn das sicherlich die Grundlage sein wird. Wir müssen es auch immer wieder schaffen, Gefahr auszustrahlen, wenn wir bestehen wollen“, sagte Werder Bremens CoachOle Werner, dessen Team an den ersten beiden Spieltagen gegen Wolfsburg (2:2) und Stuttgart (2:2) jeweils gezeigt hatte, dass es Gegner in der Bundesliga mit entschlossenem Offensivfußball phasenweise in Not bringen kann.

Diese Ansätze sollen möglichst auch bei Werders Bundesliga-Spiel bei Borussia Dortmund wieder zu sehen sein, wobei Ole Werner natürlich bewusst ist, dass der Gegner für sehr viel Arbeit in der Bremer Defensive sorgen wird: „Es ist doch vollkommen klar, dass es auswärts in Dortmund Phasen geben wird, in denen die große Qualität des Gegners sichtbar ist“, sagte der Trainer von Werder Bremen – und schob hinterher: „Das geht jeder Mannschaft in Deutschland und Europa so.“

Werder Bremen gegen Borussia Dortmund: Ole Werner fordert Mannschaft auf, nicht nur zu verteidigen, sondern auch Gefahr auszustrahlen

Ole Werners Rezept, um diese Phasen unbeschadet zu überstehen, liest sich vereinfacht ausgedrückt so: einen kühlen Kopf bewahren. „Wir müssen bei uns bleiben, damit wir die individuelle Qualität des Gegners als Gruppe ausgleichen können.“ Heißt: nicht hektisch werden, die eigenen Abläufe umsetzen und auf dem Platz füreinander da sein. Wenn dann auch noch eine gewisse Portion Spielglück sowie ein günstiger Verlauf der Partie hinzukommen sollten – es wäre sicher nicht schlecht für die Chancen von Werder Bremen, um gegen den BVB am Ende nicht als Verlierer den Platz verlassen zu müssen.

Borussia Dortmund hat an den ersten beiden Spieltagen in der Bundesliga gegen Leverkusen (1:0) und Freiburg (3:1) die Maximalausbeute von sechs Punkten gesammelt und dürfte angesichts der eigenen Ambitionen ein Heimspiel gegen Werder Bremen längst als Pflichtaufgabe betrachten. Nur sagt das natürlich niemand öffentlich beim BVB. Chefcoach Edin Terzic sprach während der Pressekonferenz vor dem Spiel davon, dass Werder „kein klassischer Aufsteiger“ und deshalb nicht zu unterschätzen sei. Eine Formulierung, die den Bremern zuletzt öfter begegnet ist und noch öfter begegnen wird. An der „großen Vorfreude auf dieses Spiel“ (Werner) ändert sie freilich nichts: Werder fühlt sich bereit.

So seht ihr das Bundesliga-Spiel zwischen Borussia Dortmund und Werder Bremen live im TV und im Live-Stream!

BVB-Trainer Edin Terzic: „Werder Bremen ist kein klassischer Aufsteiger“

In general, as Clemens Fritz emphasized as head of professional football, he would like an exciting title race in the

would of course be important.

"If Dortmund maintains the stability they currently have, I trust them to play for the championship," said the ex-professional of

A positive side effect from Bremen's point of view:
