SV Werder Bremen lost the Bundesliga game against Mainz 05 with 0:2 – the soaring has stopped for now.

The game report of the DeichStube.

Bremen – With their third win in a row,

could have placed themselves in the top group of the Bundesliga table on Saturday afternoon, but nothing came of it in the end – on the contrary.

The team of head coach Ole Werner had to admit defeat against

in their own stadium after an extremely mixed performance with 0:2 (0:1), which stopped the sporting high flight of the promoted team for the time being.

It was the fourth away win for Mainz this season.

The attackers Marcus Ingvartsen (36th) and Jae-Sung Lee (66th) shot him out.

Werder Bremen vs. Mainz 05: Early chances for both sides - Marvin Ducksch misses the lead

As expected, Werder coach Werner compensated for the absence of defense boss Milos Veljkovic (tendon irritation) by bringing on Amos Pieper.

The 24-year-old returned to the starting XI after two matchdays and played for the first time in a competitive game in the center of Bremen's back three.

Otherwise,

And

, that was clear in the early stages, wanted to continue the winning streak.

The home side could have taken the lead after just a few seconds, if not had to.

However,

did not finish precisely enough after a nice attack via Romano Schmid, Niclas Füllkrug and Niklas Stark, who had moved up with him.

clearly dictated the pace and rhythm of the game .

Above all, Schmid, who was extremely enthusiastic about the game, repeatedly boosted his team's attacks and thus initiated dangerous actions.

The problem:

's offensive was not consistent enough.

The best chance to lead was missed by Füllkrug, who failed to hit the ball properly after a nice counterattack via Schmid and Ducksch (12').

Mainz, who haven't won four times in a row in the

, largely let their opponents have the ball and rely on quick transitions.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the guests reappeared in front of the gate – and how!

After a nice combination, Karim Onisiwo had an eye for Leandro Barreiro, who forced

goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka to do a brilliant job (29').

A little later, however, the Czech was powerless: he couldn't do anything against

's powerful header (36').

Werder had previously lost the ball after a clearance in midfield, shortly afterwards Danny da Costa crossed into the penalty area with pinpoint accuracy, where goalscorer Ingvartsen was faster than opponent Pieper.

The central defender looked unhappy in the situation because he had

lost sight of in his back.

"In a scene like this, it's very difficult for a defender to stay in the middle," the injured Veljkovic defended his deputy on the "Sky" microphone and saw the mistake elsewhere: "Mainz had a lot Time to flank.”

In the second half the game developed

Ole Werner reacted relatively early and brought on Niklas Schmidt for Ilia Gruev to give his team's offensive new impetus (62').

However, the new man was hardly on the pitch before Mainz scored the second goal.

After a counterattack, Anton Stach prevailed against Stark and served the rushing Lee, who made it 2-0 in the penalty area (66th).

Bitter for Werder: Pieper had deflected the ball untenably for Pavlenka when trying to save.

On the other side, a few minutes later, it was Mainz goalkeeper Robin Zentner who, with a strong reaction, prevented Ducksch from making a quick connection with Bremen (70').

Werder Bremen ultimately lost 2-0 to Mainz 05, who took another three points from the Weser Stadium, and deservedly so.

After a passable initial phase with good chances, Bo Svensson's match plan worked perfectly.

A lack of penetrating power and unnecessary goals conceded ensure that the high flight is stopped.

On Wednesday, Werder will be fighting SC Paderborn to advance to the round of 16 in the DFB Cup.

1 min:

Now Robert Hartmann has kicked off the game.

Bremen in green and white, Mainz in red and white.

Werder plays unusually in the first half on the east curve

3:33 p.m .:

The game starts with a little delay.

3:28 p.m .:

It’s about to start!

The teams enter the field, led by captains Friedl and Zentner.

Good atmosphere in the Weser Stadium!

3:24 p.m .:

The game’s referee is Robert Hartmann.

He had already whistled at the 2-2 home game against Stuttgart.

3:17 p.m .:

In the Sky interview,

emphasizes that recently you have often acted at the maximum.

Only with this maximum can one be successful again today.

The change in personnel from Veljkovic to Pieper does not cause him any stomach ache.

The interaction between the strong right and Pieper in the middle had already been tried out in the test match against Hanover.

3:14 p.m .:

The general trend in Mainz has been positive for a long time.

About two years ago, the Palatinate were already written off.

When Bo Svensson took over for Achim Beierlorzer, things went steadily uphill.

Last season ended in 8th place.

3:05 p.m .:

This is opposed to today’s opponent from Mainz.

With three wins, three draws and three defeats, the FSV is currently in 12th place in the table - only three points behind Werder.

They were able to draw 1-1 against Leipzig last week.

In addition, you could score points against Union Berlin and Mönchengladbach this season.

The people of Bremen should therefore be warned.

3 p.m .:

Just under half an hour until kick-off in Bremen’s Weser Stadium!

Werder would temporarily jump to second place with a win.

Who would have thought that possible before the season.

2:58 p.m .:

The current leader in the top scorer list –

– has a total of five more goals .

Whether Hansi Flick has an eye on him again today has not yet been handed down, but the World Cup chances seem more realistic than ever just five weeks before the start of the World Cup.

2:47 p.m .:

The best scorer in the Rhineland-Palatinate is currently Karim Onisiwo with three goals.

2:42 p.m .:

Some Bundesliga experience in the Mainz starting lineup.

Coach Bo Svensson's team is formed like this: Zentner - Hack, Kohr, Fernandes - Aáron, Barreiro, Stach, da Costa - Lee, Ingvartsen, Onisiwo.

2:38 p.m .: So

comes back for the injured Veljkovic

.

This was recently ousted by Niklas Stark.

Today, for the first time, both are allowed to start at the same time.

2.35 p.m .:

Ole Werner has to do without

(tendon irritation in the thigh),

(muscular problems) and

(illness) today.

Among the beneficiaries are Eren Dinkci and Benjamin Goller, who otherwise hardly benefit from a squad nomination at the moment.

2:33 p.m .:

These players are waiting on the bench to be used: Zetterer, Chiarodia, Agu, Buchanan, Stage, Dinkci, Schmidt, Goller, Burke

Werder is fifth, the fans dream of Europe and of their favorite Niclas Füllkrug taking part in the World Cup.

Only Werner, as usual, responds to the hype with stoic calm and only lets things go when the traditional free market question is asked.

Schon gelesen? So könnte die Startelf-Aufstellung von Werder Bremen gegen Mainz 05 aussehen!

Dabei musste sich das Team auf einen etwas anderen Gegner als zuletzt Hoffenheim oder Mönchengladbach einstellen. „Mainz 05 spielt sehr intensiv Fußball und sehr geradlinig nach vorne. Sie haben ein gutes Verhalten beim zweiten Ball“, berichtet Werner und liefert seine Lösung gleich mit: „Wir müssen gut umschalten und dürfen beim Gegenpressing nicht zu oft hängen bleiben. Und wir müssen es gegen die Mainzer Aggressivität und Körperlichkeit schaffen, auch Fußball zu spielen.“ Der Tabellenzwölfte sei zwar nicht eins zu eins mit dem FC Augsburg zu vergleichen, aber es könnte mindestens genauso unangenehm werden wie gegen die Schwaben, mahnt Werner. Zur Erinnerung: Nach einem teilweise überharten Kampf verlor Werder Bremen gegen den FCA mit 0:1.

Werder Bremen gegen Mainz 05 im Liveticker: Mannschaft der Stunde? Trainer Ole Werner lässt der Hype kalt

Das war schon ein kleiner Rückschlag für die Grün-Weißen, die sich davon aber schnell erholten und aus den nächsten drei Partien sieben Punkte holten. Dafür gab es den Titel „Mannschaft der Stunde“, Werder Bremen ist in aller Munde. Doch Ole Werner lässt das kalt. „Du kannst nur deinen Job machen, wenn du die Dinge, die um dich herum diskutiert oder über dich gesprochen werden, ein Stück weit ausblenden kannst“, lautet sein Credo. Übrigens auch bei der Personalie Niclas Füllkrug. Und der Führende der Torschützenliste würde den WM-Wirbel um seine Person genauso entspannt an sich vorbeiziehen lassen und nur an Werder denken, betont Werner.

That can't do any harm, because Bremen are waiting for seven games in 28 days, starting with the game against
