Highlights: A lot of cramp instead of class: Joker Njinmah lets Werder celebrate in Cologne - and Bremen are once again keeping a clean sheet away from home. Coach Ole Werner's team jumped to seventh place in the table, at least for one night. At the same time, the North Germans set an ancient record: three away wins in a row, in which there was not a single goal conceded, were last achieved in the 1981/82 season, when a certain Otto Rehhagel was still on the sidelines.

Craziness!

Thanks to joker Justin Njinmah, SV Werder Bremen also won their third away game in a row, 1-0 (0-0) against 1. FC Köln.

The DeichStube match report.

Cologne – It wasn’t nice.

Absolutely not.

All the more successful for it.

SV

Werder Bremen

struggled to get three more points on Friday evening, and

1. FC Köln

managed a razor-thin 1-0 (0-0) win thanks to a joker goal from Justin Njinmah.

Coach Ole Werner

's team jumped

to seventh place in the table, at least for one night.

At the same time, the North Germans set an ancient record: three away wins in a row, in which there was not a single goal conceded, were last achieved in the 1981/82 season, when a certain Otto Rehhagel was still on the sidelines.



The starting lineup changed in three positions compared to the 1-2 defeat against Heidenheim last weekend.

As expected, starting eleven debutant

Julian Malatini

replaced Niklas Stark, who had a hip injury, in the back three.

On the right side,

Mitchell Weiser

returned to his regular position after recovering from an adductor injury, Felix Agu moved back to the left wing, while Olivier Deman had to go to the bench.

Justin Njinmah, among others, was also sitting there.

The 23-year-old had recently been in the first eleven six times in a row, and now Ole Werner tried out

Nick Woltemade

alongside

Marvin Ducksch

.

“Nick is someone who can hold the ball in the gaps and secure it when you have to play long.

I believe that this will be more important for us from the start today than the ultimate speed,” explained the coach on the Dazn microphone before the game.

“But Justin will certainly play a role over the course of the game and – as he has often done – bring things to life once again when there are perhaps a bit more space.”

Werder Bremen starts against 1. FC Köln with three changes to the starting eleven

However, momentum was there straight away, after less than 15 seconds Ducksch narrowly missed the goal, and the attacker tried again just under 40 seconds later.

After exactly 75 seconds, Cologne appeared in the opponent's penalty area for the first time, but Werder keeper

Michael Zetterer

was there.

However, things didn't go quite as fast.

The hosts' uncertainty was clearly noticeable after a difficult season so far, and there were some inaccuracies in the build-up to the game.

However, the Bremen team did not act without errors, and there was always a lack of precision in the build-up.

Werder Bremen



had

a slight advantage in terms of play, but the next half chances belonged to the Rhinelanders, who gradually became more courageous, through

Florian Kainz

(31'), Jan Thielmann (33') and Dejan Ljubicic (35').

However, things didn't get really dicey either.

In the 100th

Bundesliga

duel between the two traditional clubs, the half-time break was 0-0 - and neither team spoiled the spectators with the best will in the world.

It is all the more astonishing that there were no personnel changes on the Green-Whites' side after the restart.

Narrow success at 1. FC Köln: Werder Bremen gets their third 1-0 away win in a row

The first good opportunity of the second half still belonged to the Hanseatic League, but a Ducksch header was too central and harmless (48').

Almost in return, captain

Marco Friedl

was called upon to block a shot from Eric Martel in his own penalty area at the last moment.

After that there was a lot of rumbling on both sides again, with a number of bad passes making the whole affair quite unsightly.

The next commotion was caused by some FC supporters who threw tennis balls onto the pitch in protest against the DFL and the investor issue, and even had two remote-controlled mini-vehicles drive across the lawn, causing an interruption of around three minutes.

The short break helped



SV

Werder Bremen .

First, a shot from

Jens Stage

was just blocked for a corner (61'), and with the following standard, Cologne's Timo Hübers almost scored into his own goal.

After the second corner in a row, Stage once again placed a touchdown from a good position over the box.

A little later Werder made their first change,

Justin Njinmah

replacing the ineffective Woltemade (66th).

And the exchange paid off immediately.

The previously unlucky Weiser sent a cross into the penalty area, where Njinmah was in the right place and once again lived up to his reputation as a top joker (70th).



Thanks to the defense: Werder Bremen's away win at 1. FC Köln in the tactics analysis!

Joker Justin Njinmah redeems Werder Bremen with the first touch of the ball - away win at 1. FC Köln

1. FC Köln,

threatened with relegation,

had to react - and that's what they did.

After a corner, the ball landed at Weiser, who involuntarily headed towards his own goal, but Friedl just scraped the ball off the line, preventing the score from being 1-1 and clenching his fist enthusiastically (75').

Just moments later, Justin Diehl

tried

from a distance, but his deflected shot went behind the crossbar and into the goal net.

But the guests also remained dangerous, but Ducksch was denied by keeper Marvin Schwäbe (80').

Shortly afterwards it was over for the Bremen striker as well as for Weiser and Schmid. Rafael Borré, Leonardo Bittencourt and Olivier Deman came on for the final phase, including eight minutes of stoppage time, and later Skelly Alvero came on for Senne Lynen.



And indeed:

Werder Bremen

managed to win - also because there was no real final offensive from Cologne.

It may not have always looked good, but thanks to the result it was still a nice evening in the end.

UPDATE LIVE TICKER

<<<

10:31 p.m.: What a shock victory for Werder.

A game in which neither team really shined.

In the end, Werder simply proved to be more efficient and also had a bit of luck on their side.

The tension was palpable right up to the end as Bremen was never able to improve.

As a result, Cologne had the chance to equalize until the last second, but they were not determined and consistent enough offensively.

10:28 p.m.: And now the game is over.

Werder wins 1-0 in Cologne!



90th Min +8:

Another corner for Cologne.

Confusion in the Bremen penalty area, but the ball finds no taker.

The Cologne team sees a handball, but that didn't happen.



90. Min +6:

Hübers also gets a yellow card because he fouls Njinmah in the penalty area.

This earns Werder a free kick, which is taken briefly.

Nobody comes to the end.



90. Min +5:

A familiar sight this evening: Once again a free kick cross lands in the arms of Werder keeper Zetterer.



90th Min +4:

Werder changes again.

Lynen leaves the pitch, winter newcomer Skelly Alvero is also allowed to play for a few minutes.



90. Min +2:

The yellow card now also for Huseinbasic, who fouls Agu on the sideline.



90th min:

And there are eight minutes of injury time!

Will Cologne still be able to equalize or will Werder win the game?

Meanwhile, Bittencourt complains because he is knocked over in the Cologne penalty area.

But there is no free kick.



88th min:

That was too energetic in the duel: Malatini receives a yellow card from Siebert.



86th min:

Newly substituted Adamyan takes a free kick a good 20 meters from the goal.

But the standard doesn't bring anything.

The ball lands in the wall and becomes an arc lamp.

Zetterer and Kilian collide in the penalty area.

But it continues.



85th min:

This shouldn't be ignored: Because he complained too loudly, Cologne coach Timo Schultz was given a yellow card.



84th min:

Change now also at Cologne: Ljubicic and Schmitz have to go, they are replaced by Steffen Tigges and Florian Dietz.

Werder Bremen in the live ticker against 1. FC Cologne: Triple change at Werder - Cologne also reacts twice

83rd min:

Triple substitution at Werder: Weiser, Ducksch and Schmid have to go out.

Olivier Deman, Rafael Borré and Leonardo Bittencourt are new for the remaining minutes.



80th min:

That could have been 2-0!

Werder appears dangerously in Cologne's penalty area, Stage's cross lands at Ducksch, whose shot is parried by Schwäbe in the right corner.



77th min:

After a dispute, Weiser and Thielmann each receive a yellow card.



76th min:

Cologne is now in control.

Diehl takes a shot from the edge of the penalty area, but his shot is deflected and ultimately lands on the roof of the goal.



75th min

: Diehl tries to dribble against Malatini, the Bremen man only knows how to help himself with a tackle.

There is a corner that lands on the left of the second post at Weiser.

And what does?

Unintentionally heads towards your own goal!

But Friedl clears the line.

That was close!



74th min:

And how does Cologne react?

With a double change.

Linton Maina and Eric Martel are leaving, Sargis Adamyan and Jacob Christensen are new to the game.



72nd min:

Four minutes after being substituted, Njinmah struck again.

In the first leg against Cologne he was there after just one minute.

It can continue like this!

Werder Bremen in the live ticker against 1. FC Köln: Substitute Justin Njinmah puts Werder in the lead!

70th min: And there's a great deal for Werder!

Justin Njinmah strikes!

Once again the noble joker stands out.

Weiser has a lot of space on the right side and crosses to the five-pointer, where Cologne's Schwäbe jumps past the cross.

Njinmah, in turn, is there and pushes the ball flat into the goal.



69th min:

Free kick for Cologne.

Finkgräfe hits the ball into the Bremen penalty area, once again the ball lands directly in the arms of keeper Zetterer.

The standards are significant today.



67th min:

And Cologne also changes for the first time.

Ex-Bremer Florian Kainz has to go, Justin Diehl is new to him.



65th min:

And there is the first change of the game.

The working day is over for Nick Woltemade, he was rather unsuccessful in his actions today.

Justin Njinmah should now do it for him.



62nd min:

Maina Malatini hangs out on the left.

He then pokes the ball past Werder keeper Zetterer.

But there is no other Cologne player in the Bremen penalty area.



61st min:

Double chance for Stage!

First he gets the ball crossed with his head in the penalty area, the shot is blocked by Martel for a corner.

Then Ducksch's standard slips through to the second post, where Stage puts a shot over the crossbar.



59th min:

With a cross from the left, Ducksch looks for his strike partner Woltemade.

But he puts the ball way over.



57th min:

And now we continue!



9:45 p.m.:

The game is currently interrupted, referee Siebert has no other choice.

The playing field must first be cleared.



54th min:

Now fans are throwing tennis balls onto the field.

Your form of protest.

What is new, however, is that remote-controlled cars are now landing on the lawn.

Werder Bremen in the live ticker against 1. FC Köln: Billy Goats are coming into the second half well

51st min:

You have to give the Cologne fans one thing: Even if their team wasn't really convincing that evening, the support is still there.

Whether that also inspires the team.

Schmitz crosses at least twice on the right side of the penalty area, but Agu and Friedl clear for a corner.

The standard that then follows brings nothing.



49th min:

Cologne with the free kick cross by Kainz, which ends up at Martel via a detour.

He's in Bremen's penalty area and shoots from the turn.

However, Werder is alert in the form of Weiser, the defender throws himself in between them and blocks decisively.



48th minute:

Werder finishes: Stage crosses from the right onto Ducksch's head.

However, he aims the ball exactly at Schwäbe.



47th min:

Schmitz crosses from the right side, the ball sails into the Bremen penalty area and directly into the arms of Werder keeper Zetterer.



46th min: And now referee Siebert gives the second half a go!

There are no changes on either side.



9:32 p.m.:

It's about to continue.

It remains to be seen whether the coaches' half-time speeches will be fruitful and both teams will start the second half with a little more creativity and courage.

We are excited.



9:18 p.m.: After a minute of added time, the first half is over.

Referee Siebert is left behind with everyone involved.

What remains to be recorded?

Both teams showed occasional offensive urges, but ultimately were too imprecise and not consistent enough to put the ball dangerously on goal.

A breath of fresh air in the form of personnel changes could definitely do the game some good.



44th min:

Huge commotion in the Bremen penalty area!

Maina beats several Werder kickers on the left, but can't get the ball to Ljubicic.

Bremen's counterattack, on the other hand, was initiated too slowly and was directly stopped by Cologne.



42nd min:

Finkgräfe knows how to get a corner against Malatini.

This is carried out by Kainz, the ball goes towards the first post.

However, Ducksch is fouled there and referee Siebert goes straight to the whistle.



40th min:

Cologne's Huseinbasic sends his teammate Ljubicic into the depths.

But Bremen is wide awake in the form of Friedl and clears the throw-in.

The fact remains: Both teams still lack brilliant ideas, precision and creativity fall by the wayside this evening.



38th min:

So far both teams have fired four shots each.

Neither Werder nor Cologne achieved anything worth counting.



35th min:

Now Cologne has finally discovered the offensive game.

Ljubicic now also tries to shoot from distance.

However, it isn't placed enough, Werder keeper Zetterer can catch it without any problems.

Werder Bremen in the live ticker against 1. FC Köln: Werder is better in the game - but Cologne is becoming braver

33rd min:

Now Thielmann takes a shot with his right foot at the edge of the penalty area.

But the ball goes just past the corner to the right.



32nd min:

Now Cologne tries it too: The Rhinelanders counterattack via Maina and Thielmann, Ljubicic sees Kainz on the left in the penalty area, who is completely free.

But its direct acceptance goes terribly wrong.



31st min:

Werder wants to follow up straight away.

However, Weiser's cross does not reach Woltemade.



30th min:

More would have been possible for Schmid and Werder!

The Austrian receives the ball on the right side from Ducksch, but then prefers to play across again instead of directly looking for the finish.

There is no pass like this.



28th min:

What has made the game so far: repeated ball losses on both sides.

That's why there have been few opportunities for quite some time.



27th min:

And again there is a free kick for Werder.

Ducksch is allowed to compete again and crosses the ball into the Cologne penalty area, where the ball is immediately cleared.

The standards and Bremen don't seem to fit together yet.



26th min:

And there are the first yellow cards of the game.

Kainz and Schmid receive a warning from referee Siebert.

The two had clashed after a duel and argued loudly.



23rd min:

Free kick for Werder!

Ducksch steps up and chips the ball into the hands of keeper Schwäbe.

That was nothing.



21st min:

Cologne Finkgräfe is clearly too late in the duel with Weiser.

But he is also lucky and does not receive a warning from referee Siebert.



18th min:

Corner for Werder.

Ducksch steps up and hits the ball long, but the Cologne team can clear the ball straight away.

The follow-up shot from Lynen, who was positioned in front of the 16, flies over the Cologne goal.



15th min:

With his sole open, Martel is hit in the ankle by Stage.

No intention on the part of Bremen - that's what referee Siebert thinks, who doesn't whistle for a foul.

And Martel can move on.

Werder Bremen in the live ticker against 1. FC Köln: Wild opening phase in the RheinEnergieStadion

12th minute:

Cologne's Finkgräfe is sent down the left flank and enters the Bremen penalty area with the ball at his feet - but his pass finds no taker from his own ranks.

The Bremen defense was able to nip the delicate offensive attempt in the bud and regained possession of the ball.



10th min:

The ball remains in Bremen's half, but Cologne lacks brilliant ideas.

Penetration looks different.



8th min:

After a short, wild initial phase, the game has returned to normal.

Both teams are trying to control and are now neutralizing each other.

5th min:

Bremen presses – and how.

The Cologne team doesn't want to take any risks under pressure; that's not how the game flows properly.



3rd min

: Cologne's Schmitz tackles Bremen's Agu, giving Werder a free kick.

However, it doesn't bring in anything.

2nd min:

Cologne also wants to show directly that they are in the game.

The Rhinelanders play forward quickly, but Ljubicic's cross doesn't reach.



2nd min:

And ducksh again!

The Bremen striker is relatively free to shoot in the penalty area, but he places the ball exactly at Cologne keeper Schwäbe.



1st Min:

And there is the first finish early in the game!

Ducksch cheekily tries it from 17 meters away, but the ball goes a few meters past the goal.



1st Min:

The ball is rolling!

Werder Bremen in the live ticker against 1. FC Köln: The ball is rolling!

8:28 p.m.:

The teams arrive, we can get started!



8:22 p.m.:

Everything is set for a football festival!

The atmosphere is great for this 100th meeting between Werder and Cologne in the Bundesliga.

Werder won the 99th game and thus the first leg of the current season 2-1.

Will Bremen get three points again today?



8.17 p.m.:

What could perhaps also encourage Werder: Cologne has had more shots on goal than Bremen this season (247 to 229) - but Werder is significantly more efficient.

Bremen have scored 30 goals so far, Cologne only scored 15.



8:13 p.m.:

The co-commentator on Dazn for the game between Werder and Cologne today is, by the way, ex-professional Jonas Hummels - who just gave the Deichstube an exclusive interview this week and spoke about Bremen's strengths and weaknesses.



8:09 p.m.:

But Cologne was only able to win one of the last six Bundesliga games against Werder.

That was the 7-1 in January 2023. According to those responsible in Bremen, this is no longer present in the players' minds.



8:02 p.m.:

For Werder today it's also about ending the negative series against Cologne.

In the last eleven games in the Bundesliga, when Werder had to travel to Cologne, the Green-Whites lost five times and there were also six draws.

Werder Bremen in the live ticker against 1. FC Köln: Why Werder coach Ole Werner relies on Julian Malatini

7:58 p.m.:

“The performance over the past few months has given us self-confidence, not just the game against Bayern,” said Werder coach Ole Werner in an interview with Dazn.

“After being substituted on last week, he did well against Heidenheim, he’s a good guy and we believe in him today,” is what they say about the starting eleven debutant Malatini.

7:52 p.m.:

While we're on the subject of history: The list of the best goalscorers in the direct duel between Werder and Cologne in the Bundesliga could hardly be more notable.

For Bremen, the illustrious trio consists of Frank Neubarth (eight goals), Norbert Meier (seven goals) and Horst-Dieter Höttges (six goals).

For Cologne, on the other hand, it is the club legends Dieter Müller (eleven goals), Hannes Löhr (eight goals) and Pierre Littbarski (seven goals).



7.48 p.m.:

The overall balance in the upper house of football between Werder and Cologne couldn't be more balanced: both teams recorded 36 wins each and there were also 27 draws.

Bremen is only slightly behind in terms of goal difference.

The Werder team scored a total of 160 goals, but also conceded 168 goals.

7.45 p.m.:

Keeper Jiri Pavlenka is not in the squad today; he has a finger injury and is therefore out of the match in Cologne.

19.42 Uhr: Schiedsrichter der heutigen Partie ist Daniel Siebert. Ihm assistieren Jan Seidel und Rafael Foltyn. Der vierte Offizielle ist Max Burda. Video-Assistent ist Benjamin Cortus, Eduard Beitinger gibt den VAR-Assistenten.

19.39 Uhr: Justin Njinmah hat es heute also nicht in die Startelf der Bremer geschafft. Dafür darf Nick Woltemade das erste Mal seit dem 18. Spieltag von Beginn an auflaufen. Sein Debüt unter den ersten Elf feiert hingegen Malatini, der zuvor dreimal eingewechselt wurde.

Mutig nach Müngersdorf: Werder Bremen will sich in Köln „das Momentum wiederholen“ – und denkt nicht mehr ans 1:7

Der SV Werder Bremen trifft am Freitagabend (20.30 Uhr im DeichStube-Liveticker) auf den 1. FC Köln. Der Vorbericht zum Bundesliga-Auswärtsspiel.

Bremen– Schwach angefangen und dann auch noch stark nachgelassen: Am 21. Januar 2023, also vor ziemlich genau einem Jahr, war im Rheinenergie-Stadion zu Köln gerade mal eine gute halbe Stunde gespielt, als für den SV Werder Bremen auch schon alles vorbei war. Nach Gegentoren in der 9., 15., 21., 30. und 36. Minute lagen die Gäste sage und schreibe mit 0:5 zurück – am Ende fuhren sie bekanntlich mit einer 1:7-Pleite nach Hause, die prompt Platz vier in der Rangliste der höchsten Niederlagen der Bremer Vereinsgeschichte einnahm. Am Freitagabend (20.30 Uhr/DeichStube-Live-Ticker) kehrt Werder nun erstmals an den Ort der Schmach, nach Köln-Müngersdorf zurück und hat sich sehr viel vorgenommen – was laut den Verantwortlichen aber überhaupt nichts mehr mit dem 1:7 vor Jahresfrist zu tun hat. Werders Vergleichswert ist vielmehr das jüngste 1:2 gegen Heidenheim, denn „da haben wir Punkte aus der Hand gegeben, was in der Form nicht hätte sein müssen“, betont Clemens Fritz als Leiter Profifußball.

In der Tat: Das Heidenheim-Spiel hat am vergangenen Wochenende nicht nur die Feierlaune rund um Werder Bremens 125. Geburtstag nachhaltig eingetrübt, sondern auch eine Bremer Siegesserie von zuvor drei Partien am Stück jäh beendet. Am Freitag soll nun bestenfalls direkt die nächste gestartet werden – oder wie Fritz es ausdrückt: „Wir müssen das Momentum wieder auf unsere Seite holen. In den letzten Wochen haben wir guten Fußball gespielt und entsprechend gut gepunktet. Das wollen wir auch in Köln wieder machen.“

Auch interessant: So könnte die Startelf-Aufstellung des SV Werder Bremen gegen den 1. FC Köln aussehen!

Werder Bremen im DeichStube-Liveticker gegen den 1. FC Köln: Trainer Ole Werner warnt vor Kölner „Geschwindigkeit“

The difficulty with this plan: Things have been going at least well for “Effzeh” lately; the team, it seems, has now stabilized under new coach

Timo Schultz

.

Since the 46-year-old took over from Steffen Baumgart in January,

1. FC Köln

has only lost one of five league games (4-0 against Dortmund) and picked up a total of six points.

Of course, that wasn't a liberation from the bottom of the table, and yet the team seems much more stable, which was particularly reflected in the 2-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt.



“They have stabilized and are now bringing even more speed onto the pitch, perhaps also because one or two clear target players were missing recently,” says Werder coach

Ole Werner

about the upcoming opponents, who include Mark Uth, Luca Waldschmidt and Ex-Bremen player Davie Selke has three center forwards injured.

A personnel situation that forces Schultz to experiment.

The regular right winger Jan Thielmann currently has to help out as a striker in the 4-5-1 system.

The 21-year-old shone as a goalscorer in the home win against Frankfurt two weeks ago.

The Bremen defense is also likely to have to deal with him.

Before the game against

Werder Bremen

, Schultz emphasized: “I'm already looking at what the opponent offers me and who is training well.

But continuity on the pitch is a given in our situation.”

Werder Bremen in the DeichStube live ticker against 1. FC Köln: “Effzeh” coach Timo Schultz praises the green-whites

Earlier, during his active career, the 1. FC Köln

coach

worked

for

SV Werder Bremen from 1995 to 2000, not for the professionals, but as an important pillar of the second team.

His connection to green and white is correspondingly great.

“Bremen is a great club and I’m happy when I can go to the stadium there.

For me personally it was my first club.

I had great years there,” he says.

Schultz's view of the current Werder team is characterized by great respect: "They scored twice as many goals as us and got ten more points," he says - and emphasizes: "It's a structure that is developing has and scores points.

You can also be a little role model for us.”



Sentences that certainly sound pleasant at Osterdeich, but which

Werder Bremen

should definitely not allow themselves to be blinded by.

A win in Cologne would ultimately put them 13 points ahead of their rivals, which would be a big step - and for the guests, regardless of the result, it would certainly be a successful revenge for the 1:7.
