Werder Bremen missed a home win against Cologne in a dramatic final phase!

In today's Bundesliga match between SV Werder Bremen and 1. FC Köln, the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw. Although Bremen was able to take the lead with a goal from Marco Friedl in the 22nd minute, the equalizer from Said El Mala only came in stoppage time (90th + 1 minute). Particularly bitter for the host: Niklas Stark was shown a yellow-red card in the 90th + 5th minute, which made the final phase even more difficult. Dike room reports on the clear dominance of the host in the first half, where Bremen clearly had the upper hand with 9:3 shots on goal.

The statistics show that Cologne's defense had problems, especially in set pieces. With 12 goals conceded after dead balls this season, it is clear that there is a need for action here. Cologne goalkeeper Marvin Schwäbe praised El Mala for his outstanding performance, who was involved in almost all dangerous situations. It is particularly worth mentioning that El Mala was considered for a nomination for the senior national team at short notice. Sports show describes how the guests almost conceded another goal due to a bad pass from Kristoffer Lund.

Reviews and player ratings

The player reviews from the game show a mixed picture. Marco Friedl received a grade of 2 after he scored the first goal of the season and had a 100% tackle rate in the first half. Amos Pieper and Karim Coulibaly were also rated well with 2.5 points each. Keke Topp, who had another good performance, was awarded 2.5 points, although he had a goal disallowed for offside. Niklas Stark, on the other hand, scored a 5 after he provoked an unfortunate deflection to equalize and was shown a yellow-red card shortly afterwards. Dike room concisely summarizes the players' achievements.

The Cologne fans are excited, especially after the close outcome of the game. While Werder Bremen remains in midfield with 16 points, FC Köln is only one point behind with 15 points and is still waiting for more stable performances. Next weekend, FC Köln will host FC St. Pauli, while Bremen will face Hamburger SV on Sunday. Yahoo Sports gives an outlook on the upcoming games.
