New Delhi: SC Freiburg secured a critical 3-0 victory over Werder Bremen in a Bundesliga clash marked by defensive mishaps and missed opportunities. The win moves Freiburg closer to the league’s top four, leaving Bremen to regret a day where self-inflicted errors proved costly.
Werder Bremen entered the game on a high note after convincing wins against Fortuna Cologne in the DFB Cup and 1. FC Cologne in the league. Their confidence was evident as they dominated the opening stages, creating several early chances. However, their inability to capitalize on these opportunities left the door open for Freiburg.
The game took a dramatic turn in the 20th minute when a misjudged back pass from Nemeth gifted Freiburg their opening goal. Martinez calmly intercepted, rounded Peng, and netted the ball home. Just nine minutes later, history repeated itself as Ulbrich’s back pass provided Martinez with another opportunity to score which she seized with composure.
Despite the disastrous errors, Bremen showed flashes of intent, especially before Freiburg’s second goal but the damage was already done.

Freiburg take control
Bremen were trailing 2-0 after first half but they came out fighting in the second half, hoping to salvage something from the match. Muhlhaus nearly pulled one back in the 46th minute but could only find the side netting. Moments later, Freiburg extended their lead when a cross into the box ricocheted off Stegemann’s thigh and into the net, making it 3-0 in the 52nd minute.
Bremen’s frustration continued to mount as Ulbrich’s unfortunate day was capped by a missed penalty in the 82nd minute. Freiburg were not forceful in attack but displayed efficiency and poise, taking full advantage of Bremen’s errors to secure a commanding victory.
What’s Next
The result leaves Bremen with a lot to ponder ahead of their next match against VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday. Freiburg is now just three points behind fourth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt and hopes to carry this momentum into their clash with Bayer Leverkusen earlier the same day.
For Werder Bremen, it was a case of missed opportunities and costly errors. For Freiburg, it was a well-earned victory built on discipline and opportunism.
Freiburg capitalized on Bremen’s defensive errors to secure a 3-0 win, closing in on the top four while Werder suffered a day of missed chances and mishaps. Football Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
