The hosts weren’t able to get into the game until the 16th minute and had to be invited by Werder: Jana Beuschlein used a mistake in preparation to give Köln the lead. SVW was not shocked and continued to play forward cheerfully. Lührßen drew twice from a free-kick (18 ‘/ 40’) and once from close range (22 ‘). Lina Hausicke also made a mistake just before half-time with a header (44th). For the hosts, Myrthe Moorrees made a dangerous free-kick strike (36 ‘), and Michelle Ulbrich had to save once on Mandy Islacker (38’).
Same picture after the break: Werder played, Cologne scored. After a foul by Michaela Brandenburg, there was a penalty for 1. FC Köln. Mandy Islacker did not miss the chance and converted to safety (61st). But the SVW did not give up. Until the last minute, Németh, Matheis and teammates tried everything to overturn the game. Even a missed penalty by Michelle Ulbrich (69th) did not stop the SVW. Despite further chances, the 0: 2 loss should remain at the end.
SV Werder Bremen will welcome VfL Wolfsburg next Sunday, 30 October 2022. The match against the reigning German champions will take place at 4 pm in the “Platz 11” stadium.
