Werder tweeted that the Ultras’ departure was “a clear competitive disadvantage” for the game. The police measures were carried out at the Wolfsburg train station. “Fans are held and do not have the opportunity to move freely,” writes the Bundesliga promoted.
In the northern derby, Werder Bremen even looked like a win until shortly before the end. Nmecha (11th) scored the first goal for Wolfsburg after a perfect assist from Wimmer. Werder didn’t let themselves be put off by the deficit and equalized with a one-off from Füllkrug (21′). Bremen had turned the game within minutes. Thanks to Wolfsburg’s passive style of play, Ducksch was able to cross to Bittencourt on the right, who made it 2-1 with a header (23rd). Wolfsburg was able to win the last goal of the game with a corner kick. Kruse crossed to Nmecha, who extended the ball to Guilavogui, whereupon the French equalized (84′). (dpa/fis)
