Outstanding performance
Werder Bremen•MidfielderWerder Bremen and Eintracht Frankfurt served up a thrilling six-goal encounter that swung dramatically in the final stages at the Weserstadion. Frankfurt looked comfortable after Nnamdi Collins restored their lead early in the second half, but Bremen's resilience shone through as Jens Stage leveled before substitute Jovan Milosevic put the hosts ahead with ten minutes remaining. Just when Bremen seemed destined for all three points, Ansgar Knauff struck a crucial equalizer in the dying moments to salvage a point for Frankfurt. The result maintains both teams' solid mid-table positions, with Bremen showing impressive character to twice come from behind against a quality Frankfurt side.
Werder Bremen desperately need to end their six-game winless streak and three-match scoring drought when they host Eintracht Frankfurt. Frankfurt arrive with the league's second-worst defense but boast one of Europe's most entertaining attacks, setting up a fascinating clash of contrasting fortunes.
