Outstanding performance
Werder Bremen•GoalkeeperDortmund dominated from start to finish statistically, racking up 72% possession, 21 shots to 11, and a staggering 92 dangerous attacks compared to Bremen's 16, yet somehow left the Signal Iduna Park with only a point. Goals from substitute-assisted Daniel Svensson and a Nico Schlotterbeck header inside five second-half minutes looked to have sealed a routine win, but Werder Bremen responded instantly through Ludovit Reis and then snatched a stoppage-time equalizer via Niclas Füllkrug's header from a Marco Grüll set-piece delivery. The collapse was compounded by three yellow cards and a touchline argument card for Bremen boss Daniel Thioune in the chaotic closing minutes. For Dortmund, this will sting given their control of the game - wasteful finishing despite four big chances created and total territorial dominance - while Bremen's resilience and set-piece threat salvaged something from what looked like a lost cause.
