Outstanding performance
Werder Bremen•MidfielderWerder Bremen dominated territory and chances from the first whistle, racking up 66% possession, 20 shots and four big chances to Augsburg's one, yet found themselves 2-0 down inside the hour thanks to Robin Fellhauer's early strike and Calvin Brackelmann's header from a corner. Augsburg defended resolutely, throwing bodies behind the ball with 16 tackles and Tomas Koubek-esque resistance in goal racking up seven saves, but the pressure eventually told. Marco Grüll pulled one back just after the hour, and substitute Mitchell Weiser proved the difference, first helping spark the late siege before Niclas Füllkrug leveled in the 86th minute and Weiser himself completed the turnaround in stoppage time. For Bremen, it's a huge psychological win built on patience and squad depth off the bench, while Augsburg will rue their inability to hold on despite a defensive performance that for 85 minutes had frustrated a vastly superior opponent.
