"Ugly Bird" Strikes Back: Ducksch Saves a Point for Bremen
Werder Bremen managed to hold their own against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the opening game of Bundesliga matchday 15. Despite going behind early, Gladbach responded with a double strike just before and after the break. However, Marvin Ducksch, the "ugly bird" of Bremen, scored an unexpected goal to salvage a point for his team.
Borussia Mönchengladbach's impressive home streak came to an end despite Rocco Reitz netting his first brace in the Bundesliga. With five successive victories at home, the five-time German champions were aiming for another win. But Werder Bremen managed to make a comeback, thanks to Ducksch's goal.
The match started with a 12-minute boycott, protesting against the controversial investor deal of the German Football League (DFL). The protest, however, did not affect Borre, who scored the opening goal for Bremen. Schmid crossed the ball, and Borre displayed a technical skill to convert it into a goal. Franck Honorat and Joe Scally lost track of the striker.
Despite falling behind, Borussia Mönchengladbach did not lose hope. Goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas saved Borre from an almost certain goal in the 12th minute. Coach Ole Werner's team managed to maintain longer periods of possession against the Foals, who often struggled to keep up.
The equalizer came just before half-time. Reitz, who had replaced the sick Tomas Cvancara, defended the ball in the penalty area and passed it to Robin Hack. Hack then found Reitz, who slotted the ball past Werder's goalkeeper with ease.
Inspired by their first goal, Borussia Mönchengladbach came out stronger in the second half. Kone hit the post, and Plea failed to score after a follow-up attempt. The hosts pressed harder, leaving Bremen with little room to counterattack.
However, it was Bremen who scored the equalizer. Ducksch, known for his unexpected appearances, got a chance and made no mistake. Despite missing out on their first away win, Bremen at least managed to prevent a clean sweep by Gladbach.
