VfL Wolfsburg's struggles in the Bundesliga persisted, as they couldn't secure a win against Werder Bremen, settling for a draw in a thrilling 2:2 clash. With the scoreline reading 1:1 at halftime, Cerny and Paredes put the hosts ahead before Borré equalized for Bremen, who netted their first away point of the season.
The Wolf's underwhelming performance saw them remain winless in the league for an extended period, amidst a slew of lackluster matches. The 7th-place team in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg boasts an average record of 8 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses, with their home form undermining their potential, as they only managed to win 3 times at Volkswagen Arena.
Meanwhile, Bremen's morale was sky-high, having secured a 2-0 victory against Union Berlin just a week prior. Werner's squad displayed admirable maturity in the first half, dominating the possession and masterfully fending off Wolfsburg's attacks. Despite trailing by one goal, Werder's resilience shone through when Ducksch scored a delightful free-kick to take the lead.
Bremen's prowess though was tested in the second half, as Wolfsburg fought back. Maehle and Majer combined beautifully to set up Paredes, who calmly seized the opportunity to equalize. However, Bremen quickly regained their footing by scoring through Borré and eventually held on to secure a draw.
The feet of Borré eventually managed to restore parity for the Hanseatic side after Paredes scored just under an hour, while Stage and Deman failed to capitalize on their opportunities to regain the lead.
Werder's impressive determination against Wolfsburg earned them a valuable point, but their 10th-place position in the Bundesliga table serves as a reminder of the improvements they need to make.
Fans of top-flight football in Germany would be delighted to know that both sides will look to improve their fortunes in the upcoming matches, with Wolfsburg hoping to break their winless streak and Bremen aiming to climb up the table.
