Match Recap

Niclas Füllkrug finally found the net that had eluded him against this opponent, breaking the deadlock in the 57th minute and handing Werder Bremen something they hadn't managed in their last two meetings with 1899 Hoffenheim: a win. Eren Dinkci added gloss in the 82nd, turning a nervy afternoon into a comfortable 2-0 in the Bundesliga. Bremen had lost both of their previous head-to-head clashes with Hoffenheim, so this one carries extra weight, lifting them to 12 points and seventh place off a mixed WDDWD run. Hoffenheim, who arrived on the back of three wins in their last five, slip to tenth with nine points and will wonder how a side in that kind of form went scoreless for 90 minutes. Füllkrug's breakthrough strike and Dinkci's late finish are both worth watching back, especially the move that finally cracked Hoffenheim's resistance in the second half.
