Match Report

RB Leipzig claimed a clinical 2-1 victory at Werder Bremen on Matchday 28, with Antonio Nusa stealing the show on head coach Ole Werner's return to his former club. The Norwegian winger's stunning strike from outside the box set the tone for a controlled away performance at the Weserstadion. Nusa opened the scoring on 15 minutes, firing into the near corner with a low-probability effort that left the Bremen defence flat-footed. Rômulo doubled the lead in the 52nd minute after Christoph Baumgartner drove into the box and the ball broke kindly to the Brazilian. Musah pulled one back deep in stoppage time (90'+4) but it proved nothing more than a consolation. The win lifts Leipzig to 53 points, level with VfB Stuttgart as the Champions League race heats up. For Bremen, stuck in the lower half on 28 points, the focus remains firmly on maintaining their buffer above the relegation zone.
