SV Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig

Werder Bremen delivered one of their best home performances of the season, blowing the game open inside the first five minutes and never really letting go. Eren Dinkci set the tone with a 4th-minute finish, and from there Weserstadion sensed something special was brewing against a strong RB Leipzig side. Bremen doubled down in the second half as Niclas Füllkrug nodded in a header just past the hour mark, then Marco Grüll curled in a third to cap a man-of-the-match display featuring a goal and an assist. Leipzig had chances of their own — Chuki picked up an early yellow card, and Bremen survived a VAR review that overturned a penalty shout for Christopher Nkunku in the 63rd minute. Ridle Baku's stoppage-time header was too little, too late for the visitors. The win eases relegation worries for Bremen and shows they can trouble the league's bigger names, while Leipzig's European ambitions take a real hit after a game that started to slip away from the opening whistle.
