Matchday 5: Werder Bremen sucks.
By: Steven | September 14th, 2007
The league’s best road team from last season just got slapped upside the head on the road today by Borussia Dortmund. In a wonderful performance, the boys in yellow and black had scored three times by the 32nd minute via Mladen Petric and Diego Klimowicz.
Petric was the first to find the back of the net, as he got on the end of a ball whipped across the box. It was good positioning by Petric, who had little work to do to put away an easy goal.
Klimowicz doubled the lead just minutes later. After being played through behind the Bremen defense, the former Werder man sent a beautiful curled shot into the upper-left corner and past Tim Wiese to send the Sudtribune into joyful delight.
But the scoring wasn’t done. Three minutes later, Petric scored a superb second to bring us to a resounding 3-0 scoreline with 13 minutes still left to play in the first half.
The second half saw Bremen get a few good chances to pull a goal back, but Marc Ziegler came up big each time to deny the Northerners a foothold in the match. Frustrations were the obvious result and the climax came when Leon Andreasen was sent off nine minutes from time.
The result sees us jump to SECOND IN THE LEAGUE, with only Bayern ahead of us by one point.

So what do you prefer?
a) Schalke beating Bayern Munich tomorrow to keep the one point margin between Bayern and Dortmund, while Schalke would surpass Dortmund in the table due to their better goal difference.
b) Bayern Munich beating Schalke to keep them 3 points out of sight of Dortmund?
Apart from that: disappointing performance by Bremen. They had a great week prior to the international break, securing a spot in the Champions League and two consecutive victories. Now it might be three defeats in a row. I don’t see how Bremen could get away with anything but a defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League and Stuttgart could be a threat as well, although they aren’t in top form either.
But plenty of good news for Dortmund. A less embarrassing logo on their jerseys, consolidated finances and a good position in the league. Could only be topped if Alexander Frei stops picking up injuries I guess.
