Aue loses the hard way
Werder lets Rehhagel’s starting record shake

Since Markus Beginning was no longer the coach of SV Werder Bremen, things have been going well for the club: successor Ole Werner scored his seventh win in a row on the 22nd matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga. One win is missing from the club legend’s record. Erzgebirge Aue loses the hard way.
Hansa Rostock – Werder Bremen 1: 2 (0: 0)
With the seventh win in a row, Werder Bremen has at least temporarily taken over the top of the table in the 2nd Bundesliga. The first division relegated team won 2-1 (0-0) at Hansa Rostock and thus overtook SV Darmstadt 98 (39) and FC St. Pauli (38) with 41 points. Both clubs are still playing at the weekend.
In front of 10,000 spectators in the Ostseestadion, the Green-Whites had a hard time despite their field advantage. It was not until the 52nd minute that Marvin Ducksch redeemed Bremen with his twelfth goal of the season. In the 74th minute, Niclas Füllkrug made it 2-0, and Rostock’s goal from Robin Meißner (83rd) came too late. Bremen coach Ole Werner celebrated his seventh win in seven games and is just one win away from beating Otto Rehhagel’s club record. Next Saturday, Werder welcomes the current bottom team FC Ingolstadt.
Ore Mountains Aue – Holstein Kiel 2: 3 (0: 2)
The descent from the Erzgebirge Aue continues unabated. Against Holstein Kiel, the Saxons remained without a win in the eighth game in a row. Kwasi Okyere Wriedt sealed the bitter 2:3 (0:2) defeat of the violets with his goal in the 90th minute. Previously, Nikola Trujic (79th) and Jan Hochscheidt (84th) equalized the guest lead by Fin Bartels (19th minute) and an own goal by Sören Gonther (38th) in front of 4788 spectators outnumbered.
While Kiel remained undefeated in the sixth game in a row and is safely in the middle of the table, Aue is threatened with falling to last place in the table this weekend if FC Ingolstadt wins against SV Sandhausen. The Aue dilemma culminated within a few seconds. Prince Osei Owusu ran alone to KSV goalkeeper Thomas Dähne – and failed. In return, Bartels scored to guide the guests. Defense chief Gonther tipped the ball unchallenged to goalkeeper Martin Männel for the next Kiel goal into his own goal.
Could it get any worse? It could. Soufiane Messeguem (42′) kicked Phil Neumann in the calf from behind. Referee Florian Heft showed the red card. Outnumbered, nothing seemed to do for Aue. However, Trujic and Hochscheidt managed to turn things around until Wriedt dashed all hopes of winning a point.
