Freiburg 0-6 Werder Bremen: A thumping victory
goal
A thumping victory at Freiburg took Bremen to the top of the standings, with leaders Leverkusen still to play on Sunday.
A powerful attacking display from Bremen swept aside Freiburg on their home patch and took Thomas Schaaf's men above Bayer Leverkusen on goal difference at the top of the table, until Sunday at any rate.
Bremen started purposefully and with the confidence to be expected of a side unbeaten in 19 competitive outings. In the 11th minute, Naldo met a cross from Marko Marin with a header that pulled a great save out of home keeper Simon Pouplin. Four minutes later, Pouplin was beaten by another header, this time from Daniel Jensen, but this time the post came to Freiburg's rescue.
Pressure pays off
With 28 minutes gone, Mesut Özil finished off a good move by prodding the ball against the post from three metres out as Werder relentlessly pursued the opener. It finally arrived five minutes later, Özil cutting the ball back from the goal-line for Hugo Almeida to head home despite Pouplin's best efforts.
Almeida nearly bagged a second before half time, forcing Pouplin into action again with a low shot following another sweeping Bremen move. The Almeida-Pouplin duel continued shortly after the restart, the keeper turning away a shot from the striker with his foot. There was no let-up from Bremen and in the 55th minute, Marko Marin looped a free kick from the left edge of the box straight into the net. Two minutes later, Almeida latched onto a pass from Özil and belted number three past the overworked Pouplin.
Rosenberg rounds it out
Thomas Schaaf's men took a ten-minute breather, then Jensen put Özil away with an angled pass and the Werder playmaker carried the ball into the box before dispatching it into the net to make it 4-0. With just under 20 minutes to play, Mohamadou Idrissou bundled Özil over inside the box and Naldo stepped up to thump home number five, despite a valiant effort by Pouplin to keep it out.
Freiburg's misery was not quite over yet though. In the 82nd minute, the industrious Özil freed up substitute Markus Rosenberg and the striker put the finishing touch on a one-sided contest.
Line-ups
Freiburg: Pouplin – Makiadi, Krmas, Bastians, Butscher - Banovic, Schuster (Flum 60') - Caligiuri, Jäger (Bechmann 45') - Reisinger, Idrissou (Mujdza 74')
