SVW record their first Bundesliga win in 2023

Highlights from the first half:

1st minute: Wimmer has the first chance of the match. VfL are on the attack after winning the ball on the halfway line and create the first chance of the match. Wimmer can’t beat Pavlenka, however.

3rd minute: Werder are also getting going and are off to a good start in the other half of the pitch. Ducksch, however, misjudges a cross from Tony Jung, and the ball flies past the Wolfsburg goal.

10th minute: Niklas Schmidt and Marvin Ducksch stand over a free kick. Ducksch crosses the ball in with speed into the box, where Pieper is waiting, but he sends the ball over the bar. Pieper was, however, in an offside position.

20th minute: Jens Stage finds himself in front of Casteels and takes the ball on the volley, but the Wolfsburg keeper is up to the task. There is still a chance for Füllkrug, however, but he doesn’t hit it correctly.

24th minute: Füllkruuuuuug! Werder’s top goalscorer runs up and scores from the penalty spot to make it 1-0 to SVW. This rewards the team for a brave first half.

31st minute: Wind heads the ball in, but Wimmer was stood in an offside position. The goal is disallowed.

34th minute: Svanberg attempts a dangerous lob, but the crossbar saves SVW from conceding an equaliser.

38th minute: Groß brings the ball in from the right, and Weiser finds Füllkrug superbly, who fails to beat Casteels with a header.

43rd minute: Ducksch and Schmidt try to play through the Wolfsburg ranks and end up in front of the opponent’s goal, but Ducksch’s shot goes comfortably out of play.
