A defeat is a defeat. The way it came about, no matter how unfortunate the circumstances were or how positive the performance of the losing side was, at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. An experience the Green-Whites were once again forced to make on Bundesliga matchday 17. Despite playing with only ten men against Dortmund, Werder battled back into the game and managed to level the score before conceding an unfortunate goal to lose the game 2-1. “It’s an unfortunate result, but there are a lot of positives we can take from this game. With one less player on the pitch, we posed a lot of problems for BVB and looked to avoid the defeat at all costs,” said Werder manager Alexander Nouri summing up the game.
