It didn’t look like it was going to happen and it’d been a long time coming but Werder Bremen have won the 108th Nordderby! Courtesy of an 86th minute Rick van Drongelen own goal, Werder took all three points in the relegation six pointer. The game itself was a fragmented one. Referee Felix Zwayer was forced to pause the game on two occasions due to fan trouble in the away end as pyrotechnics endangered the future of the game. After the game resumed, the tie was tight but Werder were able to snatch that all-important winner which means the Green-Whites spring over Mainz and Wolfsburg in the table into 14th spot with a total of 26 points, increasing the gap between Werder and HSV to nine points.
