17 mins: Milot Rashica gets in behind on the right-hand side, but his cross cannot be turned home by Josh Sargent.
32 mins: Ludwig Augustinsson fouls Kabelo Mahlasela on the edge of the area. The Chiefs’ free kick is comfortably saved by Stefanos Kapino.
35 mins: Jean-Manuel Mbom sees his shot from just outside the area fly past the left post. A good chance!
39 mins: Kabelo Mahlasela bursts into the Werder penalty area, but thankfully Ludwig Augustinsson blocks the shot at the last second.
43 mins: GOAL – A great move by Werder. Johannes Eggestein gives it to Josh Sargent who plays a perfect ball into the box and Eggestein stabs home to open the scoring!
50 mins: The first half ends.
50 mins: Due to some bad weather, the game is abandoned. The players safety is too important for the game to carry on and thus Werder win 1-0 against the Kaizer Chiefs!
Conclusion: Florian Kohfeldt’s men deservedly win their first friendly of 2019. His side had more possession and the better chances. Eggestein’s winning goal was very well-made and taken. The next game against Bidvest Wits takes place next Friday (11/01).
