Scene of the game: In a confusing situation on the edge of his own penalty area Bremen defender Ludwig Augustinsson fell first and then touched the ball foul hand. As strange as the action was, so logical was the penalty whistle. While the Werder Zeter and Mordio squad screamed because they had previously seen Ante Rebic foul, Sébastien Haller converted (68th minute). His 20th goal in the 20th penalty attempt as a professional and at least one point for the Frankfurt, who won against no team in the Bundesliga more often than the Bremen.

20 - Sebastien #Haller converted all 20 penalties in his professional career in league games (1/1 for Auxerre, 14/14 for Utrecht and 5/5 for the @Eintracht). For sure. #SVWSGE #Bundesliga pic.twitter.com/g7IeQ5MNcQ

The result: Werder Bremen and Eintracht Frankfurt split 2: 2 (1: 1). Click here for the game report.

Tactics and staff, here and there: Bremen coach Florian Kohfeldt relied on Philipp Bargfrede as a defensive control body, which moved as well as his counterpart Makoto Hasebe repeatedly between defensive midfield and center of defense. Frankfurt coach Adi Hütter preferred Simon Falette over Evan N'Dicka after training impressions last week. A decision he may have regretted after Falette's weak performance before the 1: 2.

Maximilian Eggestein

The first half: Maximilan Eggestein dribbled thanks to a spin through three Frankfurt defender and scored the 1-0 (27), Rebic had Niklas Moisander with a simple body shuffle slip into the void and left with a long-dropped corner (35) - the almost equally beautiful balance. Martin Harnik also awarded two good opportunities (6th and 12th). As Maximilian Eggestein hit only the post (39) and his brother Johannes from promising half left position Kevin Trapp in his 100th game for Eintracht could not overcome (43.), it remained after 45 minutes at 1-1.

The second half: After Kruse's dream pass on Harnik, this fell too easy, playing around with Trapp and slipping to make it 2-1 (52 '). Frankfurt responded with Augustinsson's penalty and Haller converted (68 '). Both teams played in the episode in an inspiring Bundesliga game offensively - a fifth goal should not fall, however, the Bremen in stoppage time were lucky: referee Markus Schmidt had a handball by Moisander at the edge of the penalty area unpunished.

Max Kruse (middle)

Man of the match: When opposing possession Werder defended in 5-4-1, with Max Kruse as the only attacker and troublemaker. Conquered the Bremer the ball, he let himself fall and went into the free space in front of Frankfurt Dreierkette. Both key decisions for a strong Bremen performance. In addition Kruses wonderful pass came in the run of Martin Harnik, who could complete to 2: 1 (52.). Bad news for Werder: At the end of the season runs Kruse's contract, as well as that of Maximilian Eggestein. The good: Frank Baumann, CEO Sport, was in the interview cautiously optimistic about a contract extension. "What matters is not when to extend, but that." You do not want to contradict that.

Thunder Rode: In the winter break from Borussia Dortmund back to Frankfurt, Sebastian Rode showed a strong performance against Freiburg. In Bremen, he was much more challenged and fell mainly by two strong fouls against Max Kruse at the beginning of the second half. After the yellow card he was clearly braked on the road and had luck in the 72nd minute to get a foul on Johannes Eggestein not yellow-red.

The great three: Rebic, Haller and Luka Jovic had scored 29 of the 37 goals in Frankfurt after 18 match days, ie 78 percent of Eintracht goals. After the game at Werder, it is 31 of 39 - makes 79 percent. One percent does not sound like much now, but ask a SPD official.
