Stuttgart, promoted to the Bundesliga, have deservedly won at Werder Bremen and are looking up the table again. There were problems with VfB’s double scorer Silas Wamangituka due to the way he scored his second goal.
Silas Wamangituka (31st, penalty / 90th +1) scored twice in Stuttgart’s 2-1 (1-0) win on Sunday (December 6, 2020) in Bremen for the strong visiting Suevi. Trivia: He saw the yellow card for the provocatively slow way he scored the second goal. Werder always tried hard, but could not overcome good approaches and a goal from Davie Selke (90 + 3) that came too late. Stuttgart bounced back from the last 3-1 draw with Bayern Munich and won for the first time since 2006 at Weser.
Matarazzo: “That wasn’t unsportsmanlike” by Silas
VfB coach Pellegrino Matarazzo told the sports program after the game: “I am happy that I was able to reward us again. We fought as a team until the end and that is why I am very happy with the three points.” On Wamangutika’s action, he said: “He’s a very shy kid, he doesn’t ooze arrogance. That wasn’t unsportsmanlike, but rather a game of time, like going for the corner flag. He told me after the game and I believe him. “
Bremen’s troubled environment
As Stuttgart establish themselves in midfield, there are again unstable days threatening Bremen, not just for the second loss in a row. There is also noise in the area. TV journalist Jörg Wontorra wants to run for the supervisory board. He and the “group of concerned club members”, which also include former Werder coaches Klaus-Dieter Fischer, Willi Lemke and Manfred Müller, want a change of course in club politics.
Osako rewards Bremen’s leadership
Both teams had to do without a lot of celebrities on the offense due to injuries. Werder missed Niclas Füllkrug (calf) and Milot Rashica (thigh), Stuttgart played without Daniel Didavi (hip) and Nicolas González (knee). Initially, the home team coped better with failures. Tahith Chong and Joshua Sargent secured early pressure, while Yuya Osako had a great opportunity to take the lead after five minutes after a good combination, but the Japanese shot just above the gate.
More mature Stuttgart playground
However, over time, Stuttgart adapted to the aggressive race and got better at the game. Borna Sosa (14th) brought danger from a distance, Wamangituka remained frozen on the penalty kick after Chong Wataru struck Endo on the foot. It was already the fourth goal of the season for Stuttgart’s most striking player. Despite some good approaches from Bremen, the Stuttgart game seemed more mature and well thought out. Captain Gonzalo Castro and Endo skillfully pulled the strings in the center.
And the Suevi repeatedly mixed surprising actions, such as that of Sosa (48º) in his brazen long-distance shot, which turned dangerously towards the outside net. The people of Bremen were never disappointed and tried again and again to increase the pressure. But against the stable VfB defense, they found it difficult to create convincing scoring opportunities. Also, VfB goalkeeper Gregor Kobel had a good day and was a sure source of support.
Ball in goal “walks”: Yellow card for the shooter
In the end, Wamangituka made the decision when he took advantage of a misunderstanding between Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka and defender Ömer Toprak, stole the ball and slowly “walked” it towards the goal. Referee Frank Willenborg called him unsportsmanlike and showed him the yellow card.
Bremen striker Selke was furious with “Sky”: “That was disrespectful! We don’t need to talk about it.” Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt “did not want to overdramatize” the scene. Regardless, it provided a talking point, long after the final whistle.
Bremen now has to play at RB Leipzig on Saturday (12.12.2020) at 3:30 pm Stuttgart plays at the same time at Borussia Dortmund.
