Werder sends BVB fans home disappointed
By: Jackson | January 28th, 2009
The Green Whites got the second half on the year started right with a 2-1 comeback victory in the DFB Pokal over BVB in Dortmund. The match was high strung attacking rich but surprisingly only had three goals from many close chances. Swiss international Alexander Frei gave Borussia Dortmund the one goal advantage at the tenth minute from a counter attack. The play sprung following a hard challenge on Hugo Almeida by Florian Kringe that some thought was a foul. However leading 1-0, Werder continued to control play but the defensive minded Dortmund played well behind the ball and chances were mostly long range. Mohamed Zidan came close to nailing down the match when he hit the post after the half hour but both sides couldn’t find the goal through the rest of the half. Hugo Almeida, who had come close just after the re-start leveled the match two minutes after the hour following Clemens Fritz’ provision. Claudio Pizarro found the winner with ten minutes left after Diego’s free kick from eighteen meters rang off the post and Mesut Özil directed to Pizza to finish for the 2-1 victory.
