Werder Bremen suffered a bitter 5-1 loss against the new Bundesliga champions Wolfsburg in the final game day of the 2008-09 Bundesliga season. The Wolfsburg goals were scored by Zvjezdan Misimovic (6’), Grafite (15’ and 56’), Sebastian Prödl (26’ own goal) and Edin Dzeko (74’). Diego scored Bremen’s only goal in the 31st minute to make it 3-1.
Thomas Schaaf’s team was missing the necessary freshness in front of 30,000 fans in Wolfsburg’s sold-out arena after the difficult UEFA Cup final on Wednesday against Shakhtar Donetsk. And Felix Magath’s Wolfsburg side came out with guns blazing and grabbed a 2-0 lead after just 15 minutes. Zvjezdan Misimovic used a Werder defensive mistake in the sixth minute and gave Bremen keeper Tim Wiese no chance from eight yards. Grafite doubled the lead in the 15th minute beating Prödl to a cross from the left side. And Prödl scored an own goal after 26 minutes to make it 3-0 as things looked bleak. But Diego brought a goal back in the 31st minute after some fine passing with Claudio Pizarro. And it was 3-1 at the break.
After Diego’s goal, Werder played a bit more relaxed but had another defensive mistake nine minutes after the break and Wolfsburg scored their fourth goal. Grafite was left open on a Misimovic free kick and the Brazilian beat Wiese again. And Edin Dzeko increased the advantage to 5-1 in the 74th as Bremen finished the 2008-09 Bundesliga season in 10th place.
