+++ With goals and assists into Top XI of the day: Two Werder players were so convincing in the team's 3-2 win over Hannover that the magazine kicker selected them into the Top XI of the Day. Aaron Hunt was directly or indirectly involved in all three goals, including an assist to teammate Santiago Garcia, who also made the Top XI with his debut goal for Bremen, which was the game-winner. It was first nomination by kicker for both players this season. +++
+++ Steel hero with message to the fans: Santiago Garcia wanted to get subbed out in the late stage of the game after getting a knock on the leg. But the defender played on despite major pain - and it turned out to be a huge success as Garcia scored the winning goal to make it 3-2 in the 86th minute. "It was a wonderful feeling scoring the goal for the win," said Garcia. The Argentinean said his cult-celebration with the fans was like a declaration of love. "Luca and I had always joked about a possible goal celebration. We even talked in the changing room about how we would celebrate if we scored a goal. It was a total surprise that it happened and I spontaneously raced to the fans. I wanted to be near the fans, I feel good there. The best thing would have been I could stay seated in the East Curve and the referee would have blown the final whistle," said Garcia. The final whistle came a few minutes later. Garcia celebrated in the evening by going out to dinner with his girlfriend and Franco Di Santo. "I was able to sleep really good and had some nice dreams," said Garcia looking back. +++
+++ 3,2,1 - Streak snapped: The 3-2 victory over Hannover wasn't just an important victory for the team, it also ended some negative streaks for the Green-Whites. First off, it was third home victory in the calendar year 2013. In addition, Cedrick Makiadi scored his second goal by header in 2013 and the team reversed their first game after a deficit in 2013. If that's not a good omen for the rest of the season!? +++
