+++ Flood of honours for the match winning trio: Raphael Wolf, Santiago Garcia and Philipp Bargfrede were the pillars of Werder's 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim. Garcia and Bargfrede turned the game around with their goals while Wolf secured the victory between the posts. And all three players were recognised for their strong performances, earning numerous considerations for the top XI players of the match day. Wolf was chosen four times by kicker, transfermarkt.de, goal.com and sportschau.de. Bargfrede also made four lists - Bild, 11Freunde.de, goal.com and sportschau.de. The third member of the group, Garcia, was listed in the top players of the match day by transfermarkt.de as well as sportschau.de. +++
+++ Taking in atmosphere, debut delayed: Luca Zander could hardly have picked a better match to make his debut on the professional roster than Saturday's victory. There was a fantastic atmosphere, a spectacular match and a much-celebrated happy end. The right back did not get into the contest but he was allowed to take in the great Bundesliga atmosphere at Weser Stadium. "It was awesome," the 18-year-old told the Weser Kurier. +++
+++ Penalty killer: Raphael Wolf looks back on the 4-4 draw against Hoffenheim earlier this season in Sinsheim with mixed feelings. Despite helping Werder to a draw in his Bundesliga debut, he conceded four goals. Bremen's 3-1 victory at home should provide some better memories for the 25-year-old keeper. After stopping a penalty late and then celebrating the victory with fans at the East Curve fencing, Wolf received an honour as the fans on the Green-Whites' official Facebook page selected him as Volkswagen "Man of the Match". WERDER.DE says: "Congratulations Rapha! You earned that!" +++
