The Green-Whites travelled to Nuremberg for their second away match of 2019 to face lowly 1. FC Nürnberg. Werder took on ‘der Club’ in the Max-Morlock-Stadion on Saturday afternoon and the visitors took the lead through Johannes Eggestein in the 64th minute. However, Nürnberg equalised in the closing stages to steal a point. There wasn’t much for either side to talk about in the first half, which had very few highlights. Werder were the brighter side, enjoying more possession but unable to unlock the Nürnberg defence with a final pass. The visitors were also unable to hit their opponents at pace and Nürnberg had no problems in defence to keep the scores level at half-time. After the hour mark, both teams increased their intensity and started to create chances to score. Johannes Eggestein was in the right place at the right time to open the scoring for the visitors before the late heart break.
