SV Werder Bremen have their first win of the New Year! It was a successful dress rehearsal for Florian Kohfeldt and his men ahead of their return to Bundesliga action against Fortuna Düsseldorf next weekend (Saturday 18th January). Kohfeldt was happy to see his side make progress as they continue their preparations over the winter break. Werder started the game with a back three, as they did in the first half against AC Monza. However, the visitors initially managed to take the lead through a curling effort from Edgar Prib in the 30th minute. Watched on by new signing Kevin Vogt, Benjamin Goller and Co. continued to attack the Hannover defence but were let down by their decision making in the final third. However, eventually their persistence paid off and a 10 minute brace from Josh Sargent sent the hosts into a half time lead (33’, 43’). It was a very even second half without much to split the two sides, before Michael Esser’s mistake from Milot Rashica’s long-range effort secured the victory for SVW (59’).
