Schick's Masterclass and Stark's Nightmare: Bremen and Leverkusen Deliver Unforgettable Chaos
Incontournable Score Futmetrix: 87/100. A six-goal crunch match at Weserstadion exposes two crisis teams locked in desperate battle—only to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Schick Strikes Early; Bremen Answers with Defiance
From the opening whistle, intensity reached elite levels. Bayer Leverkusen needed just five minutes to strike: Patrik Schick finished a sharp cross from Niklas Tella with ice-cold precision for 1-0. The Werkself controlled play with 55% possession, yet Werder Bremen refused to fold. Mathias Tillman extended it to 2-0 in the 35th—but Bremen had already loaded their weapons. A VAR-confirmed penalty in the 42nd brought Romano Schmid back into the contest (44'). Balance restored: 2-1 at the break.
Stark's Red Card Tilts the Pitch; Schick Turns Up the Heat
The second half descended into mayhem. In the 63rd minute, Niklas Stark saw red for a foul—and Leverkusen struck instantly. Schick converted the resulting penalty with ruthless efficiency for 3-1 (64'). Down to ten men, behind, surely finished? Wrong. Substitute Isaac Schmidt arrived in the 71st and scored in the 76th after a Keke Topp assist to make it 3-2. The stakes reached their apex in the 90th: Abdoul Karim Coulibaly conjured a dramatic equalizer from nowhere. 3-3—a winner-takes-all finale where both teams somehow lost.
Two Clubs in Free Fall, One Unforgettable Match
Schick's brace (rating 8.6) was sublime, yet Bremen proved their mettle: five shots on target, 84% pass accuracy, upset factor comeback against ten men. Leverkusen dominated technically (89% passing), but concentration crumbled. With just one point each from two matches (Bremen 16th, Leverkusen 12th), this spectacle reveals the truth: both teams are drowning—and that's precisely what makes such moments unforgettable.
