The September sunshine was beating down on the pitch as SV Werder Bremen faced Borussia Mönchengladbach on Thursday evening. A generally even game was won late on by Werder thanks to an 85th-minute goal from Justin Njinmah. Lots of changes were made by both sides throughout the game, disrupting the flow of the game somewhat, but the Werder players yet to collect significant amounts of match time this season put in impressive performances. Several players from the U23 squad also slotted in seamlessly.

Following last weekend’s thrilling 3-2 win against VfL Wolfsburg, Thorup made one change to his starting line-up. Felix Uduokhai was serving a one-match suspension following his red card last time out (two yellows), and was replaced in the XI by Maximilian Bauer. Japhet Tanganga returned to the matchday squad for the first time after recovering from a knee injury. 

The hosts didn’t need long to test FCA goalkeeper Finn Dahmen, with Luca Waldschmidt’s effort going just wide in the seventh minute). Less than 10 minutes later, Köln were able to take the lead through Linton Maina (16′). However, FCA quickly shook off this setback and nearly drew level just three minutes later through Ermedin Demirović, who was denied by the left post. Phillip Tietz then got on the end of a cross from Fredrik Jensen to equalise for FCA, netting his third goal in Thorup’s third match in charge (25′). 

Both sides continued to press in seach of a go-ahead goal, with the hosts creating more, but FCA having the higher quality of chances. Niklas Dorsch nearly put FCA ahead just before the break, but his free kick from 18 metres out crashed off the crossbar (42′).
