BERLIN, Nov. 3-- Sebastien Haller's late winner helped Eintracht Frankfurt to beat struggling Werder Bremen 2-1 at the opener of the 11th round in Bundesliga on Friday. The "Eagles" have recorded their fifth victory of the season after Sebastien Haller shocked resilient Bremen, who have suffered their second straight loss to remain in the drop zone. Bottom side Werder Bremen took the reins from the kick off whereas Eintracht Frankfurt needed some time to gain a foothold into the game. However, despite a dominating opening period it were the hosts who broke the deadlock against the run of the game as Ante Rebic had all time and space to drill the ball from the edge of the box into the top right corner with 17 minutes played. The "Green-Whites" were shocked but regrouped to restore parity eight minutes later when Frankfurt failed to clear the ball following a corner, allowing Niklas Moisander to poke home the equalizer between three defenders from four meters. Both sides exchanged offensive actions but neither Frankfurt's Rebic nor Bremen's Zlatko Junuzovic were able to ensure the lead despite promising chances before the half time. After the restart, Frankfurt took the upper hand to work out a number of goal scoring chances. The hosts should have grabbed the lead in the 55th minute but Kevin Prince Boateng missed the open goal following a square pass from Jetro Willems. Frankfurt continued powerful as Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka had to tip Willems' effort around the post before Marius Wolf rattled the outside of the post from sharp angle around the one-hour mark. |
