Leverkusen Remains Unbeaten in a Record-Breaking Draw Against Werder Bremen


In an intense showdown in the Google Pixel Women’s Bundesliga, Bayer 04 Leverkusen managed to maintain their undefeated streak with a 1-1 draw against SV Werder Bremen.

The atmosphere was electric as both teams fought hard, delivering an exciting match that ended with a dramatic late equalizer from Bremen’s Sophie Weidauer.

Leverkusen’s Lead and Bremen’s Late Comeback

Leverkusen broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute when Caroline Kehrer capitalized on a defensive error by Bremen. Her shot, deflected by Bremen’s Juliane Wirtz, left goalkeeper Livia Peng with no chance, giving Leverkusen a 1-0 lead. Despite the setback, Bremen kept pressing and, in the final moments of the game, mounted an aggressive offense. Bremen's persistence paid off when Sophie Weidauer finally found the net in the 90th minute, firing the ball in off the post to secure a vital point for her team.

The match was a defensive struggle for most of the first half, with both teams creating limited scoring opportunities. Bremen’s defense, led by Hanna Nemeth, did well to contain Leverkusen’s attacks. For Leverkusen, goalkeeper Friederike Repohl stood out, making key saves against Bremen’s attempts and keeping the visitors in the lead until the final minutes.

Key Takeaways and Player Performances

Leverkusen coach Roberto Pätzold praised the match as a "great advertisement for women's football" and acknowledged Bremen’s strong performance, especially in the first half. Despite conceding a late equalizer, he felt the draw was fair given Bremen’s relentless second-half pressure. Leverkusen’s goalkeeper and captain, Friederike Repohl, expressed frustration at conceding a late goal but noted the positive impact of playing in front of such a large crowd.

On the Bremen side, coach Thomas Horsch made strategic adjustments to the lineup, bringing in Hanna Nemeth for Lara Schmidt in central defense and Juliane Wirtz in midfield. Meanwhile, Leverkusen’s lineup changed due to the absence of winger Synne Skinnes Hansen, who missed the match with a thigh injury. Juliette Vidal started in her place, and U20 national player Ida Katharina Daedelow made her Bundesliga debut.

Impact on the League Table

The draw means Bayer Leverkusen retains their second-place position with 14 points, just one point behind league leaders Bayern Munich, who suffered a rare defeat to VfL Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg’s win over Bayern has tightened the race at the top, with Bayern, Leverkusen, and Eintracht Frankfurt (who are yet to play their Matchday 6 fixture) all closely bunched. Wolfsburg now sits at 13 points, only two points off the lead, and Eintracht Frankfurt could also close the gap with a win over SC Freiburg.

For Werder Bremen, this point is significant, as it breaks a string of three consecutive losses and brings them to five points, helping them climb in the standings. Their late comeback showed resilience and could serve as a morale boost for the matches ahead.

 Conclusion

The 1-1 draw between Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen keeps the Women’s Bundesliga title race open, with multiple teams in close contention. The large crowd at Weserstadion and the thrilling match underscored the rising popularity of women’s football in Germany. As Bayern’s lead narrows and Leverkusen remains undefeated, fans can look forward to more competitive matches in the coming weeks.
