The Werder players left the pitch to
whistles and faint applause, the disappointment after the home defeat to FC Augsburg
was clear to see. The Green-Whites prepared well and wanted to get their first
win of the season on the second matchday. Sporting director Frank Baumann had
this to say after the match: “We started the game well and went into the break
with a deserved 1-0 lead. Even in the second half we had some good moments and
should have had a second penalty. We were caught out by a set-piece and lost
our thread. We’re very disappointed by the defeat.”
