After two wins in a row, SV Werder’s run came to an end with a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The Argentine Lucas Alario scored the only goal of the game after 11 minutes. Werder tried different tactics and worked hard throughout but weren’t courageous enough at times and did not create enough chances to force an equaliser. The Green-Whites were lucky to not fall further behind in the closing stages as Leverkusen did not make the most of their counterattacking opportunities. With this result, Werder remain on 14 points and 17th in the Bundesliga.
