Niclas Füllkrug double rescues Werder Bremen in wild draw with Paderborn
· Bundesliga-Official
On the 100th anniversary of Werder Bremen's Weserstadion, the Green-Whites fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Paderborn, courtesy of a second-half double from Niclas Füllkrug, who continues his red-hot scoring streak this campaign.
Goals: 0-1 Marino 18’ (assist: Tigges), 0-2 Tigges 30’, 1-2 Füllkrug 60’ (assist: Dinkçi), 2-2 Füllkrug 65’ (pen.)
To mark the occasion of the Weserstadion's 100th anniversary, the Bremen players sported a limited-edition, all-white kit for their clash with Paderborn.
Opting to not try and fix that which was not already broken, head coach Daniel Thioune named an unchaged starting XI for a fifth consecutive match, whilst Ralf Kettemann made just the one change for the visitors, introducing Steffen Tigges, who formed a two-man strike partnership alongside Stefano Marino, in place of Marvin Pieringer.
