Video: Moment of the Week in the German League - Player Blocks Three Powerful Shots with His Stomach

Werder Bremen player, Marco Friedl, heroically defended his team's goal in the match against Union Berlin in Week 31 of the German league, putting in a tremendous effort. He saved three "rocket" shots with his body. In the 16th minute, a loose ball reached Union Berlin's Robert Andrich inside the penalty area, who fired a strong shot with his right foot, but Friedl blocked it with his stomach and fell to the ground. The ball rebounded back to Andrich, who immediately took another shot, which hit a Bremen defender lying on the ground. The ball returned to Andrich again, and at that moment, the referee intervened and blew the whistle to stop play, but Union Berlin's player kicked the ball, hitting Friedl’s stomach for the third time. After this moment, Friedl got back up and continued playing until he was substituted in the 50th minute of the match, where his team ultimately lost with a score of 1-3. Following this victory, Union Berlin increased their points tally to 46, moving up to eighth place in the German football league table, while Werder Bremen remained stagnant at 30 points in 14th place.
