Bayern Munich suffered a 1-0 defeat at home against Werder Bremen today, Sunday, thanks to a goal from Mitchell Weiser, falling seven points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the race for the Bundesliga title. This marks Bremen's first victory in Munich since 2008 and Bayern's second loss in the league this season.
With this result, Bayern remains at 41 points in second place, with one match pending. Leverkusen has 48 points after a last-minute 3-2 win over RB Leipzig yesterday, Saturday.
The home team struggled throughout the match to penetrate Bremen's organized defense. The visiting team scored from a quick counter-attack in the 25th minute, but the goal by Justin Nyigima was ruled out for a foul at the beginning of the play. Weiser, a former Bayern player, performed better in the 59th minute, driving into the penalty area before stepping back to shake off his marker and unleashing a powerful shot past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
The home side pushed forward in search of an equalizer but lacked a clear plan, with their top scorer Harry Kane missing a golden opportunity with a header from close range in the 72nd minute. Bremen's goalkeeper Mitchell Zetterer saved a shot from Leroy Sané in the 79th minute before clearing the ball just before Kane attempted another header moments later, helping the visiting team secure a significant victory in the league this season.
