BERLIN (AP) – Edin Terzio led Borussia Dortmund to a 2–1 victory at Werder Bremen on his training debut on Tuesday to win a three-match winning streak in the Bundesliga.
Dortmund captain Marco Reus scored the winning goal from very close range in a rebound in the 79th minute after Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka stored his penalty attempt.
“I’m happy, relieved and tired,” Terzio said after his debut at the helm of his club. “But I don’t think he’s the only one. I am sure that one or two more people will sleep on the bus to return to Dortmund ».
Teria did not have much time to settle down after his appointment on Sunday, when his predecessor Lucien Favre was fired following Dortmund’s 5–1 defeat to Stuttgart the day before.
Teria has replaced the lineup that faced Stuttgart on Saturday, giving Youssoufa Moukoko, 16, his first outing.
But it was Raphael Guerreiro who broke the impasse in the 12th minute by lifting the ball above Pavlenka after Jadon Sancho’s shot touched Omer Toprak’s thigh again.
He drew a shot at the right post in the 28th minute, a score preceded by Manuel Akanji who wasted the ball when he pulled it out of defence.
Bremen defender Christian Groo was relieved when his attempt to clear a corner escaped from the post at 32, before Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Boerki made a brilliant stop in flight to deny Ludwig Augustinsson at 42.
Sancho had an offside at the time the visitors continued to push until Pavlenka conceded the penalty for shooting Akanji while seeking success in a rebound, he stored Reus’ effort at the point, but the ball fell well for Dortmund’s captain to tie him up. from a short distance.
DRAMA IN FRANKFURT
Lars Stindl made a hat trick in added time to save a 3–3 draw for Borussia Munchengladbach at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Captain Gladbach opened the scoring in the 14th minute, kicking a penalty at the last minute when Frankfurt’s 10-man lead led 3-1, then tied with a headbutt in the 5th minute of extra time in his moment attempt after Kevin Trapp spent his first goal. .
André Silva scored two goals and prepared for Frankfurt, but the house team had to overthrow Captain David Abraham in ’81, as he could not stand it and extended his streak without winning nine games.
Stuttgart substitute Sasa Kalajdzic scored two back goals in a 2–2 draw with Union Berlin.
“The first part is ours, the time for Stuttgart. No am disappointed. That’s another point that will help us in the count,” said Union coach Urs Fischer, whose team will host Dortmund on Friday.
In addition, Hertha of Berlin tied 0-0 for Mainz.
