Mohamed Zidan's Werder won their
away Bundesliga clash with Nuremberg by two goals to
one. Frings gave the guests the lead in the 32nd minute
while Diego added the 2nd in the 79th minute. The only
goal for Nuremberg came in the last minute via Banovic
who scored from a penalty kick. Egyptian striker Zidan
wasn't available to play the match as he needs more
time to recover after the surgery that he underwent
last week.
Zidan's Werder secured the top spot in
the table after their away victory against Nuremberg
on Tuesday night. The Bremen based side returned back
home with precious three points as they achieved a 1-2
victory.
Werder scored a goal in each half, the
first goal came through the midfielder Frings in the
first half while the attacking midfielder Diego scored
in the 2nd half to make the score 0-2.
In the last minute of the game, the referee
awarded the homeside a penalty kick, from which Banovic
scored their only goal.
Egyptian star Zidan was once again out
of selection because of the surgery that he underwent
last week and will keep him out of action for 2-3 weeks.
It should be noted that Werder are currently on top of the
Bundesliga table with 23 points out of 11 matches. Stuttgart
come 2nd with 21 points while Bayern Munich are in the 3rd
spot with 17 points. However, the Bavarians still have a
match in hand.
It is clear that Werder Bremen are enjoying
their best season in the last few years, but this is not
the same for Zidan who didn't play many games and also suffered
from frequent injuries.
