Werder Bremen achieved an impressive
1-0 win over Chelsea and increased their hopes to advance
to the next round of CL. In absence of the injured Zidan,
Klose and Almeida started at front while the other two
forwards Hunt and Klasnic came on near the end.
Werder Bremen drew with
Alemannia Aachen last weekend in the Bundesliga.
The Bremen based side was on the verge of a defeat but
a late equalizer from Klose put them back on track.
Tonight, Werder achieved a major victory
over the English giants Chelsea by a single goal which
came through Mertesacker in the 27th minute.
Zidan would get a chance to feature in
the big game if he was fit to play, but the Egyptian
need some time to get back to the green pitch because
of the surgery that he underwent a month ago.
Standings:
Group A Pld Pts
Chelsea 5 10 Bremen 5 10
Barcelona 5 8
Levski 5 0
It should be noted that Bremen's last match in the group
stage will be their most difficult one as they face Barcelona
in an away clash. On the other side, the group leaders Chelsea
will have an easy home fixture as they face Leveski Sofia
on the 5th of December.
