Augsburg looked the sharper side for long spells at the Weserstadion on Saturday, 19 September 2026, and deservedly went in ahead at the break after finding a goal against the run of nothing in particular. Bremen struggled to get going in the first half, short on ideas and unable to break down a well-organised away side. Whatever was said at half-time clearly worked, though, because the hosts came out transformed and turned the game on its head in the second period. Bremen's response was emphatic, scoring three times to Augsburg's one after the restart as the match finished 3-2. There was late nervousness when the visitors pulled one back, but Bremen held firm to see out the win. For a side that trailed at the interval, it was a huge three points, the kind that can shift momentum through a long Bundesliga season. Augsburg will be sick about this one, having done the hard part only to let it slip after the break.
The Matchup
Werder Bremen beat Augsburg 3-2 at Weserstadion, and the numbers from the match back up how the game played out. Werder Bremen also had the better share of the ball, holding 59% possession, which usually goes hand in hand with the extra control a winning side tends to show. The shot count told a similar story, with 20 attempts from Werder Bremen against 7 from Augsburg over the course of the game. Augsburg had their moments and did not make it easy from start to finish, but ultimately came up short on the day. Small margins like this one tend to add up over a season, and results such as this are often what separates teams in the table further down the line. Here is a closer look at exactly how the two sides compared, statistically.
