SV Werder Bremen's defense is struggling badly in their opening Bundesliga match against SC Freiburg. The team is currently trailing 4-0 at the back end of the first half. Daniel Thioune, who many had predicted as the first coach to be sacked, saw his side's problems at the back exacerbated further. Yuito Suzuki opened the scoring with a header in the 29th minute, and was soon followed by Igor Matanović adding a second goal with a superb strike from 25 yards.
The second half began, and Suzuki added a second goal just three minutes into the restart, before Matanović completed his hat-trick with a fine solo effort in the box. Despite both Füllkrug and Reis starting the match, it doesn't appear to have improved the defense's situation. Will Bremen be relegated at the end of the season? At this stage, it's difficult to say, but the current 4-0 deficit is a serious concern.
