Werder Bremen secured a home victory over TSG Hoffenheim, extending their scoring streak and climbing to fifth in the Bundesliga standings. Niclas Füllkrug and Eren Dinkci scored the second-half goals, with Füllkrug's ninth goal of the season coming in the 68th minute. Daniel Thioune had to come off early due to Mitchell Weiser's setback after his return from injury.
Despite Hoffenheim's best efforts, including a missed header by Marco Grüll and a clearance by Amos Pieper, they could not equalize. Eren Dinkci completed the win with a composed finish eight minutes from time after Grüll's sixth assist of the season. Bremen's back-to-back wins marked their first in the Bundesliga this season, while Hoffenheim suffered consecutive defeats in both cup and league play.
