Bremen celebrates 4-0 demolition against Gladbach – coach criticized!

On Sunday, September 16, 2025, SV Werder Bremen set an impressive example and prevailed with a clear 4-0 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach. This was the first win of the season for Bremen, while Gladbach remains without a goal after the third matchday and remains in 16th place in the table. The Gladbach fans left the stadium disappointed, while the Bremen supporters celebrated their first success of the season. Kicker reports on the events of the game.

The game started with obvious pressure from Gladbach, but Bremen quickly stabilized and took control. Samuel Mbangula opened the scoring in the 18th minute. He was also crucial for further goals: In the 26th minute, Jens Stage made it 2-0, and after a penalty, Romano Schmid scored in the 74th minute. Justin Njinmah scored the final point after a fine pass from Victor Boniface in the 80th minute, which sealed the final score of 4-0. Interestingly, Gladbach previously had more possession of the ball, but was unable to capitalize on it and had no penetration in front of the goal. Sports show highlights the weaknesses in Gladbach's defense that made it easier for Bremen to score goals.

Between matches

Coach Horst Steffen from Werder Bremen was very satisfied with the team's performance and particularly praised the determination of his players. In the second half he suffered a few injuries to the team, such as when Sugawara had to be treated in the 85th minute, but that couldn't stop his team's run. Gladbach's coach Gerardo Seoane, however, was disappointed with the result and the finishing quality of his team, which has not yet scored a goal in three games.

The next challenge is already around the corner: Borussia Mönchengladbach will face Leverkusen, while Werder Bremen will face Freiburg. It remains to be seen whether Bremen can carry on the positive mood or whether Gladbach will finally get back on track. However, it is clear that there has to be a lot of emphasis in the next round for the Gladbachers, who are under a lot of pressure.

Fight to stay in the league?

The current situation for Gladbach could be worrying, especially considering the fact that they have yet to score a goal in the Bundesliga. The pressure is growing and the coming games could decide who stays in the league. Bremen, on the other hand, have certainly strengthened their ambitions with this win and could set the tone for the rest of the season. The next few weeks will show whether Bremen can take the positive momentum with them and Gladbach can free themselves from this predicament.
