German Bundesliga News :: Monchengladbach secure first win

Posted on 2008-08-31 by Gooner

Promoted Borussia Monchengladbach grabbed their first win of the season with a 3-2 victory over Werder Bremen.

Bremen have made their worst Bundesliga start in nine years as two draws were followed by this defeat.

Werder had playmaker Diego back from the Olympic Games, but the hosts drew first blood in front of 54,067 fans in the Borussia Park as Marko Marin set up Karim Matmour (12) for the opener.

Bremen had a lot of possession, but Borussia were way more clinical in front of goal. Rob Friend added a second goal with a well-placed header on the half-hour mark.

Alexander Baumjohann seemingly put the result beyond doubt with a sensational solo effort 20 minutes from time which made it 3-0.

Late goals from Pizarro (79) and Diego (89) brought Werder back into the tie, but the hosts held on.
