In front of nearly 30,000: HSV Women lose derby in Bremen | OneFootball

Werder Bremen won the northern derby against HSV. In front of 26,814 spectators at the Weserstadion, the home side ran out 1-0 winners on Friday evening to celebrate their third victory of the season. Hamburg, meanwhile, remain without a win.

Especially in the opening stages, HSV only managed shots from distance, all of which Werder goalkeeper Mariella El Sherif dealt with confidently. At the other end, Magou Doucouré prevented Bremen from taking the lead: after a cross from Michelle Weiß, Mei Shimada got her head to the ball from six meters out, but Doucouré cleared it for a corner at the very last moment (17').

Three minutes later, Werder threatened again. Isabella Jaron latched onto a cross and tried to poke the ball past Kinga Szemik. The HSV goalkeeper was equal to it (20'). After that, however, the flow of the game increasingly faded. A 0-0 scoreline at halftime was the logical result.

HSV women unable to stave off defeat

After the break, Bremen increased the pressure. The lively Jaron dribbled into the box down the right and picked out Elena Dhont, whose first-time effort was brilliantly saved by Szemik (47'). Shortly afterwards, the breakthrough came: Luna Vanzeir swung in a corner to the far post, where Jaron powered home a header for a deserved 1-0 lead (49').

HSV responded, but still only threatened sporadically. Carla Morich narrowly missed the target with a curling effort (64') before El Sherif produced an outstanding save to claw Annaleen Böhler’s header away from the near corner (69').

In the closing stages, HSV coach Rodolfo Cardoso handed top talent Lotta Wrede her comeback after a long injury layoff. The 18-year-old immediately made her mark on the game and impressed with several strong dribbles. Even so, Hamburg could not find a way through Bremen’s defense. Werder held on to their lead and saw out the narrow win.
