Werder Bremen's victory was built on a strong team performance, with new signings Arthur, Youri Regeer, and Eren Dinkçi making their mark in the starting XI. The trio played a crucial role in the team's success, with Dinkçi scoring the opening goal in the fourth minute after being set up by Füllkrug and Chuki.
Leipzig dominated possession throughout the match but were unable to capitalize on their chances. Nkunku had the visitors' best opportunity before the interval, but his unorthodox effort from Ridle Baku's cross was straight at Hein. Leipzig continued to press after the restart, but Werder almost doubled their advantage early in the second half when Regeer's looping effort was tipped onto the crossbar by Vandevoordt.
Werder Bremen grew in confidence after that and gave themselves a two-goal cushion when Füllkrug powered home Grüll's corner midway through the second half. Grüll himself added a third with a low drive from the edge of the box, with Baku's stoppage-time effort from Maksimović nothing more than a consolation for the visitors.
The win marks a significant turnaround for Werder Bremen, who had suffered a 4-1 loss in their previous match. The team's performance will be a boost to their confidence ahead of their next match.
