Werder Bremen pulled off a thrilling late comeback, defeating Wolfsburg 2-1 in the Bundesliga. Samuel Mbangula's dramatic stoppage-time winner secured the win for Werder Bremen, dealing a blow to Wolfsburg's struggling campaign.

The match saw Werder Bremen come from behind to claim victory, with Jens Stage equalizing earlier in the game. Wolfsburg had taken the lead, but Werder Bremen's resurgence proved too much for the visitors.

The hosts started strong, with Amos Pieper's header forcing Kamil Grabara into an early save from Romano Schmid's corner, followed by Marco Grull's angled attempt sailing over the bar. However, Die Wolfe took the lead with a beautifully crafted break, catching Horst Steffen's team off guard. Adam Daghim's clever pass found Sael Kumbedi down the right, and he provided the cut-back for Mattias Svanberg to score a clinical finish at close range.

Christian Eriksen had a chance to double Wolfsburg's lead, but Mio Backhaus made a crucial save to keep Bremen in the game. Schmid was Bremen's key player, and he almost equalized in first-half stoppage time with a ferocious long-range drive that cleared the crossbar. Bremen pushed for an equalizer, but Wolfsburg's defense held firm, keeping the score 1-0 at half-time.

As the game progressed, Bremen's pressure paid off, and they earned a deserved equalizer in the 83rd minute through Jens Stage, who expertly headed home Yukinari Sugawara's cross. Earlier, Grabara had made crucial saves to deny Grüll and keep Wolfsburg in the game. But Bremen's persistence ultimately paid off, and they pushed for more, setting the stage for a dramatic finish.
