Werder Bremen Tops Stuttgart 2-1, Burke Scores Late Brace

Werder Bremen secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over VfB Stuttgart, with Oliver Burke scoring a last-minute goal to condemn Stuttgart to their fifth consecutive home loss in the Bundesliga. After Stuttgart initially took the lead in the 19th minute through Leonidas Stergiou, Burke equalized in the 32nd minute with an assist from Mitchell Weiser. The match turned when Stuttgart's Nick Woltemade received a second yellow card, reducing them to ten men. Despite being a man down, Stuttgart managed to hold on until Burke found the net again in the 90th minute, sealing the win for Bremen. This result allows Bremen to leapfrog Stuttgart in the league standings, moving them closer to European qualification, while Stuttgart's struggles continue as they sit five points off those positions. Coach Ole Werner praised Weiser's contributions and the team's cohesive performance, which was pivotal in their comeback.
