Werder Bremen and Paderborn Share Points in 2-2 Draw

Werder Bremen and Paderborn played out a 2-2 draw in Bundesliga Round 6 at the Weserstadion in Bremen on 17 October 2026, with the visitors twice surrendering a two-goal lead. Played in sunny conditions at 13 degrees Celsius, the match turned on a frantic second half in which Werder Bremen, under coach Daniel Thioune, clawed back from 0-2 down through a Niclas Füllkrug brace, the second of which came from the penalty spot. Paderborn, coached by Ralf Kettemann, had taken control of the first half through Stefano Marino and Steffen Tigges, but a first-half yellow card for Marino and their failure to hold the advantage left goalkeeper Nahuel Noll to be named player of the match after producing a strong display. Füllkrug's two goals earned him the highest rating among the home starters, while the match was officiated by referee Robert Schröder.
