Eintracht Frankfurt and Werder Bremen share six-goal thriller
BREMEN, Germany (AP) --- Werder Bremen and Eintracht Frankfurt shared the
Bundesliga points after a dramatic 3-3 draw that started with a goal in the
first minute and ended with a goal in the last on Friday.
Visiting Frankfurt took the lead after 51 seconds thanks to a lovely flicked
effort from Arnaud Kalimuendo, the on-loan striker from Nottingham Forest.
Bremen battled back and Justin Njinmah equalized by halftime.
However, it fell behind again 11 minutes into the second half when Nnamdi
Collins met a looped pass into the box and managed to guide his first-time shot
into the far corner of the goal.
Bremen, though, showed the same resilience as earlier and Jens Stage leveled
with 12 minutes left.
On-loan striker Jovan Milosevic pounced two minutes later to put Bremen ahead
for the first time and it looked like a first win since November was looming
for Die Grn-Weien.
However, Ansgar Knauff's volley from a cut back in stoppage time gave Frankfurt
the draw, although only after a tense video review confirmed the goal.
The result was fair given the see-saw nature of the game that delighted a
sell-out crowd at the Weserstadion.
Nevertheless, the game was Bremen's seventh without a win and its home form was
particularly worrying for coach Horst Steffen. It remained in 12th place.
Frankfurt was seventh.
