BREMEN, Germany \u2014 Werder Bremen scored twice in the last 15 minutes to beat Wolfsburg 2-1 at home in the Bundesliga on Friday.<\/p>\n
Wolfsburg\u2019s recent record dropped to seven losses in eight games and will pile the pressure on coach Paul Simonis.<\/p>\n
Simonis was hired in June after taking Go Ahead Eagles to a surprise Dutch Cup win, but he has found life difficult at his new club. Its poor league form was accompanied by a defeat at home to second-tier Holstein Kiel in the German Cup.<\/p>\n
Yet visiting Wolfsburg started brightly and when Swedish striker Mattias Svanberg finished off a nice counterattack in the 28th minute it looked like a rare win might be on the cards.<\/p>\n
However, Bremen dominated the second half, and Jens Stage\u2019s clever downward header levelled the scores with seven minutes remaining.<\/p>\n
Then Samual Mbangula took advantage of poor defending to volley a spectacular winner in the fourth minute of stoppage time.<\/p>\n
Bremen climbed into seventh place while Wolfsburg was 12th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BREMEN, Germany \u2014 Werder Bremen scored twice in the last 15 minutes to beat Wolfsburg 2-1 at home…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-269365","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
