In Bremen, local Werder hosted RB Leipzig in the 16th round of the German Bundesliga.

The teams entered the match from different ends of the tournament table. Leipzig held the third position while the home team was placed 14th.

During the first half, Leipzig had a slight territorial advantage, yet they couldn't trouble the goalkeeper of the "musicians." The ball did find the net in the 41st minute from Poulsen's strike, but the goal was disallowed due to an offside call.

The visitors took the lead early in the second half through a goal by Openda. The Belgian scored his 11th Bundesliga goal, finding the net on his third attempt against Cetterer. With just 15 minutes remaining in regular time, the hosts managed to equalize - a precise strike credited to Njinmah. No more goals were scored in the match.

It is noteworthy that this match marked the final appearance for Leipzig legend Emil Forsberg, who will be playing for New York Red Bulls in MLS starting from January.
