Werder Bremen beat 1 FC Heidenheim 2-0 in the 24th round of the Bundesliga, ending a 13‑match unbeaten run. Jovan Milosevic opened the scoring in the 57th minute with a header from a cross by Romano Schmid. Prior to that, Werder had squandered several quality chances, including a missed close‑range shot by the same player.
In the first half Werder dominated possession but could not convert. Heidenheim improved late in the half, creating a few chances that ultimately went unanswered. Both teams displayed uncertainty, reflected in numerous misplaced passes and unused opportunities.
The second half saw Werder raise the pressure, and Milosevic’s goal cemented the lead. Heidenheim pushed for a comeback but was thwarted by Werder’s solidity and its own lack of finishing. A stoppage‑time own goal from Hennes Behrens sealed the result. Consequently, Heidenheim remains bottom of the table, while Werder gains valuable breathing room, moving into the relegation zone but a point ahead of the leaders.
