Werder secured a 4:2 victory over Energycotbus in a Club Friendly on 1 August 2026. The match opened with Werder taking control, but Energycotbus found a rhythm that made the second half interesting. And here's the thing — the final quarter turned the fixture into something else entirely.
The opening goal came through T. Cigerci at the 6th minute, a quick strike that set the tone. Energycotbus responded with a goal of their own before the break at 45 minutes. By then the game had settled into a pattern of Werder dictating play and Energycotbus looking for moments to exploit.
What happened after the interval was different. Musah added a second for Werder at 32 minutes, extending the lead. Then came the stoppage-time storm — three goals in quick succession between 90+15 and 90+28 minutes, with Energycotbus scoring one more to round out their tally. To be fair, those final minutes were chaotic.
The statistics tell a sparse story. Energycotbus claimed 3 corners while Werder had 4. Neither side saw a yellow or red card, and there were no offsides or free kicks recorded. The match had moments, not numbers to prove it.
Recent form adds context. Energycotbus had beaten Dynamo Dresden 2:1 on 25 July but suffered a 5:0 defeat to RB Salzburg five days earlier. Werder's run included back-to-back 2:0 wins against Bochum and Fagiano Okayama, showing they can raise the tempo when they need to.
The result leaves Werder with confidence after a string of solid performances. Energycotbus will make life awkward for future opponents, but this match belonged to the visitors in the end.
