Blumenthal made it four from four in the Oberliga Bremen with a convincing 7-1 victory over Werder Bremen III on Saturday. The match took place at Bremen - 3 stage on 22 August 2026, and the result leaves the visitors firmly at the summit of the table. By then, the home side's winless run had stretched to four defeats in as many games.
To be fair, the scoreline told you everything you needed to know about how the afternoon unfolded. The hosts entered the fixture bottom of the standings with zero points from four matches, while their opponents carried a perfect record into the encounter. One mistake ends it in matches like this, and Bremen III found themselves exposed from the opening exchanges.
The visitors have been in fine form of late, having beaten Geestemünde 7-1 on 9 August before edging past Schwahhausen 3-2 thirteen days ago. They've lost just one of their last five matches, a narrow 1-0 defeat to OSC Bremerhaven in May. And here's the thing — they arrived at this fixture fancy their chances, and the result suggested they were right.
Werder Bremen III's recent results paint a picture of a team struggling to find consistency. They had earlier survived a 5-3 encounter with Vatan Sport and picked up a 4-2 win against Sebaldsbrück in May, but those results now feel like fragments of a different campaign. The pitch cut up badly in their last few outings, but the results suggest the problems run deeper than surface conditions.
Blumenthal's position at the top of the table after four wins is no accident. They've shown they can score freely while maintaining enough discipline to avoid the kind of collapses that have haunted Bremen III. The gap between the two sides at the start of the weekend was already significant — twelve points for the leaders against nothing for the hosts — and this result only widened it further.
