Overview
- Wolfsburg lost 2–1 at Werder Bremen after late goals by Jens Stage (83') and Samuel Mbangula (90'+4), matching the club’s worst 10‑game points tally of eight and extending the scrutiny on coach Paul Simonis.
- Sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz declined to give a public vote of confidence and CEO Peter Christiansen said he would step aside if he were the problem, highlighting leadership pressure around the team’s slide.
- Werder extended their unbeaten run to five league matches and climbed provisionally to seventh, with Mbangula delivering the stoppage‑time winner off the bench.
- Schalke lead the 2. Bundesliga after ten rounds, and agent Tim Jerat said standout midfielder Soufiane El‑Faouzi has no release clause, is under contract until 2029 and currently views a move, including to reported suitor Dortmund, as unrealistic.
- Nürnberg beat Dynamo Dresden 2–1 with Rafael Lubach scoring after 14 seconds for the season’s fastest 2. Bundesliga goal, stretching the Club’s unbeaten streak to five while Dynamo’s winless run reached nine without a home victory; at St. Pauli, coach Alexander Blessin apologized to fans and demanded greater intensity.
