Augsburg get late 3-2 over Bremen; Frankfurt fight 2-0 past Darmstadt
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 05 - 02 - 2017


Raul Bobadilla scored deep into stoppage time as
Augsburg stole a 3-2 Bundesliga victory over ailing Werder Bremen
after coming from behind twice in the game on Sunday, according to dpa.
The Paraguay forward Bobadilla artistically fired home with his right foot against two defenders for an improbable winner in the fourth and last minute of added time.
The win lifted Augsburg to 10th while 15th-placed Bremen remain in the relegation dogfight.
Eintracht Frankfurt meanwhile returned to third place with a hard-fought 2-0 derby win over bottom club Darmstadt, prevailing from a late penalty by Makoto Hasebe and Ante Rebic. Frankfurt have 35 points in a tight race for European berths with Borussia Dortmund, Hoffenheim (34 each), Hertha Berlin (33) and Cologne (32). Bayern Munich lead the way with 46 points from RB Leipzig who have 42.
Bremen meanwhile remained on 16 points, only above the danger zone starting with SV Hamburg on goal difference after now three straight defeats and five games without victory. Ingolstadt have 15 and Darmstadt nine.
It was an unlucky defeat for the northern Germans who led twice from Theodor Gebre Selassie's 26th-minute tap and Max Kruse's converted penalty in the 65th but failed to get a decisive third on several occasions. Bobadilla had also superbly set up Jonathan Schmid for Augsburg's first in the 28th with a back-heeler, and Koo Ja Cheol volleyed their second in the 79th to set up the dramatic finale which lifted Augsburg eight points clear of danger.
"There is no better feeling. We fought until the end and did everything right," Bobadilla told Sky TV.
Bremen sports director Frank Baumann said: "We are in a very very difficult situation and can only get out of it together." Frankfurt meanwhile had a hard time against stubborn Darmstadt who defended well and almost went ahead from Peter Niemeyer in the 34th.
But Alexander Milosevic then wrestled down Jesus Vallejo and Haebe cooly converted from the spot in the 74th. Rebic wrapped up matters in the 83rd, tapping in a low cross from Alexander Meier as Frankfurt can continue dreaming of a place in Europe although the club continues a cautious approach. "It was tough game, a derby. Darmstadt aimed to keep a clean sheet.
We knew we had to make the most of the chances we would get, and we did that. I am very stisfied," Frankfurt sports director Bruno Huebner said.
"Right now we are just happy to have stability over the past six months. But if it continues like this we will set new goals for ourselves."
