Bremen ends Stuttgart's 11
BERLIN (AP) — Marvin Ducksch scored twice for Werder Bremen to end Stuttgart’s 11-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Ducksch dispatched a penalty in the 28th minute, then scored again early in the second half for Bremen to take a big step away from the relegation zone.
Germany forward Deniz Undav scored late for Stuttgart but couldn’t prevent the visitors’ first league loss since January, when the team lost 1-0 at Bochum.
Stuttgart remained third, on course for Champions League qualification, despite the loss.
Bremen moved eight points clear of Mainz, which was in the relegation playoff place before it played later at Freiburg. Four rounds remain after this weekend’s games.
Bayer Leverkusen, which sealed the title last weekend, was putting its German-record 44-game unbeaten run on the line when it was playing Borussia Dortmund later.
