Füllkrug extends scoring streak with late Bremen equaliser at Dortmund
Niclas Füllkrug scored in stoppage time to earn Werder Bremen a 2-2 draw at Borussia Dortmund. The goal extended his run to four consecutive Bundesliga matches with a goal, a first in his career, and was his first against Dortmund since leaving the club. Füllkrug has five goals in six competitive games this season for Bremen.
Niclas Füllkrug’s stoppage-time header at Dortmund rescued a 2-2 draw and made him the first Werder player since Max Kruse in March 2019 to score in four successive Bundesliga games. It was also his first goal against his former club after leaving BVB following 2023/24, where he had 15 goals in 43 competitive outings and reached a Champions League final.
The 33-year-old now has five goals in six competitive matches this term, with four arriving from set pieces. Bremen have recovered from losing positions in each of their past three league fixtures, taking five points, while Dortmund had won all four before this meeting. Werder next host Paderborn on Matchday 6.
Füllkrug’s late equaliser may lift Werder Bremen supporters and add momentum around the club’s next home fixture. It could also shape how fans, pundits and media discuss experienced forwards, set-piece delivery and late-game resilience. For Dortmund followers, the dropped points may temper expectations after a strong league start. The coverage could increase Füllkrug’s visibility, potentially bringing more attention from sponsors and younger players who follow Bundesliga storylines.
