Werder Bremen lost 0:0 with Anorthosis! At least that is how it felt as the individual players began to describe their feelings after the game. The dissappointment was massive. On their own home turf. Werder could not overcome a side that they dominated over the full 90 minutes.
Werder Bremen had never maneged to win their opening game in a Champions League and there was to be no joy for the Green-Whites on Tuesday night at the Weser Stadium,as they took on rank underdogs Famagusta. Following a first period of constant pressure,trainer Thomas Shaafs side failed to create clear openings in the second half and after 90 minutes,the game finished disappointingly of Werder Bremen in 0:0 draw.
