WOLFSBURG, Germany (March 21, 2026) (Interstat) — Substitute Justin Njinmah scored in the 68th minute to give Werder Bremen a 1-0 victory over Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga season opener for both clubs Saturday.

The decisive play was set up by defender Moritz Jenz, who received a yellow card in the 39th minute, before assisting Njinmah’s late winner at Volkswagen Arena. The result defied pre-game projections that heavily favored the home side. Wolfsburg failed to score despite being forecast with a 64.4% win probability.

With the win, Werder Bremen begins its league campaign with a victory, while Wolfsburg starts with a defeat.
