A goal from Nico Elvedi gave victory to Borussia Mönchengladbach (1-0) on Tuesday, which rose provisionally to sixth place, and caused the defeat of Werder Bremen, frustrated by not being able to take the step forward in the table they need to get away from the descent.
Elvedi, who had not scored a goal in the Bundesliga for a year and two months, made the difference from set pieces. His header on a free-kick by Laszlo Benes was the winner of the duel after the hour of a tight match for his team, which held the 0-0 in the first half due to a phenomenal save from Yann Sommer to Schmid's precious volley when Werder Bremen was better.
Already in the final stretch, the post repelled the 1-1 with a shot from Rashica and left Werder Bremen with nothing, who perhaps deserved more and who is twelfth. Borussia Mönchengladbach, six places up, have won three of their last four games in the German championship.
