The end of one series and the extension of another is the score for Herta (Berlin) and Werder Bremen (Bremen) after their eighth round Bundesliga match today. The Berliners have consistently won their last three matches, but today they were content with only a point after 1:1, while the Greens-White continued their streak of draws, extending for three consecutive rounds from the German elite.

The two teams played an open match in which the attacks and strikes against the two doors were plentiful, but in the end fans in the stands saw only two goals - one in each door. Weserchadion`s first hit came quickly - Werder opened the scoring in the 7th minute when Joshua Sargent scored for the second time this season and fourth overall since making his team debut. He is the youngest player in Bremen history to sign four times in the Championship. The American teenager (aged 19 years, 7 months and 29 days) completed a well-developed home attack, albeit with a chance, after shooting from the outside of the penalty area, the ball bounced into Herta`s defender and hit the door for1:0.

The locals were looking hard for a equalizing goal, but it never came and the visitors were catching up with the result for more than an hour to reach the 70th minute. Then Dodi Luccabiou completed an individual left-handed breakthrough on Herta`s attack with a solid ground strike that was aimed at the far corner of Jiri Pavlenko and restored equality - 1:1.

Nuri Shahin, who started as the titleholder and played just over 80 minutes, recorded a match by germany world cup victory of 250 in the Bundesliga - 223 for Borussia Dortmund and 27 more for Werder Bremen.

After settling on a point today, Herta and Werder remain in tenth and eleventh place in the ranking, with 11 and 9 points, respectively.
