BERLIN (AP) — Assan Ouedraogo added to his burgeoning reputation with a brilliant strike in Leipzig’s 2-0 win over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
The 19-year-old Ouedraogo, who made his Germany debut in World Cup qualifying last week, let fly with his left boot to open the scoring from around 20 meters (yards) in the 63rd minute. It was his third goal of the season.
The visitors threatened an equalizer until Xaver Schlager sealed the win in the 80th, helping to get Ole Werner’s team back on track after a loss to Hoffenheim ended its eight-game unbeaten run before the international break.
Werner previously coached Bremen, where he was fired after declining to extend his contract.
St. Pauli in trouble
Rani Khedira’s strike before the break was enough for Union Berlin to beat St. Pauli 1-0 and deal the Hamburg team its eighth consecutive league defeat.
“We’re not going to win the next game against Bayern by a lot,” St. Pauli president Oke Göttlich said of the team’s trip to Munich next weekend.
Bayern Munich matched its record 43 consecutive rounds at the top on Saturday.
