The red card received by N'Soki in the 18th minute was truly a nightmare for Hoffenheim, yes because the red card they received was a very fatal factor so that they had to lose after the 3-goal advantage they got until the 12th minute. I thought Hoffenheim might win with a bigger aggregate after I finally saw the red card issued by the referee. Not long after, Bremen was able to score the first goal to reduce the position, even before the first half ended they managed to equalize the score to 3-3. In the second half, Bremen was able to turn the lead around in the first 4 minutes of the second half, and that became their winning goal. This is why what happens on the field will greatly affect the game, especially if it is a red card that makes the game unbalanced.
Yes, the red card received by N'Soki was nightmare for Hoffenheim because it all happened in the first half which could still be said at the beginning of the match because it happened in the 18th minute, previously I was surprised by Hoffenheim appearance for the beginning of the first half which rained down attacks on Bremen and they got 3 goal very satisfactorily.
There was significant change after Hoffenheim played with 10 players, Bremen took advantage of all that to turn things around and sure enough there was very favorable condition for Bremen until they were able to gain an advantage with 4 goal scored.
Jens Stage became the most meritorious player for Bremen for this match because he created hat-trick, these were his first 3 goal after playing several Bundesliga matches in the 2024/25 season and he became the center of attention for all Bremen fans.
