Hamburg 2-1 Werder Bremen: Lasogga at the double to increase Werder worries

Apr 22, 2016 5:31:00 PM

Pierre-Michel Lasogga all but ended Hamburg's Bundesliga relegation fears with a double to sink struggling Werder Bremen 2-1.

A first-half brace from Pierre-Michel Lasogga gave Hamburg a 2-1 win over Bundesliga strugglers Werder Bremen.

Lasogga opened the scoring from a fifth-minute corner and doubled his tally after the half-hour, heading home Matthias Ostrzolek's cross from close range.

Werder midfielder Florian Grillitsch wasted a one-on-one opportunity between those goals and the visitor spurned an even more inviting opportunity when Claudio Pizarro won a 57th-minute penalty.
