Eighty-five minutes gone. Werder Bremen trailing 2-0 away at the Bundesliga leaders. And one Stake bettor needed just one Bremen goal to save a $51,920.94 bet.

Most fans had written Bremen off by then. Three minutes later, Ludovit Reis scored and turned a lost cause into a $163,550.97 payout. Niclas Füllkrug's stoppage-time equaliser was just the cherry on top.

How the Match Unfolded at Signal Iduna Park

Dortmund came into this match top of the table with four wins from four. Bremen sat eighth on seven points. For 80 minutes, neither side had found the back of the net, with Bremen goalkeeper Karl Hein making multiple saves as Dortmund piled on pressure. Then the final ten minutes went wild.

Minute	Goal	Score
80'	Daniel Svensson (Dortmund)	1 - 0
85'	Nico Schlotterbeck (Dortmund)	2 - 0
88'	Ludovit Reis (Bremen)	2 - 1
90+2'	Niclas Füllkrug (Bremen)	2 - 2

With 87 minutes on the clock, Bremen still had zero goals, then Reis struck from the edge of the box to give the away team hope. That goal settled the bet. Füllkrug then headed in Marco Grüll's free kick in stoppage time, sending Werder’s supporters into wild celebrations.

Team Total Goals Market

This win came from a team total goals market, not a match result. The bettor did not care who won. They only needed Bremen to score once.

That is the appeal of team totals on Stake Sportsbook. You can back one side's attack without picking a winner. A 2-2 draw paid out in full here, while a Dortmund moneyline bet would have lost.

Live betting adds another layer. Prices shift with every minute, so a goalless game can turn a simple Over 0.5 into a 3.15 shot. The flip side is clear too. Without Bremen's late fightback, the whole stake would have been gone.
