WERDER Bremen slipped three points behind Bundes-liga leader Bayern Munich when it capped a bad week with a 1-2 defeat at home to Bochum on Sunday.
Daniel Jensen gave Werder the lead just before halftime and the home side was in control until Benjamin Auer nipped in for an equalizer in the 68th minute.
Werder hopes were hit by a red card for center-back Naldo two minutes later and Anthar Yahia made it pay when he grabbed a late winner.
Sunday's defeat was a third disappointment for the club in six days, after the first and second teams were knocked out of the German Cup on consecutive nights this week.
It gave Bayern breathing space at the top with 39 points from 18 games after a 2-1 win over Hansa Rostock on Friday.
Werder, which stays second on 36, must travel to Bayern in the Bundesliga match next Sunday, knowing defeat would leave it six points adrift.
Schalke 04 made a great start to the second half of the season with a 4-1 home win over champion VfB Stuttgart.
Kevin Kuranyi got two goals against his former club.
Victory took Schalke back up to fifth with 32 points, one behind Bayer Leverkusen and Hamburg SV in third and fourth, respectively.
