(CNN) Werder Bremen, the team with the most seasons in the Bundesliga, is facing the drop after a 1-0 home defeat to Wolfsburg Sunday in a match that featured another show of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd. Dutch international Wout Weghorst headed home the winning goal with eight minutes remaining to lift his side to sixth and into the Europa League qualification spot, his 12th of the season. By stark contrast, Florian Kohfeldt's slumping side is second-from-bottom, six points from automatic safety and three adrift of the relegation playoff place, with just four games remaining. Since the inception of the Bundesliga in 1963, Werder has been in the German top flight for 55 years, only being relegated in 1980 before bouncing straight back the following season. But the double winners in the 2003/04 season have struggled in recent years and form has been poor since the restart of the current campaign, losing two straight home matches.
