Fitness has been key for John Brooks this season as the American defender continued to be involved in Wolfsburg’s starting XI. Sunday saw Brooks help his side to a 1-1 home draw against Werder Bremen as he scored his second goal of the season.

After a scoreless first-half, Brooks did what he does best in front of goal as he headed home from a set-piece situation. The 26-year-old rose highest and headed into the high center of the goal to put his side ahead. Wolfsburg would have to settle for a point only as Werder Bremen equalized through Max Kruse’s 74th-minute finish.

Brooks also finished with a 89% passing completion rate, won four duels, three headers, and two successful clearances. Wolfsburg are in seventh place after the draw and next travel to Bayern Munich on March 9th.

Elsewhere, Andrija Novakovich scored his sixth league goal of the season for Fortuna Sittard. Tyler Adams helped RB Leipzig to another shutout win in the Bundesliga while Bobby Wood earned 90 minutes in Hannover’s 5-1 hammering defeat. Tim Ream and Fulham continued to struggle at the bottom of the Premier League table.

Sebastian Soto scored for Hannover’s U-19 side while Chris Gloster returned to the U-23’s starting lineup after training with the first-team late last week. Ethan Horvath and Club Brugge earned their first win since Feb. 17th., Ian Harkes and Dundee United suffered a Scottish Cup exit, and Romain Gall and Malmo claimed a win in the Svenska Cupen.
