* Diego commands midfield in farewell performance

BERLIN, May 30 (Reuters) - Werder Bremen beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 on Saturday to win the German Cup for the sixth time and grab the last remaining European spot for next season.

Midfielder Mesut Ozil struck in the second half with a deflected drive to end Bremen's rollercoaster season on a high at Berlin's Olympiastadion.

The win means Bremen, who lost the UEFA Cup final to Shakhtar Donetsk and finished 10th in the Bundesliga, will play in next season's UEFA Cup successor, the Europa League.

"We showed will and we showed commitment," Bremen coach Thomas Schaaf told reporters. "Playing like that in the 55th competitive match this season is something."

Bremen were dominant throughout with Brazilian Diego, in his final appearance before joining Juventus, commanding the midfield and setting up Ozil for the winner with a clever through ball.
