FÜLLKRUG AGAIN
Another late chance for the substitute with Mbom's cross deflected into the Hamburg area, and Füllkrug is onto it first at the near post, but Heuer Fernandes is off his line quickly to parry that one away.

CHANCES GOING BEGGING!
Bremen are producing more and more chances here in the final minutes with Schmidt seeing a shot blocked, before Ducksch drags a shot wide of goal from close range. It's drama right until the end!
74'
FÜLLKRUG GOES FOR IT!
The substitute is in behind the Hamburg defence and takes the ball around the goalkeeper before he goes for goal, but he slices his shot wide of the mark from 12 yards out. That may have been the last big chance for Bremen.

FÜLLKRUG ON
Last chance saloon for Bremen as Füllkrug comes on for the final 15 minutes or so.

JATTA AGAIN!
The corner is cleared to the edge of the Bremen box and is swung back into the middle by Leibold. It comes to Jatta at the back post, but he can't get his header back across goal on target.
62'
HUGE CHANCE FOR JATTA!
Jatta is played in on goal by Kittel as the Bremen defence opens right up and he's in one-on-one. Zetterer stays big and is able to parry his shot wide of goal.
59'
HEYER BOOKED!
A seventh yellow card of this game and it's Heyer into the book this time.

SCHONLAU SENT OFF!
Hamburg have now also been reduced to 10 men as Schonlau blocks Schmidt on his way to goal, and he is shown a second yellow card. Is this the moment which brings the game back to life?
50'
DUCKSCH BOOKED
Another Bremen booking here as Ducksch goes into the book for dissent.
49'
HAMBURG CONFIDENT
The away side are showing confidence on the ball, but still given it away far too easily here. Bremen will need to take advantage sooner rather than later if they want to earn a point.
46'
BACK UNDERWAY!
No changes at the break for either side as we get back underway here in Bremen, with Hamburg in control.

HEYER FOR HAMBURG!
And just like that, Hamburg have doubled their lead in first-half injury time. Jatta beats Schmidt to the byline on the right and stands up a cross to the back post which loops to Heyer, and he loops a header back across goal over Zetterer for the second.
44'
BREMEN DENIED!
Ducksch thinks he has Bremen level after curling home an absolutely outstanding free-kick from the edge of the Hamburg area, but Weiser puts himself in the Hamburg wall and therefore the goal is ruled out.
A KEY MOMENT?

UP AGAINST IT NOW
The home side have struggled here for the best part, without a shot on target so far, and now they're down a man.

GROß SENT OFF!
The Bremen captain is shown a second yellow card as he slides in late on Hamburg goalkeeper Heuer Fernandes.
31'
SCHMIDT NOT FAR AWAY!
A fantastic free-kick from Schmidt is deflected just over the crossbar by Meffert in the Hamburg wall. Bremen beginning to come back into this game with just over half an hour played.

SCHMIDT BOOKED
A second Bremen player into the referee's book, this time it's Schmidt.
25'
HAMBURG ON TOP
The away side are getting forward again in numbers, but it's the final pass which is lacking for them. However, Tim Walter's side are pressing well and winning the ball back quickly, too.
22'
KINSOMBI DOWN
Hamburg's midfielder has taken a knock to his back but looks like he should be able to continue here.

CHANCES FEW AND FAR BETWEEN
We've had one shot on goal at either end so far, and it's the one that has Hamburg in front here. Incredibly, Hamburg have taken the lead inside the opening six minutes of each of five of the last seven derby matches.
14'
WIDE-OPEN GAME
Neither side has real control of this game so far, but Hamburg are looking more calm and confident on the ball than their hosts. Jatta is getting involved on either flank, looking to use his pace to test the Bremen three-man backline.
THE PERFECT HSV START!

FOULS COMING IN
We've had four late fouls come in so far, two from each side with the derby feel ripe in this game early on.
5'
GROß BOOKED!
An early card for Groß in midfield here, he will have to be very careful now.
4'
START AS YOU MEAN TO GO ON!
We could not have asked for a more incredible start, with Hamburg ahead inside two minutes. They've made a habit of scoring in the opening 15 minutes of games this season, and have done so again here.
2'
GLATZEL HEADS HOME!
Incredible start here as Hamburg go in front inside two minutes. A couple of long balls forward see Heyer run in behind and he lofts a cross into the middle where Glatzel is waiting to head home beyond Zetterer.
1'
AND WE'RE OFF!
It's loud and intense already in Bremen, as Hamburg get us underway.
Kick-off!
HERE WE GO!
We're minutes away from kick-off in this huge game in Bundesliga 2. The Nordderby between Bremen and Hamburg has always been one of the most intense in Germany, and now we're seeing it once again tonight.
DOUBLE DUCKSCH
Marvin Ducksch has been key to Werder's uptick. He's scored three goals in two games since making the switch to the Weser from Hannover.
SEASON SO FAR
Results have picked up for Bremen in recent weeks. If they win this one, the Green-Whites will go level on 14 points with league leaders Jahn Regensburg. HSV, meanwhile, begin Matchday 7 in 11th place, on nine points.

HELLO AND WELCOME!
It's a HUGE day in Bundesliga 2 as north German rivals Werder Bremen and Hamburg lock horns. Both were recently relegated from the Bundesliga - Bremen last season and HSV at the end of 2017/18 - and both are aiming to return to the big time sooner rather than later. Who can edge ahead today?
