Skhiri chance
Ooooh, the 28-year-old Skhiri has his head in his hands after he headed into the ground and inches over from an Eintracht Frankfurt corner. That was a big chance for the visitors.

Frankfurt are back!
Scenes! Eintracht are level. Incredible. Marmoush dinks a free kick towards the far post where Tuta heads back across the face of goal. Hrvoje Smolčić only has to jump and nod in from close range. The Eagles are soaring in celebration. They were 2-0 down here.

Werder double up!
Rafael Borré has scored against his parent club and places his hands together towards the Eintracht fans. Frankfurt fail to clear a long ball over the top and Bittencourt can pop a pass in for Borré, whose header goes in off the upright. A VAR check finds no fault with that and Bremen are 2-0 ahead!

Chaïbi warning
Chaïbi goes down rather easily inside the Bremen box and the Werder players are not happy with the Eintracht man. Chaïbi has already been booked and might be in a spot of bother. The referee issues a long talk to the Algeria international, who'll need to be careful from here on in.

Max sees yellow
Max with a really loose lunge upends Schmid on the edge of the Eintracht area and that's a booking all day long.
35'
Green-Whites go close
A Bremen counter-attack comes off and the ball is pinged out to Bittencourt on the right. Werder's No.10 turns Chaïbi and sends a shot curling towards the far post. That's gone just wide.
