Not long after having an effort cleared off the line, Wolfsburg take a 2-0 lead thanks to Majer's fifth goal of the campaign. The Croatian ran clear before applying a delightful chipped finish. The visitors are headed for their first win this year.

Wolfsburg down to 10

Both sides have been reduced to 10 men now after Maxence Lacroix is sent off for the third time in his Bundesliga career. The defender slipped up in possession, allowing Romano Schmid to nip in. It looked as if the Werder man would break away towards goal, until Lacroix intervened.

Majer misses big

Lovro Majer misses a sitter to put Wolfsburg 2-0 up. The visiting No. 19 finds himself right in front of Michael Zetterer with time to pick his spot. The Werder goalkeeper makes the save, however.

Pavao Pervan gets down to make a superb stop from Nick Woltemade, who had found himself in plenty of space on the left. The Werder fans were certain Woltemade was going to score there.

Werner on Wolfsburg

"Teams tends to be really fired up after a change of coach. You have less of an idea what you are going to face. The coach was in a different league most recently, but you can still get hold of a lot of information."

Hasenhüttl on his first match as Wolfsburg coach

"It is important that the initial content that you set as a trainer is also backed up with results. This helps enormously to strengthen our belief in what we are doing. I have a team here that pulls together very well and is motivated to implement things immediately."

Winless Ws searching for a W

Werder have not won in four and have lost each of their last three, while Wolfsburg are 11 without victory in the league (D6, L5) - the club's longest-ever winless run in a single top-flight season.
