Diehl exactly what Stuttgart need
The young substitute is adding the kind of unpredictability that Stuttgart have been lacking.

Diehl almost does it!
The youngster collects a ball over the top and sees his shot blocked. It still nearly finds its way in but instead goes behind for a corner.

Controversy!
A ball into the box sees Vagnoman pull down Weiser but Bremen are left fuming as no penalty is given. Ducksch is even booked for his complaints.

2-2! What a game!

Bremen well on top again
Köhn adds to the Bremen shot clock when he really should have provided Weiser for an easy tap-in.

Pinpoint from Ducksch
The last handful of set pieces from the striker have been excellent, he just needs a finishing touch from one of his teammates.

Nübel straight back in action
The Stuttgart keeper shows his intelligence again by coming for header from a dangerous Ducksch ball.

Köhn a threat
Köhn has been finding space well down the left and puts in another great cross. Nübel sniffs this chance out.

Bittencourt's afternoon is over
The experienced midfielder had a busy game, but makes way for Jens Stage.

Encouraging for Stuttgart
The visitors are finding Demirović in much better positions now. He has a chance cleared off the line, but he was offside anyway.
62'
Karazor tries his luck
The Stuttgart midfielder tricks his man outside the box and tries an effort from range, but he drags it just past the post.
59'
Bremen back on top
After a couple of good chances for the visitors, Bremen look like the more dangerous side once again. Weiser has two teammates to pick out for a tap in but Stergiou gets his foot on the final ball to stop a near-certain goal.
57'
Should be 2-1!
A sublime ball comes into the Stuttgart box and Ducksch just needs to nod it over the line. Perhaps suspecting that he's offside he leaves it for Weiser who misses the target from about four yards.
55'
First booking
A scrappy match from Stiller sees him given the game's first yellow card as his boot comes down hard on Bittencourt during a 50/50 challenge.
53'
Stuttgart improving
This is better from the visitors. Demirović is almost picked out at the far post again and that could have easily been two.
51'
Huge chance!
Stuttgart haven't had many chances, but when they do they're massive. Demirović picks Vagnoman out with a sublime through ball and under pressure one-vs-one he just send the ball wide of the far post.
49'
Bremen get another shot away
Stark heads over from a corner as Bremen continue on the front foot.

Back underway
Bremen get us back underway and it's anyone guess which way the second half will go.

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Njinmah again!
He's unplayable today! Coming in off the left wing he smashes a curling shot off the post and then Weiser misses with a bicycle kick on the follow up. Either effort would have been a Goal of the Month contender.

Waved off
Stuttgart stage their first piece of nice build-up play and Karazor goes down in the box ahead of the final ball. Nothing in it for the referee.

Stuttgart not having much luck
The visitors keep going long to Demirović and although the Bosnian's causing problems, Bremen are able to deal with him.

Weiser busy
Weiser is scrapping out there and wins another free-kick, this time from an angry Führich.

Bremen's possession far more effective
Once winning the ball back Bremen are straight into their opponent's final third. Bittencourt wins yet another corner but Schmid stumbles after collecting the ball in a good position in the box.
37'
Hosts in control
Bremen have kept the ball for the last five minutes and are having their best spell of possession, but another corner went to waste.
