SCIENZA!!!!!!!
Heidenheim come back for the third time. The fouled player takes it himself and curls the ball over the wall into the goal. Zetterer gets a hand to it but can't prevent it from going in. High drama!

The equaliser once again!

Good idea

Half-time in Bremen
What a first half at the Weserstadion! Werder Bremen make a flying start, taking the lead through Grüll after just 45 seconds and dominating early proceedings. Heidenheim recover remarkably well from the early setback, including two injury-forced substitutions, and fight their way back into the match, surprisingly equalise through Schöppner in the 30th minute. Since then, both teams have been engaged in an open exchange of blows with good chances on both sides. Everything is still to play for – the second half promises pure excitement!

Excellent pass
Krätzig raises his head at the left corner of the penalty area and serves Pieringer in the centre. The pass is well-timed, Pieringer reaches the ball at just the right moment, sticks out his foot and misses the goal with his low shot by mere inches.

First corner
Wanner delivers the cross from the right side towards the goal. Zetterer is unsure whether to claim it, but there's no one behind to meet the cross. Lucky escape for Bremen.
24'
Nice variation
After Kerber's tactical foul, there's another good free-kick opportunity for Bremen. Ducksch feints a cross, but then plays it low to the right side to Weiser. The winger uses the element of surprise and tests Müller at the near post, but he's there and clears it for a corner.

Good save

Lightning start!
The ball is in the net after just 45 seconds! The attack begins on the left side. The visitors combine their way into the penalty area through Schmid. The Heidenheim defence completely loses sight of Grüll, who is left all alone in the box. Grüll receives the ball and shoots on the turn, Mainka deflects the ball poorly and it's in!

Gutted!
Föhrenbach appears to have injured himself during the warm-up in Bremen. The defender required treatment and limped off the pitch with heavy strapping. It's still unclear who will start in his place.
Heidenheim also make a change
Frank Schmidt also makes a positional change compared to the 2-0 win over Union Berlin: Pieringer starts for Scienza, who ison the bench.
One change for Bremen
There is one change for Werder from their last outing: Veljković starts at the back in place of suspended captain Friedl.
