Debut delight
On his very first appearance for the Green-Whites, Derrick Köhn - on loan from Galatasaray - scores with his first shot. Amazing.
70'
Bremen lead!
Scenes in Mainz! The ten men of Bremen have taken the lead to stun the home crowd. The hosts give up possession in attack and Werder pounce, building wonderfully up the pitch. Romano Schmid spots the run of teammate Derrick Köhn to his left, rolls a diagonal pass, and watches as Köhn rifles in at the near post two minutes after coming on.
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

One more time
A touch of head tennis in the visiting box precedes Anthony Caci's looped header that has
Zetterer scrambling back. The keeper tips over the top to save the Green-Whites again.

Zetterer again
The Werder shot stopper is having a busy time right now. This time the custodian races off his line before leaping and fisting a dangerous ball into the Bremen area.
49'
05ers go close
Michael Zetterer pulls off a smart stop to deny Lee at the back stick. It all came after the keeper palmed a dangerous corner away and Mainz had produced a goal-mouth scramble.

Mainz restore parity!
The hosts equalise, and it is one Zetterer will not want to see again. The goalkeeper comes for a cross, but collides with Stark and drops it at the feet of Lee, who taps into an empty net. One of the easiest goals the Korean will ever score.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Blow for Bremen
A setback for the visitors as Njinmah is forced off with an injury he picked up during the incident that led to the penalty. Grüll comes on in his place.

Crossbar!
Amiri has scored in all three of Mainz's games this season, and almost scores here too. His effort from distance, though, flies narrowly over the bar.

The visitors are ahead!
Bremen have lift-off from the spot! Njinmah was fouled by Kohr with his back to goal, earning his side a penalty and, from 12 yards, Die Werderaner's star striker made not mistake.

Early chance!
Mainz find themselves in a dangerous position early on, as Lee's shot from the middle of the area is deflected over the bar for a corner. The set-piece, though, ultimately comes to nothing.
