Sargent is fouled on the edge of the box, giving Bremen one last chance. Up steps Pizarro, who curls the free-kick through the wall - taking a couple of deflections along the way - and into the net to snatch a draw for Bremen!

Here we go again as Bremen get the ball rolling once more. No changes to either side at the break.

Werder are the only team to have scored in every single one of their Bundesliga games so far this season. Can they snatch a late one to extend that streak? The last time they failed to score was in a 0-0 draw against Bayer Leverkusen on Matchday 33 in 2017/18.

The Green-Whites are pushing hard for an equaliser here, pinning Hertha back deep inside their own half. Try as they might, however, they can't get a shot at goal and the hosts don't look like crumbling in the few remaining minutes.

Lazaro is booked for a tactical foul on Augustinsson, who curls in the ensuing free-kick from wide on the left. Langkamp rises highest to meet it, directing it back across goal to Sargent. However, it's just too strong for the American forward, who stretches for the ball but can't get a toe on it.

We're into the final 15 minutes now, so Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt is going for it, bringing on Sargent and Möhwald for Bargfrede and Rashica. Can Sargent grab another late goal from the bench? He has two already this season...

Bremen have had 62 per cent of possession in the second half, up from 52 per cent in the first. Aside from a couple of hopeful long-distance punts, they don't have much to show for it though. 

Rashica is shoved off the ball by Duda and wins a free-kick midway into the Hertha half, towards the right wing. Augustinsson swings it in and the ball finds Kruse at the back post. It bounces awkwardly for him though and his attempted cross back into the middle is claimed by home keeper Jarstein.

If the 40-year-old Peruvian manages to find the target today, he will become the oldest Bundesliga scorer EVER.

The teams are still trying to find their feet in this half and there's not any real flow to it just yet, with possession changing hands very quickly. Kruse picks up the ball on the inside left channel and looks for a pass, but seeing that nobody is available he lets fly with his weaker right foot. The ball sails harmlessly wide.

The visitors have been below their usual standards tonight, no question, as Rachica sends a harmless effort wide, one of very few shots on goal. Coach Florian Kohfeldt has a job to do to get his players fired up for the second half. 

Niklas Moisander may not be a household name among Bundesliga defenders but he's most definitely an underrated player. Now 33 years of age, he isn't the paciest but he's very experienced, and he uses that experience to twice block off a run from Hertha's Davie Selke. 

It's been a scrappy opening but Bremen have had and spurned the game's first chance. Johannes Eggestein finds space in front of the Hertha defence and releases Milo Rashica, but the Kosovo-Albanian striker hesitates and lets Valentino Lazaro get back to challenge.
