Two late subs
Veljković and Deman replace Jung and Köhn as Werder look to see out the win.

Stage seals it!
Weiser weaves his way down the right flank before clipping it to Schmid on the edge of the box. The Austrian takes aim, but his shot inadvertently comes off of colleague Ducksch's heel. Fortunately for the attacker, it sits up nicely for him to square it across the six-yard box to Jens Stage, who taps it home for Werder's fourth of the afternoon.

Still all to play for
With Bremen looking to see out the victory, Union are seeing plenty of the ball. Can they turn this possession into chances to help them get back into the game?
79'
Second Bundesliga appearance for Prtajin
Union's summer signing comes on for what remains in this game.
76'
Werder scramble clear
After Zetterer spills from Juranovic's corner, Friedl intervenes to head it away from the area and prevent another Union goal.
73'
First Bremen change
Ole Werner makes a change up top as he brings on Burke in place of double goalscorer Grüll.
71'
Svensson's next roll of the dice
The Dane brings off Khedira and goalscorer Schäfer for Kemlein and Tousart.
68'
Köhn causing problems
The wing-back puts another flat cross into the box which looks like it could lead to a goal. An Union defender slides into to clear the ball, but every time Köhn has the ball in the left channel, things happen for the home side.
65'
Powerful shot from Skarke
The substitute sends a fierce effort towards goal, and Zetterer manages to get a hand to it to tip it over the bar. The resulting corner yields nothing for the visitors.
62'
Ducksch goes for the spectacular
Köhn picks out Ducksch at the back post with a cross from the left, but the Bremen attacker is unable to connect well with the ball and it goes wide.
60'
Undesired corner routine
A lack of communication between the Union players as they try and play it short from a corner results in the ball rolling into the path of Köhn, who is able to clear.
58'
Zetterer gets there first
A backpass from Schmid towards his 'keeper offers the Union attacker a chance to nip in and take the ball in front of Bremen's penalty area, but Zetterer reacts fastest and clears the ball away in the nick of time.
57'
Back underway
A drop ball gets things going again at the Weserstadion.
55'
Game stopped
Referee Exner has halted things for the moment due to there being a lack of visibility on the pitch.
54'
Corner comes to nothing
After the set-piece is delayed due to a brief stoppage, the visitors send the corner in, but nothing comes from the chance and Zetterer collects.
49'
Almost an ideal start
Hollerbach picks up the ball on the edge of the box and dribbles into space in the area before trying to tuck it into the bottom-left corner, but his shot goes just wide of the far post and out for a goal kick.
46'
Double change at the break
Union, who made two changes at half-time, kick the second half off.

Stoppage time
There are to be a minimum of four minutes of added time.

Two-goal cushion restored
Köhn plays a one-two with Schmid down the left flank before crossing it low into the box. Weiser pops up at the edge of the six-yard box to turn the ball home to make it 3-1 to Bremen.
42'
No takers
A flat cross from the right flashes across the Bremen box, but there is no one in black on hand to divert the ball towards goal, as it exits the area on the left side.
40'
Zetterer claims it
An in-swinging corner from the away side comes in from the right and sails over the six-yard box, but the Bremen keeper gets up to catch the ball ahead of the Union attackers.
37'
Final pass lacking
Bremen move the ball forward well on two occasions, but both chances are squandered with the hosts failing to pick out the right pass into the box to set up a shot on goal.
34'
Vertessen looking lively
The Union attacker tries to knock it past Jung as he heads towards goal, initially getting the better of the Bremen defender, but Jung recovers to clear the ball.
33'
Union looking to draw level
The visitors haven't let Grüll's double affect them, netting a goal for themselves and now getting forward at every opportunity in search of an equaliser. They are seeing more of the ball than they did in the opening 20 minutes.

Schmid drags it wide
Ducksch rolls it across the edge of the box to Schmid, who takes one touch inside before trying to pick out the bottom-left corner with a precise shot. However, the shot lacks conviction and dribbles wide of the target.
23'
Good response from Union!
At the back post, Schäfer gets on the end of Rothe's brilliant cross towards the back post and volley it into the roof of the net, giving Zetterer no chance and halving the arrears for the visitors.
19'
Into the book
Bremen's captain receives a caution for a foul on Hollerbach, conceding a free-kick in a decent position for Union.
17'
Great finish!
A flat cross in from the left from Köhn comes to Grüll near the edge of the box, who sweeps it into the roof of the net with a first-time, left-footed finish to double the Green-Whites' advantage.
13'
Grüll opens the scoring
Two of Bremen's Austrian contingent link up to give the hosts the lead. Schmid whips in a cross from the right, and it finds the head of Grüll, who powerfully nods it into the bottom-left corner.

First chance for the Iron Ones
Bremen fail to complete a headed clearance from their own penalty box, and it comes to Querfeld on the right of the area, who nods it back across towards Leite. The defender heads it towards goal, and forces a strong reaction save out of Zetterer.
8'
Woodwork!
Leite struggles to deal with the high ball, and heads it backwards into the path of Ducksch. Bremen's No. 7 charges through onto goal with the ball sitting up, but his left-footed half-volley clips the top of the crossbar before sailing over.
5'
First caution
Doekhi goes into the book for a foul on Schmid.
3'
First duel
Zetterer plays it in behind into the path of Grüll, who takes on Leite. The attacker is shepherded out onto the left flank and is ultimately robbed of possession by the Union defender.

Play on
The hosts, wearing their green-and-white home strip, including their altered Christmas-tree crest as they usually do at this time of year, get things going against Union (in all-black) at the Weserstadion.

Minute's silence

Iron Ones by name, Iron Ones by nature
