Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: 1. FSV Mainz 05 gets underway.
- 2' Marvin Ducksch doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 7' Anthony Jung has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 12' SV Werder Bremen seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 17' It is a cagey affair so far. 1. FSV Mainz 05 in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past SV Werder Bremen's compact 3-5-2.
- 22' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Anthony Caci suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' SV Werder Bremen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 32' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Jan Siewert will be considering his options from the bench.
- 35' Niklas Stark picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 40' 1. FSV Mainz 05 are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SV Werder Bremen backline.
- 45' It’s a booking for SV Werder Bremen player. Jens Stage gets a Yellow card.
- 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SV Werder Bremen that had 425 games and scored 392 goals.
- 60' A quiet spell here at MEWA Arena. SV Werder Bremen seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 63' Jonathan Burkardt makes way for Ludovic Ajorque at the 63 minute mark. A tactical switch from 1. FSV Mainz 05.
- 67' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Tom Krauss.
- 69' Fresh legs for SV Werder Bremen! Rafael Borre comes on to replace Marvin Ducksch.
- 72' The whistle greets Tom Krauss as he departs to be replaced by Marco Richter.
- 77' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 79' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Nadiem Amiri on 79 minutes.
- 84' Another change for 1. FSV Mainz 05 made on 84 minute. Jessic Ngankam leaves to be changed by David Mamutovic.
- 85' Another substitution for 1. FSV Mainz 05 to replace Nadiem Amiri by Dominik Kohr on 85 minute.
- 86' SV Werder Bremen make a change. Jens Stage trudges off to be replaced by Christian Gross on 86 minutes.
- 87' 1. FSV Mainz 05 player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 88' 1. FSV Mainz 05 player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
