Events
Match Events

- 10' SV Werder Bremen are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. VfB Stuttgart and SV Werder Bremen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 17' Deniz Undav adds to his 5 season tally! VfB Stuttgart lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
- 22' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jens Stage made 105 appearances and scored 22 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 27' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 32' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 37' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His VfB Stuttgart side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 42' VfB Stuttgart is showing some good football. However, VfB Stuttgart are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 47' The home supporters are growing impatient. VfB Stuttgart must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 52' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 57' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 62' VfB Stuttgart 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.

- 84' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 89' It is a substitution in SV Werder Bremen team. Rafael Borre is replaced by Dawid Kownacki on 89 minute.
