Second-half highlights:
52nd minute: The Green-Whites combine well in the middle. Stage drives down the right-wing and delivers a low cross into the path of Ducksch, who spots Agu in space behind him and lets it run through his legs. However, Werder’s number 27 can’t keep it down and hits the ball over the bar.
57th minute: Hoffenheim find Bebou on the right, who squares it to Beier in the middle. He gets a shot off, but Zetterer does well to clear the danger.
70th minute: Malatini brings Beier down in the box, and referee Dr. Matthias Jöllenbeck decides to check it with VAR. He decides against a penalty for Hoffenheim, much to Werder’s relief.
73rd minute: Already on a yellow card, Marius Bülter tackles Schmid from behind and is handed a red for the offence. Hoffenheim go down to ten men.
87th minute: Justin Njinmah attempts to pull one back for Werder. He drives down the left and pulls the trigger, but the angle is too tight and he hits the side netting.
90th minute +2: GOAL FOR WERDER! Weiser cuts it back from the goal line to Skelly Alvero, who is able to hit home his first goal for the Green-Whites.
90th minute +7: The ball finds Bittencourt in the penalty area, who lets fly, but his effort goes narrowly wide of the right post.
