51st minute: A second goal is very much on the cards. Ducksch controls a loose ball in midfield and plays in Schmid with his second touch. The Austrian dribbles into the box and takes on the FCU defence before getting a shot away. Unfortunately, it flies high over the crossbar.
61st minute: That looked painful. Rani Khedira attempts to bring down the ball with a high foot, but Schmid tries to do the same with his chest and the two collide. Referee Stieler has a clear view and doesn’t hesitate for a second before showing Khedira a straight red. Schmid is able to continue playing after receiving some treatment.
72nd minute: Behrens outpaces Veljkovic chasing a long ball. Luckily, Zetterer rushes out and hits it out of play, earning himself a deserved round of applause from the home crowd.
75th minute: SVW double their lead! An excellent chip reaches Marvin Ducksch, who brings the ball down magnificently. Rönnow comes of his line, but the Werder striker delicately lobs it over his head to give the Green-Whites their second!
86th minute: FCU have nothing to lose and so push forward, but a strong Werder defence is able to sniff out any danger from the visitors.
90th minute + 7: Werder are able to counterattack and play in Lynen in the area. He passes the ball through to Njinmah, who had made a run in behind, but the youngster’s shot from a tight angle is turned behind for a corner by Rönnow.
90th minute +8: Full-time! SV Werder Bremen defeat Union Berlin 2-0.
