First-half highlights:
7th minute: The hosts take the lead with their first chance of the game, as Justin Obikwu nets the opener.
18th minute: Werder look to break through down the left flank via Olivier Deman. After having a cross blocked, he looks to put his second attempt on target but is denied by goalkeeper Wilson. The rebound falls to Justin Njinmah, but his shot is also saved. Grüll is also able to get a foot to the ball, as Werder’s third attempt in a matter of minutes is blocked.
20th minute: After a loss of possession in midfield, Fabio Tavares is able to drive towards goal and slots home into the bottom left corner. 2-0 to Coventry.
28th minute: Harvey Broad lays the ball off to Tavares at the edge of the box, who back heels it to Elliot Betjemann. He’s able to add a third for Coventry from around 17 metres out.
39th minute: Deman is able to float a cross into the box, where Njinmah is waiting to strike. His first-time attempt goes over the bar, however.
