Werder put in an almost unrecognisable performance against Düsseldorf after their DFB-Pokal semi-final against Bayern in midweek, losing 4-1. The hosts went ahead after just 55 seconds through Raman and Karaman put his side 2-0 up around 20 minutes later. Max Kruse got a goal back from the spot after Davy Klaassen was fouled, meaning Werder went i n 2-1 down at the break. Unfortunately, that was as good as it got as Hennings and Suttner added a third and fourth for Düsseldorf in the second half.

Line-up and formation: Max Kruse was deemed fit for the game and started in attack for Werder. There were three changes from the Bayern game in the DFB-Pokal midweek, with Johannes Eggestein, Nuri Sahin and Sebastian Langkamp starting in the place of Kevin Möhwald, Yuya Osako and Milos Veljkovic. Werder lined up in a 4-3-3 formation.

Start sets the tone for the game

1 min: Düsseldorf are ahead – 1-0. We’d barely got started here when Hennings receives the ball and gets it to Raman, who goes past a defender or two before finishing into the corner. A terrible start.

6 mins: Werder have started badly here, and things almost get worse as Ayhan heads over the bar.

9 mins: Raman almost has his second of the afternoon, but Langkamp gets a block in to deny him at the last second.

22 mins: 2-0 to Düsseldorf. The home side hit Werder on the counter and Karaman runs half the length of the pitch, beating around five Werder players before finishing beyond Pavlenka.

25 mins: Klaassen goes down in the box after being tripped by Ayhan. The decision goes to VAR and the referee points to the spot.

27 mins: GOAL – Kruse gets Werder back into the game! The Werder captain sends the goalkeeper one way and gets his 14th goal of the season.

35 mins: Almost an equaliser as Sahin’s header hits the bar from a corner!

Half-time: Werder had a terrible start here in Düsseldorf but have got themselves back into the game through a Kruse penalty. Sahin almost levelled things just before half time, but there is still work to do here.

Düsseldorf more clinical

56 mins: Düsseldorf go 3-1 up. The home side hit Werder on the counter again as Raman finds Hennings in the middle and he touches home to put his side two goals up.

60 mins: Maximilian Eggestein tries his luck from distance, it’s spilled by the keeper, and the rebound is cleared off the line!

65 mins: Gebre Selassie puts a ball into the box and Kruse’s shot goes just wide of the post! That had to go in.

73 mins: 4-1. Giesselmann goes down in midfield and touches the ball, and the Werder players surround the referee. Somehow play is waved on and Suttner fires in his side’s fourth of the afternoon.

83 mins: Harnik has a big chance having just come off the bench, but it’s saved by Rensing.
