Second-half highlights:
49’: GOAL! Marco Friedl makes it 1-0 to SV Werder Bremen! Following a corner-kick, Leonardo plays a clever one-two with Mitchell Weiser which sees our number 10 into some space in Aue’s box. He sends a sharp, flat cross into the danger area, and Marco Friedl is on hand to divert the ball into the back of the net under Klewin’s legs. YESSS! Keep going, Werder!
67’: Marco Friedl tries his luck from long-range, and his left-footed effort flies just wide of the right post. Good try!
72’: Mitchell Weiser dribbles strongly and reaches Aue’s penalty box. The wing-back then squares it to Niclas Füllkrug who has a shot on goal. It takes a deflection and goes just wide of the left post, and Bittencourt’s resulting corner also doesn’t bring anything.
80’: Dirk Carlson is stretchered off, but he holds a thumb up to say thank you to the fans who applaud him off the field. We would also like to wish Dirk Carlson all the best with his recovery!
87’: Aue turn up the pressure! Substitute Jan Hochscheidt makes a brave run in behind and finds some space on the left-hand side of Werder’s penalty box. Pavlenka comes out to close him down and Hochscheidt tries to squeeze it in at the near post, but Pavlas gets a touch to it to make sure it goes out for a corner, and the Werder defence manage to clear the resulting set-piece.
90+2’: GOAL! Niclas Füllkrug makes it 2-0 to SV Werder Bremen! YEEEES! Lücke receives the ball from substitute Niklas Schmidt and readies himself for a shot before firing at goal. His effort takes a slight deflection and sails into the far corner. What an important goal!
90+6’: GOAL! Niklas Schmidt makes it 3-0 to SV Werder Bremen! That’ll do it! Substitute Eren Dinkci does well down the left-hand side before picking out Niclas Füllkrug, who does well to turn in a tight space and lay it off for Niklas Schmidt, who has no problems tapping it home for Werder’s third. Well played!
