Heidenheim was actually close to extending the lead. All that was missing was luck. The defense didn’t look good at 2:2.

Tooor for Werder Bremen, 2:2 by Mitchell Weiser
Suddenly Werder equalizes! Deman has far too much space on the left side. He hits a beautiful cross between the six-yard box and the penalty spot. Weiser, who no Heidenheimer has on the list, climbs up there. The full-back heads the ball under the crossbar from eight meters to the left.
62.
16:52

52.
16:42
Almost compensation for the guests! Pieper undermines the entire FCH defense with a long ball. Schmid goes freely towards the goal. Theuerkauf pursues him. Schmid shoots from twelve meters with his left. His shot goes just past the left post.

Tooor for Werder Bremen, 2-1 by Marvin Ducksch
Werder scores the next goal! Ducksch shoots the penalty lazily into the middle. Müller jumps to the left, but still fends off the ball with one hand. But the ball goes straight back to Ducksch, who heads it in from close range. That was very lucky for the Bremen striker.

Half-time conclusion
Heidenheim goes into halftime with a 2-0 lead against Bremen. Right from the start, the home team took the lead thanks to a penalty from Kleindienst. After that, Bremen seemed a bit unsettled. Heidenheim used the momentum and repeatedly pressed the guests well. In the early stages, Werder barely got out of their own half. At some point the green and whites caught themselves. It was a balanced game without any major chances. Until the 40th minute. Stage should have equalized. But he put the ball over the crossbar from close range. Shortly afterwards, the Werder defense was unable to defend in the Bundesliga. So Dinkçi was invited to make it 2-0. The half-time lead for Heidenheim is deserved.
45.
16:19
End of 1st half
45.
16:16
The 2-0 score is very annoying for Bremen because the guests were actually just about to equalize.

16:14
Tooor for 1. FC Heidenheim 1846, 2-0 by Eren Dinkçi
The loanee from Bremen makes it 2-0! In the counterattack, Dinkçi gets the ball on the right side. He moves into the middle on the edge of the penalty area. No defender really attacks him. 14 meters centrally in front of the goal, Dinkçi shoots with his left. The shot goes half way to the right. Pavlenka is on it, but doesn’t defend the ball. It was weakly defended.
40.
16:11
Bremen almost equalized! Woltemade asserts himself strongly on the edge of the penalty area. Then he plays to the right in the penalty area to Schmid, who plays the perfect cross pass. Weiser slides just past the ball. Stage reaches the second post with a tackle. But his shot from close range to the empty goal goes over. That should have been 1-1.
38.
16:08
Beste brings a corner from the right side in front of the goal. Pieper clears the ball with his head at the first post.
37.
16:07
The game is now evenly balanced, with neither side having any serious chances to score.
34.
16:04
Bremen still lacks accuracy in the final third. Woltemade always has good approaches, but his shelves are not yet finding any players.
33.
16:03
Beste’s corner lands in the arms of Pavlenka.
32.
16:02
Pieringer takes the shot from a distance. His shot is deflected for a corner.

4:00 p.m
Kownacki goes down in the penalty area! Finally a long ball from Bremen finds a teammate. Kownacki goes towards the goal. Mainka is at his back. The Heidenheimer brings the Bremen down. Ittrich lets the game continue. That fits with the referee’s line, but there was already a slight push from Mainka.
28.
15:58
Bremen uses an unusual amount of long balls, which have so far found no takers.
27.
15:58
Great opportunity for Heidenheim! After a long pass over the right side, Theuerkauf brings the ball flat in front of the goal. Pavlenka misses, allowing Kleindienst to get the ball eight meters in front of the goal. A defender is in his way, so he makes a check. Then the angle becomes very acute. His shot goes over.
25.
3:55 p.m
Schmid brings the free kick into the middle. A Bremen man misses with his head. Heidenheim can clarify.
24.

21.
15:52
Kownacki would have a finishing position on the right of the penalty area, but he slips away and the chance is wasted.
20.
15:51
Bremen can’t find any means against Heidenheim’s pressing. In the final third the home team plays one-on-one. This puts the Werder defense under so much pressure that often the only solution is the long ball.
19.
3:49 p.m
Dinkçi delivers a mixture of cross and shot on goal into the penalty area from a 25-meter half-right position. Kleindienst brings his heel to the half-high ball. The ball flies in a high arc over the goal.

Beste brings a sharp corner from the right onto the second post. Jung clears with his head.
17.

Föhrenbach brings a cross in front of the goal from the left outside line. But the cross is too imprecise, so Pavlenka intercepts the ball.
16.
3:46 p.m
Ittrich has a very generous line. The players on both teams occasionally lie on the ground and are surprised that no whistle is blown. Today there is only a free kick for clear fouls.
14.
3:44 p.m
Weiser has some space on the right side. He hits a half-high cross onto the first post. But no other player comes in there. Müller catches the ball.
13.
15:43
It’s best to try it from a distance. The ball slips over his slipper and lands in the stands.
12.
15:41
Bremen isn’t really coming out of their own half at the moment. Heidenheim does it really well.
10.
3:40 p.m
Heidenheim starts very aggressively. This is causing problems for Bremen. A pass to Kownacki doesn’t go through. This brings the home team forward. Dinkçi plays the ball from the right to the middle. Kleindienst would be ready to fire. Stark provides clarification in dire need.
8th.
3:38 p.m
Pavlenka plays a risky ball to Stark. The defender can just pass the ball on before Kleindienst intervenes. That was close.
7.
3:37 p.m
Bremen has a corner from the right side. But the cross comes much too flat, so there is no danger.
5.
3:35 p.m
Tooor for 1. FC Heidenheim 1846, 1-0 by Tim Kleindienst
Heidenheim takes the early lead! Kleindienst takes care of the matter. He pushes the penalty flat to the left. Pavlenka jumps to the other corner. The start for Heidenheim couldn’t have been better.
5.
3:35 p.m
There is a penalty for Heidenheim! Jung clearly blocked the free kick with his elbow and that was not a natural arm position. That was very unnecessary from the Bremen defender.
4.
3:34 p.m
The best attempt is blocked by the wall. But it’s clearly Jung’s arm. Ittrich looks at that again.
3.
3:33 p.m

Game start
2:48 p.m
Ole Werner only makes one change at Bremen after the strong performance against Mainz. Marvin Ducksch will be represented in attack today by Nick Woltemade. Ducksch suffered from a minor thigh injury during the week. That might be the reason for this change. But at least he’s on the bench. However, Naby Keïta cannot be found there. The new signing is not yet back in the squad after his adductor injury.
2:44 p.m
Frank Schmidt makes two changes to the home team compared to the 2-2 draw against Dortmund. Thomalla and Beck, who played in the eighth position two weeks ago, will be replaced by Föhrenbach and Pieringer. The system changes from a 4-1-4-1 to a 4-4-2. Pieringer plays in the attack alongside Kleindienst. Föhrenbach starts in left defense. For this, Theuerkauf moves to the six.
2:39 p.m
Werder got their first win of the season before the international break and thus prevented a bad start to the season. In the 4-0 win against Mainz, the Hanseatic League was particularly impressive in its quick transition game. Today against Heidenheim and in the coming weeks against Cologne and Darmstadt, the course for the season will be set. Can Bremen establish themselves in the middle of the table or are they once again playing against relegation?
2:31 p.m
Before the international break, 1. FC Heidenheim scored the first Bundesliga points in the club’s history. In the surprising 2-2 draw in Dortmund, even more was possible. A win against Hoffenheim the week before would also have been possible. The newcomer has not yet rewarded himself for good performance. But he shows that he is absolutely competitive. Today against Bremen the first threesome should finally be celebrated.
14:26
Hello and welcome to the 4th matchday in the Bundesliga. Today at 3:30 p.m. 1. FC Heidenheim welcomes SV Werder Bremen.
