Werder’s number seven crosses high in front of the goal, which is why Omlin quickly runs out of the box and fists the thing away. Then Tobias Reichel also indicates offside.
30
21:01
Gruev gets a free kick almost 30 meters from the goal. Maybe something goes beyond the standards that Ducksch brings so dangerously in front of the goal.
26
20:58
Regardless of the huge chance for Thuram, the foals will find their way back into the game better. That had already become apparent before and the suspicion is confirmed. It’s been very balanced at Borussia Park so far.
23
20:53
Thuram misses the 1-0! Hofmann is sent down the line on the right and immediately crosses flat to the five. Thuram runs in perfectly, but fails at Zetterer from close range! Of course, the goalkeeper spreads himself as much as possible, but he’s also very lucky that Thuram can’t steer the ball into one of the corners!
21
20:52
Important action by the young Fabio Chiarodia. Against the incoming Neuhaus, he keeps the upper hand and clears the throw-in.
18
20:50
The Gladbachers let the ball run again before a long through ball rolled straight into Zetterer’s arms. The men from the Rhine are a bit off track here.
16
20:48
After the two set pieces, Werder tried twice over Ducksch, who was able to launch right to the baseline only to then play flat into the defenders’ legs. It must have been Itakura both times.
15
20:46
Two corners of the guests can clear the foals. Nevertheless, Bremen come into play better in this phase and control what is happening.

20:44
Good action by Weiser! With a lot of assertiveness, he drives the ball closely followed by Elvedi down the right side and penetrates into the penalty area. He is looking for the incoming jug on the five, but a Gladbacher clears in front of his colleague with a tackle!
11.
20:42
Both sides get chances to speed up the game with passes to the front. At the same time, there is a lack of accuracy, so both opportunities peter out early.

20:40
Next half chance for the Rhinelanders! Hofmann blocks his opponent’s pass while pressing, so the ball jumps to Thuram. He plays straight into the centre, from where Stindl shoots the bouncing ball over the goal. Then the flag goes up, but the decision should still have been checked.

20:38
Incidentally, Hofmann was not ordered by Flick into the squad for the national team. Maybe that motivates him. In any case, this free-kick cross flies well to the second post, to which Elvedi runs, but shoots over the goal from a tight angle!
6.
20:37
After a long ball relay, Thuram gets a free kick about 24 meters from the goal in a half-right position. Hofmann arranges the ball.
4.
20:35
For the first time, Gladbach plays through the middle into the penalty area before a flat cross is played in front of the goal from the left. Jung clears his own five for a corner. This brings nothing at first. But the foals stay on the ball.
3.
20:33
Compared to the embarrassing start in the first leg, this starts very calmly. The home side are trying to establish some control.
1.
20:31
Gladbach toasts. The ball rolls. Let the wild ride begin!
20:29
The floodlight is on. The mood in Borussia Park is tense. It will not be long!
20:21
Tobias Reichel is traveling to the Lower Rhine today as a referee. The 42-year-old from Stuttgart will be assisted by Benedikt Kempkes and Christian Bandurski with the flags in their hands.
20:13
Bremen and Gladbach last met on October 1st and at that time Borussia had to accept the first low point of the season. Werder won 5-1, led 3-0 in the 13th minute and added the fourth goal before half-time. Marcus Thuram scored a consolation goal, but Bremen also went for it again through Mitchell Weiser.
20:05
Ole Werner also makes two changes compared to the recent defeat against Leverkusen. The reason for this is the absence of Jiří Pavlenka (illness) and Miloš Veljković (muscular problems). That’s why Michael Zetterer, who made the replacement on the sixth matchday, starts in goal. In addition, 17-year-old Fabio Chiarodia celebrates his starting eleven debut.
19:56
After a disappointing 3-0 defeat in Leipzig, Daniel Farke changes to two positions. First-choice goalkeeper Jonas Omlin returns to the goal after recovering from injury, which was previously guarded by Tobias Sippel. Lars Stindl also starts on the offensive, where he replaces the recently unlucky Alassane Pléa.
19:48
Things didn’t go much better in Bremen recently, but the atmosphere is much better. The main reason for this is the win against Bochum, which was celebrated three weeks ago and which symbolically almost equaled relegation. But Bremen have been warned, because even in the relegation season two years ago, the club from the Weser was already considered safe before a horrible season finale led directly to league two.
19:40
Apart from the obligatory win against Bayern Munich, not much has happened at Borussia in the past few weeks. One is almost surprised that in view of the ongoing criticism there is still a tenth place. So far, however, the foals have known how to throw in a win again and again. But the Rhinelanders are now even waiting for their own goals. For three games, the Gladbachers, who are otherwise so strong in attack, have had zero in front!
19:31
Neighborhood duel to kick off the 25th match day! The tenth meets the eleventh. Gladbach plays against Werder. Welcome!
