Mid-term conclusion:
At the break in the Weser Stadium, it was 0-0 between Bremen and Berlin. Hertha had the first really good chance of the game right after a few sequences (2′). A little later, Rogel saved from Füllkrug on the other side (5′). From then on, the game was balanced, both teams ensured an intensive exchange of blows. Overall, the hosts made a slightly more dominant impression. See you soon!

… The striker gets stuck in the wall.

Bittencourt is treated longer. Ducksch is now ready…

21:16
Yellow card for Dodi Lukébakio (Hertha BSC)
Dodi Lukébakio gets the next yellow card because he hits Leonardo Bittencourt with his hand in the face just before the penalty area – a tough but justifiable decision. This gives green and white the opportunity to take the lead from a promising position with a free kick.
41
21:13
Mitchell Weiser steps on Wilfried Kanga’s foot in a corner kick for Werder. The latter then needs a few seconds to drain the pain.

21:11
Bremen currently has more of the game, at least as far as the optics are concerned. However, the home side do not create really dangerous ball possession.
36
21:09
For the first time, the game has calmed down a bit. Can a team still take the lead before the break?
33
21:04
And now Stevan Jovetić is actually leaving the pitch. With Jean-Paul Boëtius, a player with a slightly different profile is coming onto the field.

Substitution at Hertha BSC: Jean-Paul Boëtius

Substitution at Hertha BSC: Stevan Jovetić

21:03
Füllkrug unpacks a wonderful flick to the far corner halfway to the right in the penalty area. Christensen just gets to the leather and deflects the ball forward, where Bittencourt just misses.
29
21:01
Jovetić seems to have problems and is running a little rough. It looks like he won’t be able to go on much longer.
26
20:57
ducksch! Serdar wastes the ball in midfield and off we go. Füllkrug waits for the right moment to take Ducksch halfway to the right. He pulls into the box and tries a hard shot up into the near corner. The ball flies just over the box. In the middle, Füllkrug would also have been playable again.
23
20:55
Sandro Schwarz is visibly satisfied with his team’s intensive performance so far. From the outside, he fires them with “Go on, go on, come on boys!” on.
20
20:53
On the other side, Bittencourt is up and running and wants to get through to Ducksch in front of the penalty area. But Rogel is attentive and still gets a decisive hold of the leather. Then Christensen grabs.
19
20:52
After winning the ball in his own half, Lukébakio starts to sprint in the right half lane. Before the sixteen he puts the ball on the stronger left foot and so nibbles Jung. The conclusion in the direction of the long corner then lands on the goal net.

20:48
Yellow card for Wilfried Kanga (Hertha BSC)
Kanga sees the yellow card for an obvious handball near the center circle.
16
20:48
Bittencourt has some space on the left, but then stumbles while dribbling and plays a dirty pass to Jung. Kenny can only be stopped by a foul.
13.
20:46
The game still doesn’t take a break and is characterized by racy duels. However, promising ball wins often fizzle out again quickly.
11.
20:44
Gruev forces a high ball gain against Tousart and Schmid immediately marches into the sixteen. Richter comes rushing from the side and separates him from the ball with a spotless tackle.
8th.
20:40
So both teams have already been able to set an offensive exclamation mark. That promises a lot for tonight.
5.
20:37
And now the possibility on the other side! After a fine ball to Ducksch, Schmid gets the ball on the right in the box and crosses to the second post. There, Füllkrug only has to nod off, but Rogel is able to clarify at the last second.
2.
20:34
Richter has the first good chance! Jovetić is left completely alone on the right in the penalty area and then tries a mix of a shot and a low cross. Pavlenka intervenes, but the ball then jumps from him exactly to Richter, who shoots free half left in front of the box. He misses the left corner gossamer.

20:32
Into the first round! The twelfth game day is underway. Hertha in the dark blue jerseys toast. Neither, of course, appears in green and white.
20:18
Tobias Reichel is the referee for today’s game in Bremen’s Weser Stadium. Arno Blos and Christian Bandurski will assist the 37-year-old.
20:12
Kelian Nsona cannot travel north. The winger underwent successful knee surgery during the week and will be out for the time being. Apart from that, coach Sandro Schwarz has many options in terms of personnel and therefore does not want to let his cards be looked at too much in terms of the basic order against Bremen. Especially in attack, the question arises as to whether Schwarz lets Wilfried Kanga and Stevan Jovetić play together from the start or not.
20:06
And Hertha? After five games in a row without a win, the 2-1 home win against Schalke – the first of the season – even moved President Kay Bernstein to tears. The Berliners are currently four points less than Bremen, only two places behind today’s opponents. So it remains to be seen how last weekend’s win will be a chest solver for the remaining four games before the World Cup in Qatar.
20:01
15 points and eleventh place after eleven match days are a solid record. However, Werder were only able to score four points in front of their home crowd. Ole Werner’s team showed what the promoted team is capable of with support from the ranks in the last home game and the furious 5:1 win over Mönchengladbach. In terms of personnel, the situation on the Weser has meanwhile relaxed somewhat. Manuel Mbom and Nicolai Rapp as well as Dikeni Salifou will be absent. Marco Friedl also has to pass due to his red suspension. However, Milos Veljkovic and Leonardo Bittencourt are ready to play again.
19:45
The green-whites had better days behind them: there were two 0-2 bankruptcies in a row in the league, and they were eliminated from the DFB Cup nine days ago. Now the third in the all-time table of the Bundesliga has two important home games in a row in front of the chest, which should set the course for the coming weeks. With the capitals this evening and FC Schalke 04 on the next match day, two potential competitors are waiting for Bremen to stay up, even if they are still staying away from the endangered ranks.
19:33
Friday evening, floodlights – SV Werder Bremen welcomes Hertha from Berlin to kick off the twelfth match day of the Bundesliga! Referee Tobias Reichel kicks off the game at 8:30 p.m. in the Weser Stadium.
