SV Werder emerged victorious from their penultimate friendly of the 2024/25 post-season on Thursday evening. The Green-Whites won 6-4 in front of 2,650 fans at the Burgwall-Stadion, with regular goalkeeper Michael Zetterer operating in an unfamiliar role.

2nd minute: Blumenthal break down the left flank before Look is picked out at the far post and he forces the ball over the line.

18th minute: The Green-Whites equalise! Alvero wins possession high up the field and lays off for Zetterer. In the style of a true number nine, our number one places the ball home with his instep.

21st minute: BSV celebrate once more after Look again profits from a cross to the back post, clinching his second with his head.

28th minute: Alvero grabs another leveller! Bittencourt dinks the ball into the box for Alvero and he lobs keeper Walter.

31st minute: Zetterer seals his brace! Njinmah surges down the left wing before setting up Zetterer, who rounds off the move from close range.

Full sail changes at the break - Opitz at the double

53rd minute: Schaper receives the chance to strike on goal from a short distance and gets the better of Backhaus.

87th minute: Paeslack breaks through the lines on the left flank once again before sending his effort beyond Backhaus into the net.

90th minute +1: Werder put the rubber stamp on victory and Kasper rises highest in the box to power a header home.
