46th minute: Grillitsch goes down in the penalty area, but Aytekin waves away the penalty appeal.
55th minute: Gnabry is at the heart for Werder again. He breaks down the left and looks to get a shot away, which goes over the bar via a deflection.
58th minute: Gebre Selassie plays in a fierce cross from the right, which Gnabry control with his chest and volleys at goal from a tight angle. This shot also goes over.
66th minute: Hajrovic tries his luck from distance. Bremen are throwing everything at it, but the ball just won’t go in.
67th minute: Goal for Wolfsburg. Robert Bauer is the unfortunate scorer of an own goal…
75th minute: What can Werder do from here? Nouri gives Niklas Schmidt his Bundesliga debut.
78th minute: Bruno Henrique tests Drobny, but he makes the save. The visitors are still in front against the run of play.
86th minute: GOOOOAAAL for Werder Bremen! A more than deserved equaliser! Lennart Thy doesn’t hesistate and lashes the ball into the corner from the left-hand side of the area.
90th minute: Gnabry attacks with pace and lays it off for Junuzovic. He crosses low, but Casteels gets his fingertips to it. So frustrating…
92nd minute: GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAL FOR WERDER! THEO GEBRE SELASSIE! Somehow the defender gets the ball in the net! Incredible! 2-1 Werder! Pure ecstasy!
93rd minute: Final whistle!
Summary: what a pulsating finale! It may be a bit much to speak of another Miracle on the Weser, but the game was as good as done. The Wolves held a lead they barely deserved through Robert Bauer’s own goal. But Bremen never gave up the ghost and got their reward thanks to two late goals. Thy and Gebre Selassie were the scorers. They may have been knocked out of the DFB Cup, and they may have started the new season with four defeats, but the team lives! They showed that in impressive fashion against Wolfsburg.
