52nd minute: Werder certainly haven’t thrown in the towel. Kruse makes his way past Lahm and pokes the ball to Gnabry who turns and slices the ball wide.
53rd minute: GOOOAAALL! Max Kruse pulls one back! Junuzovic plays Kruse in with a pin-point pass. Werder's No. 10 shows some good footwork to deceive Alaba and finish past Neuer!
66th minute: The Green-Whites are proving to be more than a match for Bayern as they search for an equaliser.
69th minute: Martinez doesn’t head the ball clear and Eggestein rises higher than Kimmich on the edge of the box to find Kruse on the left with his head. The goalscorer takes on the shot first time and volleys just wide from a tight angle.
81st minute: Nouri has done everything to try and find a second goal, making attacking changes in Bartels and Kainz, but no luck so far.
87th minute: “WERDER, WERDER, WERDER!” The atmosphere at the Weser-Stadion is electric, as the Green-White fans get right behind the team!
91st minute: Wiedwald is called into action late on, he saves a close-range Kimmich effort with his feet.
93rd minute: The final whistle. It just wasn’t to be for the lads tonight, as they leave empty handed despite a top performance.
Summary: Werder weren’t just solid at the back and defensively minded, but looked dangerous on the break in the first half and brought the game to the record champions in the second. The Green-Whites were unlucky to go into the break two goals down and whoever though Nouri’s men would just give in was mistaken. Werder struck back early in the second period through Max Kruse and impressed with an adventurous performance in front of their roaring home fans. There was however no happy ending for SVW, as Bayern held on to their one-goal advantage to take all three points back to Munich.
