46th minute: Goal for Augsburg. Ruben Vargas makes it 2-2. Can you believe it. The second-half has barely begun as Niederlechner leads a counter-attack down the right-hand side, before laying it on a plate for Vargas who only has to put the ball into the net.
57th minute: Osako cuts inside from the left and aims for the top-right corner, narrowly missing the target.
67th minute: GOOAAL! 3-2 to Werder! Yuya Osako! Werder score their third goal of the game. Friedl finds himself with time and space down the left-hand side and fires in a pin-point cross to the unmarked Osako, who volleys the ball into the net from eight yards out.
75th minute: FCA are raising the pressure. Once again, Bremen lose an aerial duel in a dangerous area, however, newly-substituted Finnbogason can only direct his header over the bar.
82nd minute: Augsburg hit the woodwork! They aren’t quite beaten yet. A lucky escape for Werder as Niederlechner’s left-footed strike smacks against the post.
85th minute: ...and breathe. Pavlenka spills Max’s deflected free-kick, but The Green-Whites manage to scramble the rebound away from danger.
Match summary: Werder had a lot to make up for, and Kohfeldt’s side achieved that today. Their attack proved to be too strong for Augsburg, with their quick link-up play. The roaring sense of euphoria following Osako’s opener was short-lived, as Augsburg managed to quickly equalise. However, Werder weren’t fazed by this, and continued to create numerous chances – with Joshua Sargent taking one magnificently. But, rather than building on this, the 10 men of Augsburg managed to equalise once more through Vargas, not even a minute after the start of the second half. Once again, Werder had to pick themselves up and try to hit back with another goal of their own: The outstanding Yuya Osako finally decided the match, despite a further few shaky moments before the final whistle.
