		This is how football ought to look like. Full of action, thrilling moments and spectacular opportunities. The expectations for the next games will be high. Dominance of this game was on the home side. The home players attempted to beat the opposition's defence using mostly counter-attacks, and so did the away players. (17:22:59)
		Game over.
	90	Fourth official shows 2 min. of added time.
	88	A substitution is prepared. Christoph Moritz (Mainz) is leaving the pitch, and Bo Svensson (Mainz) is coming on as a substitute.
	88	It will be the substitution. Malik Fathi (Mainz) is ready to enter the pitch as Junior Diaz (Mainz) walks off.
	86	Johannes Geis quickly takes the free kick with a short pass.
	82	Maxim Choupo-Moting is adjudged to have been offside when making his run.
	81	Good clearance! Benedikt Saller receives a brilliant short pass and finds himself in a good position inside the box, but he's been robbed of the ball by one of the defending players.
	80	Substitution. Elkin Soto (Mainz) is replaced by Benedikt Saller (Mainz).
	78	The referee gives a time for substitution. Philipp Bargfrede (Werder Bremen) departs to be replaced by Martin Kobylanski (Werder Bremen).
	75	Deniz Aytekin pulls out a yellow card to show it to Philipp Bargfrede for a tough tackle.
	73	An accurate cross towards the area of the penalty spot finds Maxim Choupo-Moting. He wins himself enough space to produce a fine header, but it only goes narrowly over the crossbar!
	72	Eljero Elia receives a great pass inside the box and misses a golden chance. The goalkeeper pulls off a stunning save. The referee signals for a corner kick, Werder Bremen are awarded.
	70	Eljero Elia times his run too early, and the assistant referee raises his flag, offside. The opposition will take an indirect free kick.
	67	Substitution. Aaron Hunt (Werder Bremen) makes way for Ludovic Obraniak (Werder Bremen).
	67	Yunus Malli makes a good run with the ball, but his shot from the edge of the penalty area goes just wide of the left post. Terrific solo effort, though.
	65	It's a yellow card for Sebastian Prödl (Werder Bremen).
	62	Eljero Elia creates himself some space on the edge of the box and unloads a dangerous projectile, which is blocked by a defender. It will be a corner kick for Werder Bremen.
	58	Yunus Malli gathers the ball inside the box and produces a snap shot. The ball only rattles the right post.
	56	The assistant referee's flag is up because Maxim Choupo-Moting didn't find the way to beat the offside trap.
	54	Zdenek Pospech produces an inaccurate low pass into the box that is blocked by the one of the defenders. If this pass had slipped through, the ball would have probably ended inside the net. The ball is out of play, and the assistant referee points at the corner flag. Mainz will take it.
	52	A precise pass is received by Yunus Mall, who quickly sends a shot from inside the penalty area. His shot lacks accuracy and sails inches wide of the left post.
	52	The assistant referee signalises offside, and the main referee confirms his decision. Aaron Hunt is the one who got caught.
	49	Zdenek Pospech commits a foul with a sliding tackle but escaped any punishment. No yellow card. Werder Bremen will be able to take a free kick.
	47	Zlatko Junuzović delivers a promising cross into the box, but one of the defending players wins the ball and averts the threat. Werder Bremen get a corner.
	46	Start of 2nd half.
	46	The manager is making a substitution. Nils Petersen (Werder Bremen) walks off the pitch and is replaced by Theodor Gebre Selassie (Werder Bremen).
		The fans on the stadium don't have to regret buying the tickets as they have witnessed a great game so far, and nothing suggests it's going to change in the second half. The hosts enjoy superiority over the opposition. The home team makes a lot of passes and attempts to maintain possession. The away side's tactic is what is called kick and rush football.
	45+1	1st halftime finished.
	43	Sebastian Prödl reacts well near the penalty spot to connect with the resulting corner, but fails to direct his header into the back of the net. The ball floats high over the bar.
	40	Goal for Mainz! ZDENEK POSPECH (Mainz) feeds the ball through to Yunus Malli (Mainz), who picks up the pass inside the box and quickly drills it into the underside of the crossbar! The goalkeeper was helpless. 3:0!
	38	Raphael Wolf doesn't have to worry about this one. Shinji Okazaki plays a pass into the feet of Yunus Malli, with the latter unable to find the target. His effort from inside the box goes well wide of the right post.
	37	Johannes Geis receives a pass and tries his luck with a long-range powerful effort. His poorly placed shot lacks accuracy and flies way over the crossbar.
	35	Deniz Aytekin blows his whistle and it is Nils Peterse who is penalised for an offensive foul. Good decision by the referee.
	33	Junior Diaz takes a long-range free kick and whips it into the box. The goalkeeper reads it well and leaps high to intercept the ball.
	31	A precise low pass is received by Maxim Choupo-Moting, who makes a yard for himself on the edge of the box and sends a poorly placed shot that sails well over the bar.
	27	The linesman's flag has already been raised for offside when Eljero Elia headed on.
	26	Maxim Choupo-Moting sends a shot from a promising distance after a precise pass. His effort goes inches over the crossbar.
	26	An accurate pass to the edge of the box is well received by Shinji Okazaki . He quickly attempts to beat the goalkeeper with a fine effort. Unfortunately for him, the ball goes inches wide of the left post.
	24	Aaron Hunt finds himself in a promising position after receiving a precise pass. He pulls the trigger but hits only one of the opponents who got in the trajectory of his effort. Good work from Werder Bremen as they win a corner.
	16	Goal for Mainz! Goal! CHRISTOPH MORITZ(Mainz) was in the right place at the right time to get to the rebound inside the box, and he fires the ball into the right side of the goal. It is 2:0.
	14	Eljero Elia put a cross into the box which wasn't a bad decision, but he failed to achieve what he wanted as none of his teammates managed to meet it. The main referee points to the corner flag, Werder Bremen will take a corner.
	12	Eljero Elia (Werder Bremen) is cautioned and gets a yellow card for mouthing off to the referee.
	10	Elkin Soto clips a neat ball into the box in the direction of Shinji Okazaki , whose header from the centre of the box goes by a whisker wide of the left post.
	6	A neat pass is well received by Christoph Moritz , who is lurking on the edge of the box and strikes the ball directed towards the bottom left corner, but the goalkeeper makes an incredible save to block his shot.
	5	Goal for Mainz! This is really unlucky! NILS PETERSEN (Werder Bremen) attempted to clear the ball away after the opposition’s corner kick into the box, but he miskicked the clearance and placed it into his own net, specifically into the top right corner. He won't enjoy watching the highlights later.
	5	A cross which was clipped into the penalty area by Shinji Okazaki didn't pose any threat, so we'll have to wait a bit more to see an interesting situation. The main referee and one of his assistants signal for a corner kick. It will be taken by Mainz.
	2	None of the attacking players in the penalty area were able to connect with the lofted pass from Clemens Fritz . He'll need to improve his accuracy for the next time
