    Time:90'
    • Bremen
    • Panathinaikos
    • FT And there is the final whistle - a fine win for the Greeks against the woeful Germans.
    • 88' Bremen barely trying now - they seem to have resigned themselves to defeat.
    • 83' IT IS THREE!! Who would have thought it? Naldo plays Pana onside on a counter attack move - the ball then eventually drops to Alexandros Tziolis outside the box and his low drive looks to have taken a deflection before going in.
    • 80' Pana are seeing this match off without any scares it would seem - they have made a few changes now too to help run down the clock. Inter now level in Cyprus so the second place in the group is really up for grabs.
    • 74' Whistles from the home fans now as another "attack" breaks down.
    • 70' WHAT A GOAL FOR PANA!!! Giorgios Karagounis has scored one of the best goals you will see in the Champions League this season. The ball reached him from a throw-in he let it bounce over his shoulder and then half-volleyed a belter into the top corner.
    • 65' Bremen do make a change - on comes Aaron Hunt for Jarica Vranies.
    • 62' Bremen just can't get anything going here at the moment - it might be time for a substitution.
    • 58' PANA HAVE THE LEAD!! Alexandros Tzilis slips a ball in behind the defence and Vangelis Mantzios does a quick turn and low finish for his third goal in two Champions League matches.
    • 54' A ball finds Vintra at the back post and he has a great chance to put a shot on target but he makes a mess of it and it goes over the bar.
    • 50' Still waiting for a breakthrough here but the bad news for both of these sides is that Anorthosis have just gone in front against Inter which would really harm both sides' dreams of making the knockout stage.
    • 46' And we are back underway...
    • HT And there is the half-time whistle - pretty poor stuff and no goals.
    • 43' The pattern continues - Pana defending well anything that is thrown at them at the moment. The group's other match between Anorthosis and Inter is 2-2!! Click on that match to follow full LIVE comments.
    • 39' A quiet spell in the match at the moment - Bremen are on top but struggling to create chances.
    • 32' Now it is Bremen's turn to hit the woodwork - Pana make a mess of dealing with a cross - it comes to a Bremen man at the back post but he can only hit it against the post. However, the referee had called for a foul on the goalkeeper anyway.
    • 27' Galinovic makes a very good save to deny Pizarro from close range. Good cross from Diego to set it up.
    • 23' Bremen enjoying a little spell of pressure now as they look to finally get into the game.
    • 20' Gallnovic is forced to tip a header from one of his own defenders over the bar after a miscued back-header but he was always in control of the situation and nothing came of the resulting Bremen corner.
    • 17' Really good start this from Pana - Gabriel has now just tried his luck from distance but that one doesn't trouble the goal.
    • 13' Off the underside of the bar from Pana! A long free-kick is launched into the box but it goes over everybody including Tim Wiese in the Bremen goal - it hits the underside of the bar and bounces into the path of Mantzios but he can only head wide.
    • 7' Diego fires the first decent shot of the match but it goes just wide of the target.
    • 5' Bremen are favourites for this match but it is the Greeks who have started the better - still waiting for our first real chance though.
    • 1' And we are underway here in Germany.
    • - The two sides drew in Athens two weeks ago. Bremen have drawn all their games in the group so far - that point last time out was Panathinaikos's first.
    • - Welcome to Germany for this LIVE Champions League match between Bremen and Panathinaikos.
