    Time:90'
    • Anorthosis Famagusta
    • Bremen
    • FT That's the final whistle and Bremen have just kept their hopes alive with the draw. They remain two points adrift at the bottom of the table but they will have one final chance in two weeks time to scrap through
    • 90'+2 Diego has his shot from outside the area but his shot was blocked and that must pretty much be it!
    • 90'+1 Mertesacker receives the ball from Boesnich ... but his shot from the centre of the box drifts wide of the left post
    • 90' We are into injury time now as both sides look desperately for a winner!
    • 88' GOAL BREMEN! The German side draw level as Boesnich fires home from the centre of the box after a header on from Rosenberg
    • 85' Frousos has a chance to make the game safe for Famagusta but his shot from the right side of the box is too high and wide to the right
    • 80' Hugo Almeida left footed shot from outside the box is blocked ... again!
    • 77' Pizarro finds Diego just outside the box but the Brazilian shot is too high
    • 72' GOAL BREMEN! Diego with an emphatic penalty which he slams home just to the right of the centre and midway up the net!
    • 70' PENALTY BREMEN! Goalscorer Nikolaou brings down Aaron Hunt in the penalty area and Bremen have a golden opportunity to get back in this match now
    • 68' GOAL FAMAGUSTA! 2-0! Savio fires home unchallenged from left of the goal after Vander has parried Frousos' shot from the right straight into his path
    • 66' Pizarro comes close to levelling up for Bremen from the centre of the box but somehow he misses again!
    • 62' GOAL FAMAGUSTA! Substitute Nikolaou recieves the ball at the far post from Savio's corner and he fires the ball into the back of the net, straight past some very ineffectual goalkeeping from Vander. He sort of swung his arms around a bit but made little attempt to get down to the ground and block the shot!
    • 61' Almeida heads a Fritz cross just wide and that's a shocking miss. How are Bremen not in the lead in this match?
    • 56' Another substitution for Famagusta as Nikolaos Frousos comes on to replace Predrag Ocokoljic.
    • 55' Savio wins a free kick in his attacking half but its too far away from goal to try anything fancy
    • 50' Another scrappy start to the half for Famagusta and Bremen - much like the start of the match
    • 46' Just the one half time substitution as Nikos Nikolaou replaces Giannis Skopelitis for Famagusta
    • 46' Bremen get the clash back underway ...
    • 45' There's the half time whistle and it's been a breathless 45 minutes that have seen Bremen comfortably on top
    • 43' Ocokoljic from distance again but his right footed shot is too high and wide to cause Vander any real concern
    • 42' Fritz finds the head of Almeida in the centre of the area but the chance is saved by Vander
    • 40' Famagusta nearly make Bremen pay for what has been one of their only decent chances of this first half as Katsavakis clearly beats Vander to a Savio free kick. But Vander puts enough pressure on the Famagusta man to force him to head over
    • 37' Another long-range shot from Bremen as Naldo thumps the ball more than 35 yards towards the goal. Again though it is just off target and the German's are made to wait
    • 34' Frings again causing problems from outisde the area as he smacks a Tosic pass goalward. Famagusta have enough bodies in the way and the ball rebounds to safety
    • 31' Almeida finds Diego, who again goes for goal from just outside the area but he pulls his shot wide. When Bremen do score, and it is a case of when rather than if, it should be a stunner at this rate!
    • 30' Bremen are enjoying another purple patch as they continue to batter Famagusta at the back. Baumann this time receives the ball from Ozil before sending his shot from 30 yards just over the bar
    • 28' Almeida with an absolute bullet of a shot from 35 yards out draws an outstanding, fingertip save from Nagy just below the cross bar in the centre of the goal
    • 22' Ocokoljic tries his luck from just outside the area but he fires the ball straight at Vander and that was never going anywhere but into the keepers hands
    • 18' Diego receives the first yellow card of the night for a poor challenge on Savio
    • 14' Bremen are causing a lot of problems now as Frings unleashes a bullet from just outside the are with his left foot. The ball took a little deflection on the way though and left Nagy scrambling across the front of goal desperately trying to cover his bottom left corner
    • 13' Diego decides to try his luck from more than 35 yards out after he receives the ball from Ozil but his shot cannons off a Famagusta leg on the way through
    • 9' Pizarro wins a free kick in the attacking half but it's pretty far out and Werder can do nothing with it
    • 5' The early stages of this clash are pretty scrappy and neither team has really made any inroads towards their goals?
    • 1' Famagusta get the clash underway at the Antonis Papadopoulos stadium
    • 19:32 The players are now out on the pitch and are going through their warm up so we should be on schedule to get underway at 19:45 UK time
