    • FT There is the final whistle in Athens and it ends 2-2. All in all, probably a fair result. Panathinaikos dominated for large stretches of the game but Bremen looked dangerous each time their broke and took their chances well
    • 90+1 Vzil shot from the left side of the box is saved by a diving Tzorvas at the bottom left hand corner of the goal
    • 73' Salpingidis almost makes it three for Panathinaikos pinging his shot from outside the box off the crossbar!
    • 83' GOAL BREMEN! Bremen level up! Again! Hugo Almeida manages to wriggle free of his marker on the penalty spot and leaps up to head back across goal after receiving the ball from Boesnisch on the right wing
    • 68' GOAL PANATHINAIKOS! Mantzios grabs his second of the day bravely heading home a corner back across the goal from the far post, despite the boot of Gilberto flying towards him!
    • 61' Karagounis right footed shot from the shot from the left hand side of the box misses just right
    • 58' Simao is booked for unsporting behaviour
    • 49' Frings whips a cross into the box and it's a great chance for Bremen to take the lead again but Almeida's header is saved by Tzorvas in the centre of the goal
    • 46' Bremen get the second half underway ...
    • HT There's the half-time whistle in Athens. Panathinaikos have really dominated this first 45 minutes but they are having to settle for a 1-1 scoreline at the interval thanks to a great peice of poaching from the visiting team
    • 45' Goal-scorer Mantzios left-footed shot from long-range is high and wide to the right and that should just about be the last bit of action for the half
    • 36' GOAL PANATHINAIKOS! The Greek side have got things back on level terms! The cross into the box completely fools the Bremend defence as they think it will be floated as near to the goal as possible. But instead it is cut back towards the edge of the box and Mantzios is left to head home unchallenged
    • 29' GOAL BREMEN! Completely against the run of play the away team take the lead. Vzil whips in a free kick from the left wing and Mertesacker beats the offside trap. His first touch looks suspiciously like a hand-ball (albeit accidental) but there is nothing doing for Pana and the German is free to volley home from four yards out
    • 28' Bad news for Panathinaikos as Pizarro is forced to go off with an injury. Rosenberg comes on as a replacement
    • 26' Simao forces Vander into an amazing save from long-range, just tipping the ball over the bar
    • 19' Karagounis whips a cross in to the edge of the area following a corner and Mantzios lets off a shot but the ball flies over the bar
    • 10' Pana have dominated this clash in the opening 10 minutes but Salpingidis sees his dangerous shot from the left hand side of the area blocked by the Bremen defence
    • 3' Pizarro almost gets Pana off to a great start with his foot just milimetres away from connecting with a cross at the far post
    • 1' We are underway in Athens
    • - Panathinaikos are desperate for three points as they are yet to even draw a game in this season's competition, while Bremen, with two points, are two behind group leaders Anorthosis Famagusta and Internazionale.
    • - Pana have Vangelis Mantzios and Giorgos Karagounis back in contention after injury troubles, while Giannis Goumas could also feature after recovering from flu. Rodrigo Souza still has a groin problem and is expected to miss out.
    • - Bremen will be without goalkeeper Tim Wiese and striker Aaron Hunt after they were injured in training; Christian Vander will deputise between the sticks.
    • - Welcome to Panathinaikos' home clash against Werder Bremen in Champions League Group B.
