Naldo will take this free-kick then, from 30 yards... right down the throat of Pyatov BUT OH NO A TERRIBLE MISTAKE FROM THE KEEPER TO FUMBLE IT INTO HIS OWN NET!

Ilsinho on the left edge of the box, he cuts inside from the corner of the D, knocks it back to Jadson who slides a wonderful through-ball to Adriano who must score but he puts it wide with only the keeper to beat! Bad, bad miss after some tidy play between the three Brazilians but where on earth were Bremen's defence? They were anything but level and showed the marking ability of a GSCE examination board employee.
