  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Bremen
    • Hamburg
    • 90'+4 One last throw of the dice for Bremen, but the defence cuts things out. It's hard to believe that they've not scored an equaliser, but that's a terrific result for Hamburg which puts them clear favourites to make the final now.
    • 90'+2 Pizarro yet again gets into the six-yard box, but yet again can't beat Rost... and here are Hamburg on the counter, but Trochowski fouls Diego. One more push for the hosts now...
    • 90'+1 Hamburg bring on Torun for Ivica Olic, who has been his side's talisman.
    • 90' Four extra minutes to play...
    • 89' More Bremen pressure... a free kick from the right comes in... but it's cleared out!
    • 87' Naldo booms in a brilliant long range shot - but superb save from Rost! How have Bremen not scored tonight!?!
    • 86' Bremen's corner comes in and Prodl gets his head on it and finds the target, but Rost is well placed.
    • 85' Bremen's Fritz comes off for Prodl - odd choice, he's been superb...
    • 84' Hamburg hit on the break, and Guerrero is flying through on the keeper... it's a foot race... and the keeper gets there first!
    • 83' A goalmouth scramble for Bremen, but still they can't score despite seemingly being gifted the goal by Hamburg!
    • 81' Hamburg have given up trying to play and are just hanging on now...
    • 79' Bremen still pushing, Fritz looking lively even deep in the game now...
    • 77' Another good chance for Bremen but Pizarro blasts over yet again - Bremen's shooting has been woeful these last few minutes!
    • 76' Bremen corner after Silva is replaced by Boateng, but it's well cleared.
    • 75' Diego's deflected shot flies just wide to the left - the keeper was marooned, that would have been in!
    • 74' Long range effort by Hamburg, moving up on the break.
    • 73' Bremen push up again and again looking for that vital equaliser which will give them hope next week, but their shooting accuracy has been woeful in this half.
    • 71' Great chance for Roseberg, but the replacement blazes over from just behind the penalty spot! Where was the defence? And where was his accuracy?!?!
    • 70' Tziolis is bowled over by Demel in the box, but he got just enough of the ball. No penalty!
    • 69' Trochowski runs up to take from 28 yards... but if deflects off the wall and well over.
    • 68' Hamburg win another free kick, but the decision is dubious with Diego seemingly penalised for not falling over in a 50/50 challenge.
    • 67' Foul by Naldo on Olic, and a dangerous free kick for Hamburg. Olic is on fire!
    • 66' The match has gone bonkers! Olic crosses for Guerrero, but the flicked shot goes wide across goal under pressure!
    • 66' Pizarro gets the shot away as the counter closes in, but he drills it well wide!
    • 65' Great chance for Olic - but NO! The Hamburg winner comes up the left, cuts inside and is clean through but Wiese blocks him off well... and up the other end Bremen counter!
    • 63' Guerrero makes a ridiculous challenge from behind on Diego - ludicrous, there was no threat at all - and earns a booking which means he'll miss next week's return leg.
    • 61' Nice long ball by Diego up to Almeida, but though the striker gets on to it he can't quite find the target... and now he comes off! Markus Rosenberg replaces him.
    • 60' Lovely long shot by Boenisch that drifts just wide - and now Thomas Schaaf is after all preparing the subs.
    • 59' It feels like we're overdue changes considering the scoreline for the home side, but Bremen are gelling well at the moment so perhaps it'll be a while yet.
    • 58' It's all Bremen just now as Hamburg's players just seem to have lost a bit of spring in their step.
    • 56' Bremen push forward once again up the right, but again Pizarro mistimes his run and is caught offside.
    • 54' Nasty tackle by Olic there - there have been a few big challenges going in, there's definitely a bit of needle between these two sides.
    • 52' The corner comes in and the ball gets played up, but Pizarro wanders off-side...
    • 51' Bremen win a corner as Rost runs off the pitch with ball in his hand...
    • 50' BRILLIANT CHANCE FOR BREMEN! Fritz crosses from the right and finds Almeida, who heads on target and with power only to see Rost pull off an excellent take.
    • 49' Bremen have just edged possession in this match to this point, but it's Hamburg who've had more chances on goal - they lead the shot count 9-7.
    • 48' Great effort by Aogo from the left corner of the box, hitting a right-foot shot that just ducks the wrong side of the post!
    • 47' The pitch is totally covered in smoke at the moment as a flare in the crowd ha gone a bit bananas. It's like they're playing in thick fog - bizarre!
    • 46' We're back in play at the Weserstadion in Bremen.
    • 45'+1 End of the first half, and Hamburg look well in control at this stage thanks to that goal from Trochowski.
    • 45'+1 One extra minute to play...
    • 45' Corner for Bremen taken by Diego, and Pizarro gets to it - but he misses the target...
    • 44' Half-chance for Bremen as a cross comers in from Tziolis on the right, but Frings heads well wide.
    • 42' Lovely chance for Guerrero, who comes through on goal and is 10 yards out... but it's a brilliant save from Wiese!
    • 40' It's another yellow now - Bremen's midfielder Tziolis this time, and that means that 11 of the 22 players on the pitch just now are one booking away from missing a game.
    • 38' Bremen manager Thomas Schaaf is looking nervously at the match now - and well he might, as Hamburg put together exactly the sort of worryingly good-looking counter that could see them bury their hosts tonight.
    • 37' Diego's loooping cross is hit too hard from the right of the box; well taken by Rost.
    • 36' Bremen are working hard to get back in to this match at the moment; yet with Hamburg looking comfortable in defence and dangerous on the counter-attack, throwing the kitchen sink at the visitors is a risky strategy.
    • 34' Yellow card for Alex Silva after not his first crazy sliding tackle of the evening. Old Webby ain't impressed with that one.
    • 33' Frings runs into the box like a mad axeman as he tries to get onto the end of a cross, but for all his enthusiasm is too slow to make it.
    • 31' It's a well deserved lead for Hamburg, and it just feels as if Bremen's heads have gone down a little now.
    • 29' That was horrible defending: Trochowski is only 5'6" so shouldn't be a threat in the air, but Bremen's defence gave him a Canadian prairie worth of open space there.
    • 28' GOAL FOR HAMBURG!!!! Superb header by Trochowski, who is totally unmarked on the far left of the six-yard box as he gets on to the cross from Demel, and heads back into the far corner of the net.
    • 26' Lovely run by Ozil up the right for Bremen - and he's brought down badly! A bad foul by Dennis Aogo! It's a yellow!
    • 25' Guerrero gets into a bit of a fight down at the corner flag, and is penalised for backing into Boenisch.
    • 24' Free kick for Hamburg just inside their own half, but Bremen are picking up their tempo and getting better and cutting the ball out.
    • 22' GREAT SHOT BY GUERRERO - AND AN EVEN BETTER SAVE! The Peruvian striker fires a lovely shot along the deck from the edge of the box, but Bremen gloveman Wiese dives brilliantly to his left to palm the ball around the post.
    • 21' Nice move for Hamburg, and Guerrero could get on this...
    • 20' Naldo comes through the centre now, trying to slow the game a little to get a clearer chance on goal.
    • 19' Olic makes a big run up the right, but is bundled off the ball by Naldo. Yet rather than whinge and ask for a free kick, the puppy dog-esque Hamburg striker jumps up with a big grin on his face!
    • 17' Another nice move from Bremen, Frings putting in a zipping cross for Pizarro - but the Italian striker is a couple of feet away from getting to it.
    • 16' Long ball from Diego goes straight over the top - this time Almeida is chasing, but he can't quite get to it! He was on-side too - good chance for Bremen.
    • 15' Nice run up the right by Tziolis, but the Bremen midfielder's cross if cut out.
    • 14' Loose cross in by Hamburg's Demel wastes a nice move on the right.
    • 13' Long throw in for Hamburg, but it comes to nothing as Bremen's well-organised defence cuts out the danger.
    • 11' Slightly cynical chop by Torsten Frings on a Hamburg man gives the visitors a free kick to build something from.
    • 9' Bremen's David Diego chips a ball in long into the box, but Hugo Almeida has slipped over and can't chase it.
    • 8' Olic wins a throw, but it's well defended by the home side.
    • 7' Hamburg push up well on the right wing through Guerrero and Olic, looking for gaps to make chance...
    • 6' The referee tonight is England's Howard Webb. At least we have one representative left in the UEFA Cup...
    • 5' No more chances, but a long shot on goal by Pitroipa flies wide.
    • 4' This breathless start is exactly what the tie needed - and it's great to see Hamburg getting stuck in despite the fact that they're in the thick of the Bundlesliga fight. No half-measures for Jol's boys...
    • 2' Straight up the other end, and Bremen's Diego has a crack - and forces a terrific save from Rost! Cracking start to the tie, both sides look well up for this...
    • 1' First minute, first chance for Hamburg! A good run through but it's cut out by the keeper!
    • - We're just 15 mintues from kick-off in this all-German UEFA Cup semi-final first leg. Can Martin Jol's Hamburg grab an away advantage?

  • Summary

    • 87' Naldo booms in a brilliant long range shot - but superb save from Rost! How have Bremen not scored tonight!?!
    • 83' A goalmouth scramble for Bremen, but still they can't score despite seemingly being gifted the goal by Hamburg!
    • 77' Another good chance for Bremen but Pizarro blasts over yet again - Bremen's shooting has been woeful these last few minutes!
