Full-time: Werder 1-1 Darmstadt

Ole Werner's hosts were forced to settle for a point against basement boys Darmstadt, who battled hard for their share of the spoils at the Weserstadion. A Christoph Zimmermann own goal gave the Green-Whites the perfect start but Julian Justvan's deflected shot brought parity before the break. Darmstadt were then denied a winner when Tim Skarke twice had goals ruled out before the end.

Almost Darmstadt

Unbelievable! The visitors had the ball in the net after Michael Zetterer's gift to Skarke, who chased down a long ball and then bundled home. Yet Skarke was adjudged to have handled and the goal will not stand.

Darmstadt denied

Skarke tapped into the empty Werder net before wheeling away with his arms raised. However, just as the dust settled on Darmstadt's celebrations, a check on the goal revealed the visiting forward was an inch offside. It remains 1-1.

Half-time: Werder 1-1 Darmstadt

The visitors suffered a nightmare start here, going behind inside the opening ten minutes when Christoph Zimmermann put through his own net to gift Werder the lead. Yet Torsten Lieberknecht's stuck to their task and they deservedly go in level at the break thanks to Julian Justvan's deflected strike.

Visitors level

The Bundesliga's basement side are on terms at the Weserstadion and it's Julian Justvan with the all-important goal, his long-range effort taking the slightest of deflections as it goes under Michael Zetterer. Stunned silence greets the goal.

Disaster for Darmstadt

Romano Schmid's super centre from the right is aimed at Justin Njinmah but Christoph Zimmermann slides in and does the Werder attacker's job for him, sending the ball past Marcel Schuhen in the Darmstadt goal.

Werner's view on Darmstadt

"Darmstadt are a very tricky team to play against. They adapt well to situations and find good solutions to problems. However, we want to stay organised throughout, and ultimately come away with all three points."

Lieberknecht's view on Bremen

"Bremen’s win over Bayern gave them real confidence. And they’ve backed that up in their other games. They have a clear game plan, they like to get men forward, but there are things we feel we can take advantage of."

The Darmstadt slide

Since Darmstadt beat Werder on Matchday 6, they have won just once. That victory came on Matchday 7, meaning they are now 15 top-flight games without a win and rooted to the bottom of the table as a result.
