Pushing for a winner
Heidenheim don't seem satisfied with a point here and are throwing men forward to try and get the win. Most recently, an Ibrahimović shot from the edge of the box was blocked behind for a corner, the delivery from which Niehues manages to get his head to, forcing a good save from Backhaus.

Boniface!
From the right channel, a Bremen free-kick is curled into the Heidenheim box. Boniface rises highest in the middle, guiding a good header goalwards, but Ramaj was alert and equal to the danger.

Wild attempt
The ball drops for Friedl on the edge of the Heidenheim box, but the Bremen captain's effort is well off target.
72'
Speculative
From a free-kick near the halfway line, Ibrahimović tries to catch Backhaus out, who has the sun in his eyes. However, the Bremen keeper sees it coming and makes a comfortable save.

Golden opportunity
A teasing ball comes in from the left for Heidenheim. Schimmer and Zivzivadze are in the middle, but the former's flick just takes it away from the Georgian striker, who would've had a clear shot on goal from six yards, had he managed to connect.

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Drops kindly
Heidenheim look to respond immediately. A looping Dorsch header finds Zivzivadze, who brings it down, but he can't get a shot away before Sugawara clears it behind for corner, which Heidenheim don't manage to convert into any meaningful chance.

Promising counter
Heidenheim immediately look to hit back. Schöppner releases Schimmer down the right, who has yards of space to run into before putting a cross in, which doesn't find any takers in the middle.
47'
Grüll does well
The Bremen striker goes on a mazy run through the Heidenheim defence, reaching the byline before captain Mainka puts a stop to it with a good challenge.

Back underway!
Bremen get the ball rolling again for the second half here. Neither manager has elected to make any half-time alterations.

Grüll!
A cross finds Sugawara, who heads back across goal for the Bremen foward. He's at full-stretch to try and reach it but he can't quite manage to get anything on the ball. Had he been able to get there, that would've been a huge chance to take the lead...

Hosts carved open
A teasing cross courtesy of Puertas from the right is whipped towards the far post, where Schmid and Stage are arriving. It's Schmid who gets there, steering an effort goalwards, which is blocked at the near post, before Bremen rework it to Stage, whose wild effort from outside the box is well off target.
30'
Ibrahimović from distance
The Bayern loanee finds himself in acres of space about 30 yards from goal. He elects to shoot, hitting a sweet strike which is swerving in the air. Backhaus only manages to parry it, but Bremen clear the second ball.

Risky
Siersleben tries to bring down a high ball at the back for Heidenheim. Puertas puts him under real pressure, but he just about manages to play it back to goalkeeper Ramaj, who clears.

Shot blocked
The set-piece is curled in from the left. Bremen win the initial header but only manage to half clear it as Heidenheim launch the ball back into the box. Kaufmann strikes from inside the box, but his effort is blocked.
16'
Hunting in packs
Heidenheim are pressing really high up the pitch as a team here and Bremen are really struggling to play through them at the moment. Most recently, they were awarded a free-kick for their troubles, Sugawara bringing down Dorsch.

Siersleben booked
After a late challenge on Grüll, Siersleben is awarded the first yellow card of the game. There's a stoppage whilst Grüll receives treatment, but he's back to his feet now.

Backhaus again!
This time, a low cross from Traoré is fired towards the near post. It's a really dangerous ball, but Backhaus reads it and punches it clear from his near post. The Bremen goalkeeper has been really involved in the opening stages here.
