Next chance for Bayern! First Coman easily beats Pieper on the left and later serves Mazraoui in the backcourt. He aims at the left half of the goal, but has to watch as the ball only touches the outer post!

20:51
Yellow card for Marvin Ducksch (Werder Bremen)
Ducksch was completely confused about this warning, but the striker kept the ball clear and fouled Upamecano.
19.
20:51
Musiala has too much space! Without opponent pressure, the young star can march through midfield before he pulls powerfully flat from 20 meters. The leather rushes just centimeters past the left post!
18.
20:50
A really balanced game can be seen on the lawn of the Weser Stadium. Of course, FCB claims more possession of the ball. Nevertheless, Bremen does not have to hide.
15.
20:48
The hosts appear on the right until the cross is intercepted by Ulreich. Bayern want to counter again, but Werder runs out of Sané’s through ball.
14.
20:46
Good idea from Kane, who seems perfectly integrated into the Bayern game up to this point. His pass still rolls past the teammate into Pavlenka’s hands.
13.
20:45
For the first time, FCB is firmly in front. A Coman cross is cleared with a header by Miloš Veljković.
11.
20:43
Almost 25 meters from the goal, Kane and Kimmich prepare the ball for a free kick. Kimmich taps briefly before Kane pulls off the full instep, but gets stuck on a green-white leg.
10.
20:42
Although the goal doesn’t count, Bremen can take a positive feeling out of the action. Bavaria is not invulnerable.

20:41
On the left, Ducksch gets a free kick against Upamecano with great effort. The striker lifts the free kick high to the five, where Füllkrug puts the ball into the goal at the near post, but the flag goes up on the sidelines. The filling jug had started a moment too early! The VAR confirms the decision.

20:40
The full dominance of the series champion is yet to be seen. In this respect, the leadership is somewhat surprising. At the same time, Bremen is still looking for a way into this game.
6.
20:38
The Munich defend the due free kick with a head on their own sixteen.
5.
20:37
Shortly after the restart, Davies gets a few words from Felix Zweyer because this wise man has cleared the game.

20:35
Tooor for Bayern Munich, 0:1 by Leroy Sané
Bayern are already leading! Bremen advances for the first time and Munich counterattacks immediately. This time the one-two succeeds with Kane, which means that Sané has a completely free path just behind the center line. He controls the ball with a lot of feeling before he safely inserts it in the bottom left!
3.
20:35
The first attack of the record champion runs on the left. Coman plays Kane, who immediately wants to smack him into the penalty area, but the ball jumps out of bounds.
2.
20:34
In the first few seconds, Bremen pushes high and disrupts the game structure of the guests.

20:33
The Bundesliga is starting the 2023/2024 season with a decent delay. It’s their 60th season under this flag and FC Bayern Munich want to defend their championship title with a win against Werder Bremen. Let’s go wild!

game start
20:30
The national anthem is still performed and accompanied by a few whistles. Certainly not the most glorious appearance before a Bundesliga game. This is followed by an honorary round of applause for a recently deceased honorary captain of SV Werder Bremen, Horst-Dieter Höttges.
20:27
When the sun goes down, the teams step out onto the lawn of the Weser Stadium. It will not be long!
20:21
The internationally experienced Felix Zwayer has the honor of whistling the season opener. Line judges Stefan Lupp and Marcel Pelgrim are assisting the 42-year-old real estate agent.
20:13
Bremen and Bayern last opened the Bundesliga season seven years ago. Under the newcomer Carlo Ancelotti, FCB scored an easy 6-0. It was a little tighter last season, as Bremen were able to keep the zero until the 62nd minute. Then Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sané provided a double strike, for which Niklas Schmidt came a little too late to equalise.
20:05
Thomas Tuchel even rotates to five positions. Neither Matthijs de Ligt, Benjamin Pavard nor Konrad Laimer could convince defensively and get the receipt today. They are replaced by Min-jae Kim, Noussair Mazraoui and Leon Goretzka. In addition, the ailing Serge Gnabry is replaced by Kingsley Coman and Mathys Tel has to give way to the new starlet Harry Kane in the top striker.
19:57
Ole Werner changes to three positions after the cup defeat. Niklas Stark was released for this game for personal reasons. Romano Schmid and Oliver Burke are only sitting on the bench for the time being. Mitchell Weiser and Marco Friedl will be there, as well as newcomer Senny Lynen, who will be able to start right from the start in his first assignment.
19:48
Bayern also lost last weekend. The series champion went swimming against RB Leipzig with 0: 3 and now has to activate the crisis mode again. Around the club, coaches, goalkeepers, double sixes and of course the storm are discussed. The latter should have calmed down since superstar Harry Kane was signed, but it was only last year that we saw how Sadio Mané broke under such pressure. So is a tailor-made start successful today?
19:39
All eyes are on Bayern and the transfer of Harry Kane. Werder Bremen should be fine with that, because it meant that their own elimination in the DFB Cup against Viktoria Köln was less of a focus. Despite two leads, the early red card against Amos Pieper weighed too heavily in the end. Donny Bogićević scored in the 94th minute, meaning that the Hanseatic city have been eliminated before the third round in each of the last three years. At the same time, this statistic could fuel some hope, because the past seasons have been quite successful after the elimination.
Hello and welcome to the opening game of the 2023/2024 Bundesliga season! The German champions FC Bayern Munich is a guest at Werder Bremen. The match kicks off at 8:30 p.m.!
