TSG Pokal hopes ended by Werder Bremen
Line-up and tactics
Julian Nagelsmann made four changes from the side that started Sunday’s game with Wolfsburg. Oliver Baumann was rested in goal, as Gregor Kobel took his place for the second time this season in the DFB Pokal. Kevin Akpoguma, meanwhile, made his first start for TSG. Defender Lukas Rupp and striker Robin Hack were the other changes for 1899.
Kevin Vogt, Benni Hübner, Steven Zuber, Florian Grillitsch, Kerem Demirbay, Mark Ith and Andrej Kramaric formed the rest of the side which started in 3-5-2 formation. Hübner, Vogt and Akpoguma started at the back, with Zuber and Rupp forming the left and right wing-backs respectively. Grillitisch and Demirbay started in the centre, with Kramaric, Uth and Hack up front.
Nagelsmann waited until the start of the second half to change things up, as Pavel Kaderabeck came on Robin Hack, with Nico Schulz replacing Steven Zuber later on before Philipp Ochs came on for Lukas Rupp in the final change.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH: 52ND MINUTE
It would have been the deserved equaliser, but Andrej Kramaric is so unlucky to see his perfect strike bounce back of the bar.
NUMBER OF THE DAY: 200
It may have been a Wednesday in the North of the country, but that did not stop 200 TSG fans making the 550 km journey to Bremen to back the boys. Thank you for your support!
