Bremen equalized in the 47th minute. A long cross into the box, and Marko Arnautovic played it back into the center. Joseph Akpala was on hand to get a foot on it to knock it past Oliver Baumann.
Aaron Hunt put Bremen in front in the 59th minute with a hard shot that Baumann couldn’t get to. The goal was created by Kevin De Bruyne who has been on an excellent run of form to start this season for Bremen.
