End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL TIME! Werder Bremen extend their unbeaten run since the resumption of the Bundesliga to three games to move closer to safety, heaping more pressure on Schalke boss David Wagner, who has now lost four games on the bounce.
90'+3
Yellow cards! Frustration is boiling over for Schalke as Kabak gets drawn into some afters with Selke. The referee diffuses the situation with a yellow card for both players.

There will be FOUR minutes of added time to play. Time is running out for Schalke, who are staring at their fourth straight defeat.
88'
Osaka once again lacks composure as he is released by Eggestein and with just the goalkeeper to beat he tries to square it for Klaassen but Oczipka nips in to clear.
87'
A lovely ball is scooped over the top as Bremen hit the hosts on the counter, but Osaka's first touch gets away from him and a wonderful chance for the visitors to bury the game is gone.
86'
Into the last five minutes and Wagner looks increasingly desperate as he signals his players to go direct. Kenny wins a corner but Bremen stand firm. Is there any way through for Schalke?
83'
Yellow card! Boujellab is booked, the fourth Schalke player to be shown a yellow card this afternoon.

Burgstaller goes to ground on the right side just outside the penalty area - but the throw-in goes Bremen's way, as the visitors buy some breathing space.
80'
Schalke sub: A change in approach from the hosts now as target-man Guido Burgstaller replaces Miranda for the last 10 minutes. Route-one football here we come.

78'
Panic in the Schalke penalty area as Klaassen's lofted cross isn't dealt with and then Osaka is clattered by Sane. Have they a case for a penalty? The referee isn't interested as the Bremen player slowly gets himself to his feet.
75'
Schalke have still 15 minutes to find a badly-needed equaliser. They are on top at the moment but Bremen, who haven't conceded since the resumption of football, will be difficult to breach.
72'
Wide! Kenny, who only has one goal to his name this season, tries a spectacular first-time volley from distance. A very difficult skill, obviously, and he doesn't quite get the technique right as he shanks it wide.
71'
Bremen sub: Philipp Bargfrede is on for Sargent, who had allowed the game to pass him by in the second half.

Caligiuri's lovely knock down finds Raman but he's too hesitant to have a shot and allows the opportunity to slip away.
66'
Bremen, after a first half in which they could do nothing wrong, have turned into a bag of nerves. Klaassen now gifts possession to the hosts as mistakes continue to engulf the game.

Bremen goalkeeper Pavlenka is more assured this time as he rushes through a crowd of bodies and punches a free-kick delivery to safety.

Yellow card! Osako is now shown a yellow card after an illegal aerial challenge.

Desperate, backs to the wall defending from Bremen as Kutucu sees not one but two shots charged down inside the box, while Kenny also sees an effort blocked.
