M. Pantović enters the game and replaces A. Vidal.
Lewandowski finds himself through on goal without a defender in sight but he was slightly in front of Lahm when the pass was made to him and thus was judged offside.
90'
Free-kick for Bremen around 45 yards out after Alonso fouls Ujah means the home side can get a ball into the box, but it falls to the feet of Lukimya and the centre-back isn't the most accomplished player up front so gets tackled and it's cleared.
88'
Dying minutes of the game and some fans are starting to leave, but the match still seems open enough to have another goal. Bremen now launching men forward and have to be a bit careful here.
86'
Fantastic footwork from Muller almost crafts a chance for Lewandowski to close the game, but his pass towards the Polish striker is intercepted and the scoreline remains 1-0!
84'
Bremen now pushing more men forward in an attempt to grab a late equaliser and it's really lifting their support. Bargfrede has an effort from range after a long throw is cleared to his feet, but his effort is blocked.
82'
J. Kimmich gets yellow.
81'
A Bremen overload which could have ended in a good opportunity is wasted after Ujah controls the ball badly and fouls his man in an attempt to make amends for his poor touch and loss of possession.
80'
P. Bargfrede gets yellow.
79'
Claudio Pizarro, a man who is adored by both sets of supporters after making over 200 league appearances for Bayern and is now in his third stint at Bremen, enters the pitch to a resounding round of applause.
78'
C. Pizarro enters the game and replaces C. Fritz.
J. Kimmich enters the game and replaces Rafinha.
Minute
Description
77'
STAT - Bremen have lost nine consecutive games to Bayern Munich and it's their longest winless streak against any Bundesliga club.
75'
Ujah with another good chance to level the scoring for Bremen. A neat backheel from Oztunali allows the striker to burst through the channel but his effort is dragged horrendously wide. Wasted.
73'
Bremen appear to have a bit more life off the ball now, but the problem is their lack of creativity on it. As long as they keep the score at one, a bit of luck may come their way but it's not looking too promising.
71'
Lewandowski goes to ground clutching his hamstring after a clash with Wiedwald. The goalkeeper spreaded himself to prevent an effort from the striker but his studs clipped the Polish striker.
69'
Neuer finally called into action by Ujah and it's lifted the Bremen crowd! A floated ball across the pitch by Garcia presents the striker with a fantastic opportunity to level the scoring but he scuffs his effort and the Bayern goalkeeper pushes it behind for a corner.
67'
Bremen find themselves in the Bayern half for possibly the longest spell they have done this half, but it's no longer than two minutes. A deep free-kick is floated into the box but it's cleared fairly easily by the Bavarians.
64'
Another goal appears to be on the horizon for Bayern as they look to sew this game up. A floated ball over the top almost leaves Lewandowski with a golden chance but an inteception as he was bringing the ball down brought the attack to a halt.
62'
A combination of both Lewandowski and Vidal almost bundle their way through the Bremen defence after some neat passing, but Lukimya can just stretch to poke the ball away from the South American and award Bayern a corner.
60'
S. García gets yellow.
Skrypnyk identifies changes have to made and he does just that, 20-year-old Lorenzen makes way for Oztunali as Bremen attempts to salvage something.
59'
L. Öztunalı enters the game and replaces M. Lorenzen.
58'
Rafinha moves up the right flank to cross the ball from a deep position towards the head of Muller, but his ball is slightly behind the German which leaves him with too much work to do as his effort trickles out for a goal kick.
56'
A tactical change must be made by Skrypnyk in the near future if Bremen want anything from this game. Whilst they're only one goal down, the time they've spent in the Bayern half is at a premium.
54'
Bayern getting a lot of joy down the wings in the openning stages of this half as Lewandowski has a free header this time, but his effort is straight into the hands of Wiedwald
52'
Muller has a great chance to double both his and Bayern's goal tally for the afternoon as Bernat whips a devilish cross into the box. However, the German international was always streching for the ball and can only turn it close of the goalmouth.
50'
Cross from Thiago down the left side is aimed deep as he targets Lewandowski, but the Spaniard's cross doesn't carry enough weight and Wiedwald is able to gather it.
48'
Second half starting largely how the first ended. Bayern in control of the game early on with Bremen wasting possession within a minute or so of gaining it.
46'
Bremen get the second half underway!
45' +1
Just the one minute of added time at the end of the first half at the Weserstadion. Bremen have stood fairly resilient for most of the 45 minutes, but have been punished for sleeping on one of two occasions.
44'
A ball from Ujah to the overlapping Garcia forces Rafinha to make a foul on the very edge of the Bayern box and leave a great opportunity for Junuzovic to strike a set-piece. However, despite being known for being a bit of a specialist, the Austrian can only hit the wall with his effort.
42'
Rafinha gets yellow.
Header from Lewandowski after a corner is whipped in to the Bremen box keeps Wiedwald on his toes as the striker seeks to continue his fantastic scoring form, but it's merely catching practice for the goalkeeper.
40'
Although, it must be said that for Bayern's control of possession their chance creation hasn't been spectacular. Aside from the goal, it's only been Lewandowski's chance prior to that which would have worried Wiedwald in the Bremen goal.
37'
Despite the Bayern dominance of possession, it's not stopped the Bremen supporters being in fine voice all afternoon. If Skrypnyk's men can give the home side's fans something to cheer about, it's difficult to think what the Weserstadion may sound like.
35'
A lot of needless fouls being given away in midfield by Bremen, and the stop-start nature of the game certaintly isn't helping them. It's just more time for the home side without the ball and it's proving mentality draining.
33'
Neuer aside, the Bayern side is almost permanently parked in the Bremen half. Boateng and Alaba both are pushing up from centre-back to help launch attacks and allow Alonso and Lahm to play much higher up.
31'
A deep free-kick from Bremen presents a momentary opportunity for them to pump a ball into the Bayern box. However, just like all their attacks this afternoon, it proved futile.
29'
Seems as if Bremen are resulting to a 4-5-1 when off the ball now to try and counter Bayern's midfield dominance so far. It's forcing the away side to use the pitch much more, but they're happily obliging.
27'
Frustration getting the better of Fritzs already as he dives into a challenge on Xabi Alonso and is rather fortunate to escape without a booking. Bayern in control now.
25'
A momentary lapse in concentration is all it takes to get punished against Bayern. That's Muller's ninth goal of the season, which takes his tally to two higher than Bremen's collectively!
23'
T. Müller has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by Thiago Alcântara.
GOAL! Muller goes from chance creator to goal scorer. A wonderful pass from Thiago finds the German has as he ghosts through the Bremen defence and taps the ball past Wiedwald for the openning goal.
22'
Real chance for Lewandowski to get his 13th goal of the season. A deep cross from Muller finds Bayern's top goalscorer unmarked at the back post but his header can only go into the side netting.
21'
Neat footwork from Thiago down the left side of the pitch almost crafts a chance for Bayern has he attempts a one-two with Lewandowski. Unfortunately, the striker's pass wasn't weighted correctly and lead to an interception.
19'
Bremen not looking very conservative when in possession of the ball, which may come back to haunt them today as it's precious against Bayern Munich. Both Ujah and Lorenzen very direct when they get fed by the midfield.
17'
STAT - Bayern Munich have scored 13 goals in their last two visits to Bremen, averaging more than six a game!
15'
Thiago is at the heart of the midfield for Bayern as he constantly drops into holes and finds space to dictate play for the Bavarians when they're in possession. The Spaniard is proving problematic for the home side thus far.
13'
Lorenzen has the first chance of the game as Bremen break following a Bayern attack. Ujah places a ball wonderfully at the feet of his fellow striker, but the 20-year-old is only able to strike down the throat of Neuer from outside the box.
11'
A dangerous free-kick for Bremen as Junuzovic takes the responsibility to whip the ball into the visitors' box, but unfortunately for the home side his cross is too heavy and floats over the head of all his teammates.
9'
Wiedwald is almost caught in possession in his own box as Lewandowski presses high to chase down the Bremen goalkeeper, fortunately for the home side he's able to prod the ball to Bargfrede's feet before the Polish striker can tackle him.
7'
Vidal gets behind the Bremen back line thanks to a long, floated ball from Boateng, but just as he pulls the trigger to shoot the referee's whistle is blown as he's judged to be offside.
5'
A poor pass in midfield presents Bremen with the ball for a short while, but the home side panicked in possession and tried to force a pass through Santiago Garcia which ultimately ended up with Bayern back in control.
3'
Bayern control the ball in the early minutes of the game and due to swift passing around the Bremen box Vidal is able to win a free-kick in a dangerous position for the away side.
1'
It's Bayern Munich to get us underway!
Hello and welcome to the live text commentary for the Bundesliga clash of Werder Bremen versus Bayern Munich. I'm Lucas Swain, and I'll be guiding you through all the action as it happens at the Weserstadion.
CONFIRMED TEAM NEWS
Viktor Skrypnyk will be hoping his side can somehow break Bayern's 100 percent start to the season and in turn rectify their four match winless streak - the club's worst run for three years! By doing so, the Ukrainian manager has handed Melvyn Lorenzen his first start this season.
Meanwhile, Bayern seek to extend the record they broke last weekend by landing a ninth consecutive win at the start of the Bundesliga campaign. After dispatching of Dortmund comfortably last time out, it's difficult to see where the Bavarians are going to struggle as they travel north to Bremen.
Kick-off is just five minutes away in Bremen! The fans are flocking to their seats and the players are lining up in the tunnel. Can Bayern continue this amazing start to the season? We're about to find out.
Guardiola will certaintly be happy with how his side have commanded this game, but may want more than a one goal lead. Possibilty the introduction of Costa in the second half to breed more creativity?
Full time in Bremen and Bayern Munich are triumphant by one goal. The Bavarians are the deserved winners of this game, but Ujah will be gutted he didn't do better with the two chances that came his way.
That's all from the Weserstadion. Thanks for joining me, Lucas Swain, for the Bundesliga clash between Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich. Until next time, goodbye!
