Hamburg 0-1 Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen emerged triumphant from the Nord-derby against Hamburg with a solitary second half goal from Hugo Almeida decisive.

A feisty first half ended goalless, but Werder accumulated four yellow cards as Hamburg struggled to make their slight dominance count. They were made to pay early in the second half with Werder scoring five minutes into the second half.

Markus Rosenberg won the ball on the edge of the box from Reinhardt and laid it off to strike partner Hugo Almeida. The Portuguese striker hit an unstoppable shot past Frank Rost into the right hand corner to open the scoring.
