After an underwhelming first half, the visitors were more aggressive following the interval, with substitute Karim Adeyemi making an instant impact with an effort from more than 20 yards out. But Bremen goalkeeper Michael Zetterer was in place to deny the forward. Dortmund were reduced to 10 men in the 73rd minute when Schlotterbeck received a second yellow card for sliding in on Bremen forward Justin Njinmah.
