Under way with a victory! SV Werder beat MSV Neuruppin 11-0 on Sunday in front of 2,200 spectators. Franco Di Santo and debutant Anthony Ujah hit the goalscoring groove instantly.
Viktor Skripnik named a different side in each half of the game. New keeper Felix Wiedwald wasn't involved (he trained individually and will play 90 minutes against Rostock later in the week) so Eric Oelschlägel and Tom Pachulski shared the gloves. Anthony Ujah and Ulisses Garcia made their debuts after the break.

4th Minute: Franco Di Santo has the first chance of the game but fires over the bar when well placed.
9th Minute: Close one! The hosts almost took the lead but Tom Techen hit the post. Marnon Busch was on hand to block the rebound.
16th Minute: Better! Franco Di Santo made no mistake with his second effort of the game. He lethally fired home from inside the area to make it 1-0, scoring Bremen's first goal of the season in the process!
21st Minute: Di Santo again! The MSV keeper got a hand to the Argentine's powerful effort but was unable to prevent it from hitting the back of the net.
25th Minute: Drinks! It's 36 degrees so a water break is definitely necessary.
27th Minute: And another! Di Santo makes it 3-0 and completes his hat-trick. Excellent play from Melvyn Lorenzen set up the striker, who made no mistake from inside the area.
36th Minute: One for you! Maximilian Eggestein's classy cross gets emphatically fired home by Assani Lukimya!

47th Minute: Instant impact from the new replacements - Mateo Pavlovic heads home just minutes into the second period!
51st Minute: It's 6! Anthony Ujah has only been on the field six minutes but he's already netted a debut goal! Neat play from Aycicek and Bartels gave the striker a great chance to open his account and he made no mistake.
52nd Minute: Julian von Haacke now scores. The youngster calmly slots home to make it 7-0.
64th Minute: Skripnik's men go 8-0 up. Bartels adds his name to the growing list of scorers - what an afternoon!
70th Minute: Another drinks break.
83rd Minute: Ujah at the double! The new striker makes it 9-0.
86th Minute: Double figures! Levent Aycicek gets Bremen's 10th goal of the day.
88th Minute: Anthony Ujah completes his hat-trick and the scoring in the process. The game finishes 11-0 to SV Werder Bremen!
SV Werder put in an impressive performance in their first pre-season friendly. Despite undertaking a lot of training sessions, the players looked fresh and fully deserved their emphatic win.

Viktor Skripnik: "Despite the intense sessions everyone gave it their all. I am happy with what the lads showed. Unfortunately Lukas Fröde picked up a knock. Anthony Ujah was great. He was a handful and impressed me."
Anthony Ujah: "It's been a tiring week and today was a good step. I'm delighted to have netted as it's good for my confidence. I hope things carry on line this. The most important thing is that my understanding with the other guys is getting stronger each day."
