Werder Bremen won their first North Derby on the road since May 2008 in beating Hamburg 3-1 on the 22nd game day of the Bundesliga. Marko Marin, Tom Trybull and Marko Arnautovic scored for Thomas Schaaf's Green-Whites while Mladen Petric scored for Hamburg to cut the deficit to 2-1.
Marin makes it 1-0
Schaaf made three changes to his line-up with Claudio Pizarro, Trybull and Marin starting in place of Arnautovic, Aleksandar Ignjovski and Mehmet Ekici. The 55,000 spectators saw an exciting and hard-fought game from the beginning. And Bremen jumped ahead 1-0 after just nine minutes as Markus Rosenberg fed a nice pass to Marin, who beat Hamburg keeper Jaroslav Drobny from seven yards out.

Trybull doubles lead
Paolo Guerrero nearly equalised at the other end just two minutes later but Werder keeper Tim Wiese made a great save. Hamburg continued their push forward but could not solve the Green-Whites defence. And the youngster Trybull doubled the lead 2-0, heading in Zlatko Junuzovic's corner in the 45th minute. And Bremen led 2-0 at the break.
Petric cuts to 2-1
The second half began spectacularly as Wiese made an incredible save on Petric's shot from 10 yards in the 47th minute. Rosenberg at the other end missed a chance to make it 3-0, standing alone in front of the Hamburg goal. Petric halved the deficit in the 75th minute on a deflected free kick to make it 2-1. The final stages proved exciting before Arnautovic finished off all doubts in the 86th minute, running onto a long ball from Wiese and beating Drobny.
