Despite being without Clemens Fritz, Sebastian Boenisch, Per Mertesacker and Diego r Thomas Schaaf’s side stomped all over Hamburg from the start. After a Markus Rosenberg effort slammed off the post at the quarter-hour, Werder took the lead eleven minute from the break as the Swede's turned provide on the counter, crossing for Hugo Almeida to finish from close range. After the break it was Mesut Özil's turn to be provider as he set up Almeida for number two of the day a few minutes into the new half. Up by two goals Werder showed a disciplined style of play that kept HSV out of the final third and sealed the 2-0 win.
