Tim Borowski's goal in the 81st minute and forward Almeida's strike just minutes later were eventually the difference between the two sides in a game which was really marked by an outstanding performance by Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese.

Wiese was decisive in securing the points for the Bundesliga side who reached the final of the UEFA Cup last season.

Bremen started with aggressive attacks, but the guests fought back with more dangerous counterattacks.

After 17 minutes Acimovic found himself one on one with the Wiese, but the German keeper closed the angle and made things difficult for the Vienna captain. Not ten minutes later and Wiese was called into action again, this time making an even more impressive save from Sulimani's shot.
