Bayern Munich v Werder Bremen

In a highly anticipated match, Bayern stole the show in the second half. In the first half, Ribery scored off a penalty in the 31st minute. Klose was replaced with Hamit Altintop, a strong attacking midfielder who was purchased from Schalke 04. Altintop immediately made his presence felt, assiting Luca Toni in the 51st minute, exploiting a three on two breakaway as Werder tried to push forward in attack. Bayern continued to attack persistently. Following a Bremen corner, Ribery turned a fancy piece of skill, turning around Diego to spark a quick counter, ending in a nice cross from Toni to Altintop, who dispatched the ball to the far post. Andreas Ottl came on in the final ten minutes and, in the 87th minute, took a throw-in to the middle of the field and crushed the final goal into the upper-right hand corner. So far, it seems Ribery, Toni and Altintop have looked like the best strike force in Europe.
