UEFA Champions League - Panathinaikos v Werder Bremen

Hugo Almeida scored a late equaliser for Werder Bremen to deny Panathinaikos a first victory in UEFA Champions League Group B as this encounter in Athens ended all-square.

Werder Bremen were without influential trio goalkeeper Tim Wiese, striker Daniel Jansen and midfielder Aaron Hunt in Athens, but managed to take the lead through Germany defender Per Mertesacker on 29 minutes.

Midfielder Mesut Oezil floated in a cross from the left and Mertesacker managed to escape the attention of referee Michael Riley when the ball hit his arm before he slammed the ball into the back of the net from close range.

But the home side equalised seven minutes later when Brazilian defender Gabriel crossed the ball in and Greek striker Mantzios floated his header over Bremen's stand-in goalkeeper Christian Vander.

It finished 1-1 at the break, but the home side took the lead when Bremen's Oezil cleared the ball off the line only for Mantzios to again loop his header over Vander's reach and into the net on 68 minutes.
