90' +1

Castro is the next player into the book.
90'
CLOSE! Junuzovic is whiskers away from grabbing a dramatic equaliser. He gets his shot away early, but sees it drift wide of the target.
88'
Aubameyang threatens with a strong run into the penalty area. He just loses control of the ball at the vital moment, though, and it trickles behind for a goal-kick.
86'
M. Lorenzen enters the game and replaces S. Yatabaré.
L. Fröde enters the game and replaces A. Ujah.
The other sees Ujah replaced by Lukas Fröde.
85'
Bremen make a double change in a bid to rescue a point. Yatabaré is replaced by Melvyn Lorenzen.
84'
Ramos had been directly involved in a Bundesliga goal every 50 minutes this season coming into today's game. That is the highest average in the German top-flight and his latest exploits will not have done that figure any harm.
82'
A. Ramos has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund! Assist by H. Mkhitaryan.
Mkhitaryan provided an inviting corner that was waiting to be attacked.
WHAT AN IMPACT FROM RAMOS!!! He has barely been on the field for two minutes and the Colombian puts Dortmund back in front. Mkhitaryan's corner is begging to be attacked and Ramos obliges to deadly effect.
80'
A. Ramos enters the game and replaces M. Schmelzer.
C. Pulišić enters the game and replaces M. Reus.
Dortmund make a double substitution. The first sees Schmelzer replaced by Adrián Ramos.
The other sees Reus sacrificed in favour of Christian Pulisic.
Minute
Description
79'
The match has burst into life all of a sudden and has set up a grandstand finish in the last 10 minutes. Both sides look capable of finding the winning goal.
77'
S. Kagawa has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund! Assist by M. Schmelzer.
Schmelzer showed great awareness to pick out Kagawa.
WHAT A RESPONSE FROM DORTMUND!!! A lovely move sees Schmelzer latch onto a neat through ball before pulling it across the area, where Kagawa is on hand to sweep home. The Japanese international makes an immediate impact.
74'
S. Kagawa enters the game and replaces E. Durm.
Z. Junuzović has scored a goal for Werder Bremen! Assist by L. Öztunalı.
Dortmund make a change with Shinji Kagawa coming on in place of Durm.
Some great work from Oztunali down the right wing set up the goal.
BREMEN LEAD!!! Oztunali embarks on a strong run down the right flank and, despite being fouled by Bender, gets back to his feet as the referee plays the advantage. He then lays the ball off for Junuzović to sweep home and put the visitors in front.
73'
Dortmund suddenly have more urgency in their play as they look to edge their noses back in front. They are packed inside Bremen's half and the visitors only have Ujah forward.
71'
That was definitely not in Dortmund's script. Having appeared to be in control of the contest, they are now looking to regain the lead inside the final 20 minutes of this match.
69'
Alejandro Gálvez has scored a goal for Werder Bremen!
YES, THEY CAN!!! Dortmund fail to clear their lines and Galvez's shot takes a deflection off Castro, before nestling in the far corner.
67'
Bremen are finally starting to threaten in this second half. They force a corner following a good spell of possession. Can they make it count?
65'
L. Öztunalı enters the game and replaces S. García.
The visitors make their first change of the day. García goes off to be replaced by Levin Oztunali.
63'
Interestingly, Bremen's record of conceding in every Bundesliga match this season has continued. They are the first German side to do so in the top-flight.
61'
Dortmund continue to apply pressure on Bremen. The visitors are struggling to get out of their own half at the moment.
59'
GOOD SAVE! A crisp Dortmund attack sees Durm get in behind the defence. However, Weidwald is quickly out of goal to narrow the angle and make a good block.
57'
Dortmund have got their tails up at the moment. They are pushing forward in search of more goals in their bid to keep the pressure on Bayern Munich.
55'
It is truly devastating when Dortmund attack like that. With the quality at their disposal, Bremen cannot give them too many opportunities or this game could be over very quickly.
53'
Alejandro Gálvez gets yellow.
P. Aubameyang has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund! Assist by H. Mkhitaryan.
Mkhitaryan provided a perfectly timed through ball for Aubameyang to run onto.
DORTMUND HAVE THE BREAKTHROUGH!!! Aubameyang beats the offside trap to bear down on goal, before calmly lifting the ball over the committed Weidwald. It is 23 for the season for the Gabon striker.
Galvez was booked for a rash challenge in the build-up to the goal.
50'
S. Yatabaré gets yellow.
OUCH! Yatabaré is booked for a crunching challenge on Weigl. The Bremen man is fortunate that the card was only yellow as his studs were showing when he went for the ball.
48'
Mkhitaryan goes for the spectacular as he attempts a bicycle kick in the penalty area, but does not connect properly and the ball goes behind for a goal-kick.
46'
KICK-OFF! The referee blows his whistle and Bremen get the ball rolling once again in the second half.
45'
The eventual delivery is not the best in all fairness and Burki gathers without any difficulty. Following a brief exchange of possession, the referee blows for half-time.
43'
The visitors have a free-kick in a good position here. It is 35 yards from goal and slightly to the left. Both centre-halves are forward for this one.
41'
GOOD SAVE! Dortmund continue to build and Durm lays the ball off for Castro, whose bending effort is well beaten away by Weidwald.
39'
SIDE NETTING! Aubameyang latches onto Mkhitaryan's lofted through ball and his cross reaches an unmarked Schmelzer at the far post, but the left-back's volley goes the wrong side of the post.
37'
Dortmund try to apply pressure on Bremen as they are awarded a corner. The visitors deal with it well, though, before Durm's wild effort goes flying into the stands.
35'
The Gabon striker had been fairly quiet up until that point, but Bremen will be wary not to give him too many opportunities. He comes into this match with 22 Bundesliga goals to his name this season.
33'
Aubameyang gets his first shot of the match away. He takes a touch on the edge of the area before letting fly, but his effort is straight at Weidwald.
31'
OUCH! Fritz took an accidental whack to the face following an aerial challenge with Mkhitaryan. He looks a little shaken, but is perfectly fine to continue.
28'
Having been on the back foot for the past few minutes, Dortmund are slowly starting to regain a foothold in the contest. The hosts use the opportunity to maintain possession inside their own half and just get a feel for the ball again.
26'
The hosts have conceded just three goals in their first 10 games of 2016, but they must be careful here as Bremen are already causing them plenty of problems at the back.
24'
Tuchel's men will be wondering how, with 64 points, they are trailing by eight at the top of the Bundesliga. Eight sides have gone on to win the title with fewer points to their name after 27 games in the German top-flight.
22'
NOT FAR AWAY! Dortmund launch a dangerous counter attack with Castro feeding Durm. The latter surges into the heart of the Bremen defence, but cannot keep his shot down in the end.
20'
Bremen are holding their own inside the opening 20 minutes of this match. They are knocking the ball around nicely and will not roll over easily.
18'
The long ball over the top is providing a good outlet for the visitors. Ujah is looking sharp and his movement is causing problems for the Dortmund defence.
15'
S. García gets yellow.
García is the first player to have his name taken today. The Bremen defender picks up his eighth yellow card of the season.
13'
Mkhitaryan charges into the heart of the Bremen defence as he looks to find a way through. The visitors hold firm on this occasion, though.
11'
Ujah is looking lively up front on his own. He loses his marker as he tries to latch onto a long ball from Yabatare over the top of the Bremen defence, but just starts his run too early and is ruled offside.
9'
The visitors are showing no fear against their opponents. They are slowly growing into the game and asking questions of the Dortmund defence.
7'
CLOSE! Bremen embark on their first venture forward and they almost take the lead. Yabatare whips the ball across the face of goal and Utah is inches away from getting the vital touch.
5'
Dortmund will be keen to close the gap on leaders Bayern to five points once again. Dropping points here would leave them with a mountain to climb in their final six matches.
3'
Dortmund have quickly settled into their rhythm in the opening stages of this match. They have enjoyed almost all of the possession and their opponents have not had a look in yet.
1'
KICK-OFF! The referee blows his whistle and Dortmund get the match underway.
Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE text commentary of the German Bundesliga. We're at Signal Iduna Park today as Borussia Dortmund host Werder Bremen.
The hosts beat Augsbug 3-1 last time out, but Thomas Tuchel makes six changes from that game. One of the five players that remain in the starting line-up is Marco Reus, who committed his future to the club this week amid speculation linking him with a move away from Signal Iduna Park.
DORTMUND SUBS: Weidenfeller, Park, Leitner, Sahin, Ramos, Pulisic, Kagawa.
Bremen make four changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Mainz 05 in their last outing. Galvez comes into the defence and Sambou Yabatare takes his place in midfield, while Anthony Ujah leads the attack in the absence of the injured Claudio Pizarro.
HERE THEY COME! The teams are making their way out onto the field and kick-off is just moments away.
Following Bayern Munich's victory earlier today, Dortmund will be looking to close the gap at the top of the Bundesliga to just five points once again. On the other hand, Bremen are aiming to move away from relegation trouble.
Dortmund have won the last eight league meetings between these two sides at Signal Iduna Park. Therefore, they will certainly fancy their chances this afternoon.
While Bremen have enjoyed their fair share of possession, Dortmund have asked most of the questions going forward in the first half with 12 shots without facing any from their opponents.
The players are making their way back out onto the field and the second half is imminent.
FULL-TIME: BORUSSIA DORTMUND 3-2 WERDER BREMEN
Shinji Kagawa and Adrian Ramos climbed off the bench to rescue Borussia Dortmund. They trailed 2-1 but turned the match around, ensuring that they stayed within five points of Bayern Munich at the top of the German Bundesliga.
That's all for this evening. Thank you for following the LIVE action from the German Bundesliga - hope you've enjoyed it. Until next time, have a very good evening!
