Werder Bremen and Stuttgart could not be separated today as they fought to a 2-2 draw in their Bundesliga match.
The hosts took the lead after 23 minutes when Nils Petersen did well to set up Kevin de Bruyne, who made no mistake with his finish.
Petersen was the architect for Bremen's second goal too, this time finding Zlatko Junuzovic who doubled his side's lead.
Stuttgart fought back in the second half, however, getting a goal back within five minutes through Martin Harnik's header.
The visitors got the equaliser with just under ten minutes left on the clock as Georg Niedermeier fed Cacau, who fired his shot past Sebastian Mielitz.
The match was soured somewhat by two late red cards, one coming for wither side. First, Harnik picked up a second yellow card for Stuttgart before Assani Lukimya was shown a straight red just two minutes later.
Neither side could find a winner, however, and the match finished all square.
