It was goalless first-half but the game exploded into life after the interval. Per Mertesacker put Bremen ahead two minutes into the second half.
Bayern then took control in the final half an hour of the game as Arjen Robben levelled after 65 minutes.

The defeat leaves Bremen just three points above the drop zone.
