Bayern are seven points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who beat RB Leipzig 3-2 on Saturday, with a game in hand.

Werder were much the better team in the first half and home goalkeeper Manuel Neuer had to be at best to keep out a deflected effort from Weiser.

Werder forward Justin Njinmah had the ball in the net shortly before the half-hour mark, only for the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) to flag up a foul on Jamal Musiala shortly beforehand.

Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel made attacking substitutions in search of an equaliser and teenager Mathys Tel went close on a couple of occasions.

Werder held firm and it was the first time the Munich outfit had failed to score in a Bundesliga game at the Allianz Arena in 66 games, dating back to a goalless draw against RB Leipzig in February 2020.
