Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Veltins-Arena!
  • 5' Dominick Drexler is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Schalke 04 so far.
  • 10' 1. FC Köln come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 15' FC Schalke 04 are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined 1. FC Köln backline.
  • 20' 1. FC Köln is showing some good football. However, 1. FC Köln are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' The travelling 1. FC Köln supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' 1. FC Köln fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 31' Magnificent from Rafael Czichos! That is 13 goals in 408 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 36' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 41' Toluwalas Arokodare, a Nigeria forward, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

  • 62' 1. FC Köln has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.

  • 72' Elvis Rexhbecaj is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kingsley Ehizibue at the 72 minute mark.
  • 77' Sead Kolasinac has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 81' Salih Ozcan gets the nod from 1. FC Koln. He replaces Jonas Hector and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 86' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. 1. FC Köln needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 88' Another change for 1. FC Koln made on 88 minute. Dominick Drexler leaves to be changed by Jan Thielmann.
  • 89' FC Schalke 04 receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 89.
