Events
Match Events

- 10' Morocco international Nassim Boujellab has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 13' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Ante Rebic makes it 0-1.
- 18' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 18 minutes.
- 21' GOAL! Suat Serdar fires home to make it 1-1!
- 23' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jonathan de Guzman on 23.
- 25' It’s a booking for FC Schalke 04 player. Suat Serdar gets a Yellow card.
- 30' The travelling Eintracht Frankfurt supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 35' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Schalke 04 is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 38' The supporters are chanting for Obite N'Dicka. He replaces Martin Hinteregger on 38 minute.
- 43' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Schalke 04 and Eintracht Frankfurt are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 45' Poor challenge from Breel Embolo. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 46' Another substitution for Eintracht Frankfurt to replace Jonathan de Guzman by Goncalo Paciencia on 46 minute.

- 66' The supporters are chanting for Ahmed Kutucu. He replaces Breel Embolo on 66 minute.
- 71' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Alexander Nubel suffering a number of foals already.
- 76' It looks surprising FC Schalke 04 does not make any changes. David Abraham has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 79' Nassim Boujellab makes way for Sebastian Rudy at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Schalke 04.
- 84' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 89' Supporters expect more eagerness from Luka Jovic, as he is very good at scoring at Veltins-Arena with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 90' What a strike from Luka Jovic! The score is 1-2.
- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Suat Serdar on 90.
- 1-2 the final result. FC Schalke 04 will be bitterly disappointed.
