Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Veltins-Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' The 29-year-old Santiago Ascacibar has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 6' Magnificent from Amine Harit! That is 20 goals in 408 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 11' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 11 minutes.
  • 16' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 18' A goal from the Belgium international Dedryck Boyata! He fires home on 18 to make it 1-1!
  • 19' Dedryck Boyata makes no mistake. The score reads 1-2 and Hertha BSC are in front.
  • 24' A quiet spell here at Veltins-Arena. FC Schalke 04 seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 29' Salif Sane has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 34' It looks surprising Hertha BSC does not make any changes. Nemanja Radonjic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 39' Over 39 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 43' Amine Harit catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 43.
  • 48' FC Schalke 04 are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 50' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Vladimir Darida.
  • 54' Controversy at the stadium! Shkodran Mustafi argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 57' The supporters are chanting for Jessic Ngankam. He replaces Krzysztof Piatek on 57 minute.
  • 58' The whistle greets Krzysztof Piatek as he departs to be replaced by Jessic Ngankam.
  • 63' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 67' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dodi Lukebakio on 67.
  • 68' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sead Kolasinac on 68.
  • 73' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Schalke 04 must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 74' A stunning finish from Jessic Ngankam — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 76' Fresh legs for Hertha BSC! Jonas Michelbrink comes on to replace Javairo Dilrosun.
  • 77' The whistle greets Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as he departs to be replaced by Benito Raman.
  • 82' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Shkodran Mustafi made 416 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 87' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Schalke 04 and Hertha BSC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 89' Hertha BSC receives a Red card for a hard tackle on 89.
  • 89' Hertha BSC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jordan Torunarigha is hanging Nemanja Radonjic on the field on 89 minute.
  • 90' A change in the FC Schalke 04 ranks — Timo Becker exits the field as Goncalo Paciencia enters on 90.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Jonas Michelbrink. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
