Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Veltins-Arena!
  • 5' Kwon Changhoon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Schalke 04 and SC Freiburg are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Freiburg that had 496 games and scored 479 goals.
  • 20' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 25' A quiet spell here at Veltins-Arena. FC Schalke 04 seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 26' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Suat Serdar makes it 1-0.
  • 31' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 36' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 41' Robin Koch is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Schalke 04 tonight.
  • 46' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 46 minutes.
  • 51' With 0 assists to his name this season, Benito Raman is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Schalke 04.
  • 54' Nils Petersen makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and SC Freiburg are in front.
  • 59' Controversy at the stadium! Nicolas Hofler argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 60' It is a substitution in SC Freiburg team. Janik Haberer is replaced by Kwon Changhoon on 60 minute.
  • 61' Jonjoe Kenny is having his name booked by the referee on 61.
  • 66' SC Freiburg seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 67' A goal from the Italy international Vincenzo Grifo! He fires home on 67 to make it 1-2!
  • 70' It is a substitution in FC Schalke 04 team. Rabbi Matondo is replaced by Ahmed Kutucu on 70 minute.
  • 75' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 76' Vincenzo Grifo makes way for Brandon Borrello at the 76 minute mark. A tactical switch from SC Freiburg.
  • 80' GOAL! Ahmed Kutucu scores on 80.
  • 85' Rabbi Matondo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 5 Yellow cards this season.
  • 90' Another substitution for FC Schalke 04 to replace Benito Raman by Guido Burgstaller on 90 minute.
  • The final score is 2-2.
