Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. SV 07 Elversberg get us underway at Veltins-Arena.
  • 5' SV 07 Elversberg is showing some good football. However, SV 07 Elversberg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 15' FC Schalke 04 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.
  • 20' Lukas Petkov adds to his 1 season tally! SV 07 Elversberg lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 25' SV 07 Elversberg are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 30' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 35' Carlo Sickinger has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 38' That looks like a foul for a card for Florian Le Joncour.
  • 43' Over 43 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 44' It’s gonna be a card for Lukas Pinckert.
  • 47' Maurice Neubauer has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 47 minutes.
  • 52' Derry Murkin has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 52.
  • 57' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 58' Another change for FC Schalke 04 made on 58 minute. Adrian Gantenbein leaves to be changed by Yassin Ben Balla.
  • 63' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Schalke 04 needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 68' 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 Max Gruger suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' Another change for FC Schalke 04 made on 70 minute. Max Gruger leaves to be changed by Pierre-Michel Lasogga.
  • 75' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Schalke 04 in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past SV 07 Elversberg's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 78' A tactical swap from FC Schalke 04 — Amin Younes on, Tobias Mohr off on 78 minutes.
  • 79' Luca Schnellbacher has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tom Zimmerschied on 79 minute.
  • 84' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 85' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Yassin Ben Balla makes it 1-2.
  • 86' Another substitution for SV 07 Elversberg to replace Fisnik Asllani by Frederik Schmahl on 86 minute.
  • 90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Christopher Antwi-Adjei on 90 minutes.
