Events

Match Events

5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Julian Nagelsmann will be considering his options from the bench.
15' 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.
20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Schalke 04 that had 417 games and scored 321 goals.
21' Benjamin Hubner catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 21.
25' GOAL! Ishak Belfodil scores on 25. Assisted by Nadiem Amiri
28' The referee calls foul for Breel Embolo. He receives a Yellow card.
31' Kerem Demirbay has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 31.
36' Benjamin Hubner has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
41' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
42' Daniel Caligiuri picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
45' Andrej Kramaric doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.

56' Fresh legs for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim! Adam Szalai comes on to replace Benjamin Hubner.
60' What a moment for Daniel Caligiuri! That strike on 60 puts his side firmly in control.
65' The Hungary Adam Szalai breaks the deadlock on 65 minutes. 1-3!
70' 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 Breel Embolo suffering a number of foals already.
71' Joshua Brenet is replacing Nico Schulz for the TSG 1899 Hoffenheim side.
73' The Germany Nadiem Amiri breaks the deadlock on 73 minutes. 1-4!

81' The crowd applauds Weston McKennie as he leaves the pitch. Amine Harit steps in for FC Schalke 04.
83' The referee shows TSG 1899 Hoffenheim player a Yellow card on 83.
88' 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.
90' The Austria Guido Burgstaller breaks the deadlock on 90 minutes. 2-5!
The points are shared — FC Schalke 04 2-5 TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Honours even.
