Kick-off of the 2nd half

9:22 p.m
Half-time conclusion:
Break in Düsseldorf, Fortuna leads 3-0 against Schalke 04. Not much happened in the first ten minutes, the red and whites had a small visual advantage. But then things happened in quick succession: S04 made several mistakes in defense, so that twice Vermeij and once Klaus made it 3-0 within a few moments. Even after that, there were still one or two tricky situations that the Royal Blues had to overcome. Coach Geraerts even made three changes, and his team has been a bit more stable since then. Shortly before halftime there was even a good opportunity to score, but the Rhinelanders are still the better team. Will there be a comeback or a slap in the second half? We’ll see, see you soon!

End of 1st half

9:19 p.m
Karaman! Kalas runs through the opponent’s half and slots into his teammate’s path from the half-right. Kastenmeier certainly defuses his shot from a few meters.
45.
9:18 p.m
Before the break, the guests generated longer periods of possession for the first time. But Düsseldorf is compact and doesn’t allow anything.
45.
9:16 p.m
Official added time (minutes): 4

9:16 p.m
Now the hosts are in touch again! A fine combination ends on the right with Iyoha, whose cross is just deflected by Kalas for a corner. This brings in nothing.
44.
9:14 p.m
…but the stationary ball is too short and too flat. Weak.
43.
9:13 p.m
The best Schalke attack ends in a corner. Seguin passes from the center to the right wing, where Matriciani’s cross is blocked for a corner…
41.
9:11 p.m
Fire hazard! Vermeij extends Gavory’s cross from the left to Klaus at the five-pointer at the far post. The scorer of the 2-0 is completely free, but doesn’t hit the ball correctly. Then ferryman is there.
41.
9:10 p.m
As a result of his substitution, Ouwejan was anything but amused. The Dutchman wanted to disappear straight into the catacombs, but then had to listen to a few words from Geraerts and team manager Asamoah.
38.
9:08 p.m
Yellow card for Paul Seguin (FC Schalke 04)
Seguin makes a tactical foul. He sees yellow.
37.
9:07 p.m
The next Schalke player gets kicked. Kalas gets hit on the foot but should be able to continue.
34.
9:05 p.m
S04 coach Geraerts is fed up. Not only does he bring in Idrizi for the injured Drexler. He also sends Tempelmann and Ouwejan to the locker room early. Seguin and Mohr are now there for the two of them.

9:04 p.m
Substitution at FC Schalke 04: Paul Seguin

Substitution at FC Schalke 04: Dominick Drexler
31.
9:01 p.m
Drexler returns to the field, but then indicates that he has to be replaced. Very, very unhappy.
29.
8:59 p.m
Things are getting worse for Schalke. Now Drexler is also injured and the veteran will have to be replaced.

Great for Fortuna Düsseldorf, 3-0 by Vincent Vermeij
Düsseldorf in a frenzy! A wide punch from the right lands Tzolis in the box on the left. Its direct shot drips onto the right crossbar and from there into the middle. Vermeij then prevails in an aerial duel a few meters in front of the goal. Kamiński can no longer save the ball on the line. By the way, the ferryman looks bad as he staggers wildly through the five.
25.
20:56
Thioune has thought of a simple tactical option. Again and again it goes to the left side, where Matriciani is completely overwhelmed.
22.
20:54
Once again, Schalke has had a disastrous start to a second division encounter. Coming back here will be more than difficult.
19.
8:49 p.m
Great for Fortuna Düsseldorf, 2-0 by Felix Klaus
The 2-0! Gavory sends Tzolis forward, whose low cross lands at the first post for Klaus. The 31-year-old takes the ball straight away and finishes with the tip of his foot. Murkin deflects slightly, so that Fährmann has no chance.
19.
8:49 p.m
Düsseldorf presses! After a cross from Gavory was blocked, the ball landed at Sobottka. The ex-Schalke player hits it just over from 23 meters.
16.
8:47 p.m
Drexler tries a cross from the right wing, but it gets stuck in Engelhardt’s hand. Correctly there is no penalty – the distance was clearly too short.
15.
8:46 p.m
Thanks to the lead, the home team jump to third place, at least for the moment, past newly promoted Elversberg. The home fans should like that.
13.
8:43 p.m
Great for Fortuna Düsseldorf, 1-0 by Vincent Vermeij
And via the wing there is also the tour for Düsseldorf! Gavory has way too much space on the left side. His pinpoint cross lands on the head of Vermeij, who nods into the left corner from nine meters. Kamiński was standing miles away.
12.
20:42
It is noticeable that Fortuna is looking to control the game here. A lot of ball possession and active wing play should be directed against the guests’ often shaky defense.
9.
8:40 p.m
Now S04 logs in for the first time. Only another Drexler cross cleared from the right. Kamiński grabs the rebound and his low shot from 30 meters goes past the right.
7.
8:36 p.m
Schalke didn’t really come into their own offensively in the first few minutes. Düsseldorf goes early and presses to ensure that the Royal Blues go for the long ball, which often leads to the loss of the ball.
4.
8:35 p.m
…and Jóhannesson brings it to the goal, where Tzolis then commits an offensive foul against Matriciani. Schalke are awarded a free kick in their own box and the danger is eliminated for the time being.
3.
8:34 p.m
And the same game again! Iyoha runs over a stumbled ball from Klaus and then passes it back to Engelhardt, who is fouled a good 25 meters to the right of the goal. Free kick Fortuna…
2.
8:33 p.m
Fortuna comes over the right side, where Iyoha comes to cross at the corner flag. Tzolis is lurking at the second post, but the scene is whistled for offside.
1.
8:31 p.m
The game is open and the guests have the ball!

Game start
20:27
Dinner is served! The referees for the match are Robert Schröder and his assistants Jan Neitzel-Petersen and Daniel Bartnitzki.
8:10 p.m
They also talked about promotion at Schalke before the current season – but at the moment it’s just about staying in class. 13 meager points from 13 matches and eight defeats have already resulted in Gelsenkirchen only being in 16th place. There was a serious setback right before the international break: While it initially seemed as if the knot had broken due to the successes over Hannover 96 (2:1) and at 1. FC Nürnberg (2:1), something happened two weeks ago Home defeat against newly promoted SV Elversberg (1:2). Will the turnaround be successful today at Fortuna of all places?
7:50 p.m
The Rhinelanders have had to give up a few feathers recently. If they managed two more wins against 1. FC Kaiserslautern (4:3) and at Eintracht Braunschweig (4:1), they lost twice in a row – including quite surprising results (1:3 against SV Wehen Wiesbaden, 0:1 at the SpVgg Greuther Fürth). With regard to Hamburger SV and FC St. Pauli, who are in the first two positions in the table, this was of course annoying from the perspective of the sixth-placed Düsseldorf team. There are currently six points separating them from HSV and the direct promotion ranks.
