Mid-term conclusion:
At the break, Braunschweig leads 1-0 against Schalke, which also reflects the course of the game well. The initial phase, which was marked by several degrees, belonged to the lions. Just as the Gelsenkirchen team got into the game, a misguided pass from Tauer also resulted in a goal at the right moment, from which S04 never really recovered. Karaman, who later had to go down injured, still had the best opportunity to equalize with a lob. Ultimately, however, the guests did not score a single shot on goal in the first round. The BTSV was the much more committed team.

Donkor works his way up the left wing and then just pulls away. However, the shot rushes past the long corner.
45+4
14:19
Tauer refuels on the right to the front, but then sinks the cross erratically in the gate. Significant for the current game of Schalke.

Not much comes from Schalke anymore. The miners follow what is happening. Braunschweig fixes almost every second ball.

Because of the drinking break and several injury-related interruptions, there are still ample six minutes left.

Overall, Eintracht manages the lead very well, remains poisonous in duels and can always set pinpricks after winning the ball. Schalke is struggling to gain access.

Karaman injured his knee in a duel. Reis has to change early and brings Kozuki.

Good chance for Braunschweig! Tauer can’t catch Ujah in a duel and the attacker immediately pulls off powerfully from the turn. The right-footed shot from 17 meters is aimed at the guest goal, but Müller can clear the corner with a strong save, which does not bring anything further.

Yellow card for Robert Ivanov (Eintracht Braunschweig)

Johan Gómez shoots his opponent in the opposing penalty area and claims handball. However, everything is fine.
32
14:02
Huge chance for Schalke! The guests almost manage to equalize. After the pass, Karaman is through on the left. Hoffmann comes out a little too late and Karaman starts to chip over the keeper. Hoffmann is beaten, but the ball just misses the goal on the right. Lucky for Brunswick.
30
14:00
Krauss is standing again. The game can be continued. Due to the drinking break and the treatment on the field, the pace is just a bit off.

13:59
Robin Krausse took a hit in a duel and needs to be treated on the field. As a result, the game is currently on hold.

The drinking break is over. It can now continue with the repulsion of the Royal Blues.

13:54
Again the BTSV. Ujah lays it down for Gómez, who plays an unfortunate mix of passing and shooting from 15 yards out. The ball is out of reach for Ujah and rushes just past the left post of the Schalke goal. After this scene, the referee asks the actors for a drink break.

Tooor for Eintracht Braunschweig, 1:0 by Fabio Kaufmann
Just as S04 is getting stronger again, Braunschweig scores the goal to make it 1-0. Tauer makes a momentous bad pass in the center, whereupon everything goes very quickly. Ujah’s pass lands right in Kaufmann’s run, who stays cool in the one-on-one against Müller and deliberately inserts it in the bottom right corner from 15 meters.
20
1:50 p.m
Schalke again: Ivanov unluckily clears Lasme’s run with his head, who immediately shoots from four meters and an acute angle. Hoffmann is already beaten, but the ball only hits the side netting. The Gelsenkircheners are back in the game.
19
1:49 p.m
Tauer served Schallenberg with a throw-in and via Lasme the ball landed at Seguin, who tested Hoffmann from a very acute angle. The BTSV keeper parries safely.
16
1:47 p.m
A quarter of an hour has passed and the BTSV is still on the trigger. It is very difficult for Schalke to keep possession of the ball against Eintracht’s aggressive pressing.
13.
13:43
There is also a fire in the Schalke penalty area at the corner. Müller fists the leather too erratically from the sixteen. The Lower Saxony fix the second ball and press again. Ultimately, the right-footed shot by Jannis Nikolaou from twelve meters is a case for the stands.
12.
13:42
Eintracht is really good in the game and comes to the next strong finish. Kaufmann runs free at the first post and checks Müller with a right-footed shot to the near corner. The S04 keeper can clarify for a corner.
9.
13:39
What a big chance for the BTSV! Ujah sends Kaufmann over the left, refuels in the box and then gets the ball back at the five-yard line. With his powerful shot from the turn, however, there is still a Schalke in between, who decisively deflects the ball to a corner, which then brings nothing further.
7.
13:37
Tauer is on the ground again. The 22-year-old has to put up with a lot in the first few minutes. In the unfortunate duel with Krauße he suffered a laceration. However, after further treatment, he is now returning to the field.
5.
1:35 p.m
Eintracht also appears in front of the guest goal for the first time. Donkor refuels strongly and then finds the free Ujah, who pulls crisply from 17 meters to the right corner, but just misses the goal.
4.
13:34
Tauer is cleared in the center and has to be treated for a short time. With the subsequent free kick, it rang for the first time in Braunschweig’s box. Ouwejan finds Karaman at the far post, but he nods off in the near corner from an offside position. The flag goes straight up on the sidelines.

1:30 p.m
Kick-off in the Eintracht Stadium. The hosts wear yellow jerseys over blue shorts. The guests from Gelsenkirchen are dressed all in black. Let’s go.
13:06
Incidentally, today is the 50th competitive game between the two teams. Although the lions have all lost the last six games against S04, they are ahead in a direct comparison with 21 wins (12 draws, 16 defeats). Braunschweig celebrated its last win against Schalke on August 6, 1989. At that time, the BTSV won 5-1 away in Gelsenkirchen in the 2nd Bundesliga. It is the Knappen’s heaviest second division defeat to date.
12:55 p.m
Compared to the 3-1 away win in Braunschweig in the DFB Cup, Thomas Reis made three changes to his starting eleven today: Bryan Lasme, Niklas Tauer and Thomas Ouwejan are preferred to Henning Matriciani, Dominick Drexler (both bench) and Cédric Brunner ( foot problems).
12:48 p.m
Just like in the last second division season two years ago, FC Schalke 04 followed up their opening defeat against HSV with a 3-0 home win. The Royal Blues now want to build on this in Braunschweig. The record speaks for the Gelsenkirchen team, who have all won their last six competitive games against Eintracht with 16:5 goals.
12:42 p.m
Compared to the cup defeat, BTSV coach Jens Härtel changed his starting lineup in just one position today: New signing Robert Ivanov starts today for the first time for Sebastian Griesbeck, who saw the traffic light card in the cup and is not in the squad today due to muscular problems.
12:37 p.m
Both teams just faced each other in the first round of the DFB Cup last weekend. Schalke won a heated game 3-1 at BTSV, who lost all three competitive games of the still young 2023/24 season. In the 2nd Bundesliga, Lower Saxony lost 1-0 at home to Holstein Kiel and lost 2-1 away in Magdeburg. The lions started last season with four defeats.
12:31
Hello and welcome from the Eintracht Stadium. Here Eintracht Braunschweig welcomes FC Schalke 04 at 1:30 p.m. today as part of the 3rd matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga.
