Hertha can’t get past 0: 0 against Schalke – sport

–

At the start of the game, the guest fans made clear on a large poster what they thought was the biggest difference between Schalke and Hertha, in which investor Lars Windhorst had acquired 49.9 percent of the shares: “Registered association”.

Schalke’s Ozan Kabak is lucky

On the grass, the royal blues, who had lost 5-0 at Bayern Munich a week ago, found the game a little better. Driven by a lively, but often faulty Amine Harit, the Schalke tried to crack the defense bulwark of the Herthanians. Except for the shot by Weston McKennie (45. + 1), which the Herthan Maximilian Mittelstädt and Rune Jarstein drove over the crossbar, nothing came of it at first.

On the other hand, Nübel had practically nothing to do in the first half, the Berliners hardly got into the opposing penalty area. Dodi Lukebakio was a striker for Davie Selke, who switched to Werder Bremen on Friday. The Belgian also often turned to the wings or dropped into midfield and was therefore missing as a reference station in the center.

After the change of sides, both teams took a little more risk, which led to opportunities on both sides. The biggest missed Schalke striker Benito Raman (58.) after a bad pass by Hertha defender Dedryck Boyata. In the 52nd minute, Schalke’s central defender Ozan Kabak was lucky that referee Sascha Stegemann didn’t penalize his jersey in the penalty area against fast Javairo Dilrosun. Piatek was unlucky when a header landed just next to the goal ten minutes after his substitution (73.).
