Halftime!
46 minutes: Schöpf has actually already lost the ball, but gets it back and crosses on Gregoritsch, whose header ultimately misses the target clearly.
45th minute: Embolo prevails against three Schalke players and gives up on Plea, who finds Herrmann after two tricks. The wing racer closes with the left, Schubert is there.
40th minute: Five minutes are left in the first round. Can a team still score a goal here?
38th minute: Thuram! Schubert is actually beaten after a header, when Gregoritsch clarifies on the line. The Frenchman then falls and demands a penalty. Aytekin does not comply with this request. A small pack formation follows, but the situation quickly calms down again.
33 minutes: Mascarell fills up with the penalty area, but Ginter is attentive.
31 minutes: Lainer is late against Serdar. A foul with consequences for the Austrian: The logical yellow card is his fifth. He will be missing against Mainz next weekend.
28 minutes: Next hundred percent for Schalke! Raman shows up freely before summer, but finds his master again in the Gladbach goalkeeper. That should have been the lead!
26 minutes: Embolo is operated again, but this time the ball runs through his legs. This unexpectedly opens up the opportunity for Thuram. At the last moment Schubert is on the spot, but hits Nastasic in his attempt to clarify. Curious. The corner of Gladbach – which brings nothing.
22 minutes: Embolo is sent, but the play equipment jumps on his heels. Otherwise he would have walked freely towards Schubert.
20th minute: Hofmann puts the free kick in the back area, but Hermann’s shot is blocked. There was more in it.
19th minute: The first yellow card of the game goes to Jonjoe Kenny, who places Thuram. Justifiable.
17th minute: The following corner steers Schubert out, in the second he is fully on hand and secures the ball.
17th minute: Now the foals again. Plea pulls out and hits Kabak’s hand. Because he put them on his back, there is only a corner.
16th minute: The interaction between Jantschke and Wendt is not yet working well in the Gladbach back team. After a bad pass, Schöpf shoots in sixteen, but does not aim precisely enough.
13th minute: Serdar can go on.
11th minute: After a fair tackling from Jantschke, Serdar lies on the ground and needs to be treated. Time to take a deep breath.
8th minute: The start here is promising. There is no trace of palpation here, both teams start with a lot of speed.
6th minute: Then on the other side the first really big option! Raman is sent on the right on the journey, effortlessly passes Wendt and finds Gregoritsch in the middle. He shoots from close range and hits summer. The Swiss can also defuse Serdar’s second attempt.
5th minute: Thuram fights the ball against Schöpf, then the guests combine. From the edge of the box Plea throws the ball onto the goal and forces Nübel representative Schubert to a first parade.
3rd minute: Borussia pulls out the first corner. In a nutshell, this does not help because Wendt’s flank is a little too long.
1st minute: Gladbach’s goalkeeper plays too short a pass under pressure. The Schalke are here immediately!
Kick-off! The game is running. Hello, Bundesliga second half!
8:29 pm: The guests will clink glasses.
8:27 pm: The teams come in!
8:19 p.m .: The light goes out, the riser song sounds. Bundesliga, what did we miss you!
8.07pm: The Veltins Arena is already full, the atmosphere is magnificent. All football Germany is longing for the kick-off. Around 20 minutes until kickoff!
19:34: The lineups are there: Ramy Bensebaini (muscle injury) and Nico Elvedi (back pain) are missing from Gladbach. S04 coach Wagner has to compensate for the loss of playmaker Amine Harit (thigh injury). New signing Michael Gregoritsch plays from the beginning, Barca loan Jean-Clair Todibo is at least on the bench.

1:43 p.m .: The balance sheet speaks for the guests: Gladbach has been unbeaten against Schalke for eight games. The last defeat was on Schalke in October 2016. Overall, the foals (46 wins) more often than winners (Schalke: 40).
12.51 p.m .: One of the major contributors to Schalke’s consistency in the first half of the season is Everton on loan and right-back Jonjoe Kenny. But although the royal blue has no purchase option for the 22-year-old, the S04 fans are now hoping to stay. >> Here you can find out why <<,
