HALFTIME! What a strong first 45 minutes for FC Schalke 04! The Royal Blues showed early on that they needed to win today. Simon Terodde took the lead after just 4 minutes. Almost 14 minutes later, Blendi Idrizi increased the score to 2-0 for S04. The Knappen are drawing attention to themselves with great combinations and have been defending them very well so far. We’ll get back to you in the second half.
35 minutes: Karaman storms into the penalty area, but his left-foot shot goes well past the goal.
32nd min: In the last few minutes, Eupen dared to move forward again and again, but without creating any significant chances. The Schalke defense has been doing a very good job at the back so far.
27th minute: Karaman with a great pass to Terodde, who shoots straight away. But his shot is blocked and is no problem for the goalkeeper.
22nd min: Yellow card for Eupen’s Keita, who unnecessarily fouls Brunner and Schallenberg twice – and that’s a friendly!
18th min: GOAL for FC Schalke 04! Another great attack from the Knappen! Again, several Schalke players are involved: Topp plays to Terodde, who serves Idrizi in the penalty area. The midfield star crowned a good preparation with a goal and the 2-0 for S04.
9 mins: Good start for Schalke, who are starting like the fire department here. So far almost nothing has come from Eupen.
4th min: GOAL for FC Schalke 04! What a great goal from the Royal Blues! Topp plays a strong pass to Karaman, who then has an eye for Terodde in the six-yard box. The S04 striker then turns ice-cold to take the lead.
