Schalke 04: Seguin misses dress rehearsal due to cold

Trainer had nine days Karel Geraerts the professionals from FC Schalke 04 sweat in the training camp in Albufeira, Portugal. The second half of the 2nd league begins for his team on Saturday in a week’s time (8.30 p.m./Sky) with a cracker against the current third-placed team Hamburger SV. And there is an urgent need for a turnaround: instead of being in a promotion spot, S04 is stuck deep in the table cellar after a miserable first series. It was only enough for 14th place.

The last test against Eupen should give us more momentum to start catching up in a week. Paul Seguin missed the dress rehearsal; he was missing from the matchday squad due to a cold, Schalke announced this before the game.

90.: Ending! Schalke wins here 3:1 (2:0). After a good first half, Gelsenkirchen had a few problems defensively after the break. Things have to get better before the HSV game next Saturday.

88.: After an Eupen corner, Malhage gets the ball from the second row – his shot goes over.

86.: Next S04 conclusion. Schalke counterattacks via Castelle. The U23 man lays it across to Drexler, but he shoots just wide of the goal from around 20 meters.

85.: There’s another murmur going through the arena. Substitute Lasme (comeback after torn muscle fiber) asserts himself in the penalty area and hammers the ball onto the post

77.: The game falls flat in this phase. Both teams have now changed several times.

72.: Next chance for Eupen. A shot attempt from the right is blocked by Kalas at the last moment. Schalke has lost the thread here.

69.: GOAL for Eupen! 3:1! Alfred Finnbogason scores for the Dutch. After Cedric Brunner lost the ball in the build-up, the ball landed at ex-Augsburg player Finnbogason. The Icelander keeps his nerve one-on-one with Ralf Fährmann and scores.

62.: GOAL for Schalke! 3-0 by Simon Terodde! After some discussions from the Eupen team, Terodde takes the penalty and sinks it down the right. The 3:0.

60.: Penalty for Schalke! Thomas Ouwejan is straddled by Filin. Referee Robin Braun doesn’t hesitate for a second and points to the spot.

45.: Half time! Schalke deservedly leads 2-0.

42.: Schalke with a counterattack. Mohr picks up the pace in midfield and moves into the penalty area. Although Ouwejan runs behind, Mohr tries a right-footed shot. This is blocked. The subsequent corner brings nothing.

41.: Eupen remains completely safe. A corner and a cross from a promising position also fizzle out.

38.: Next good S04 attack. From the left, Mohr brings the ball flat into the backcourt to Karaman. The Turk lets Topp clap, but the talent misses the ball. There was more to it.

35.: Karaman moves into the penalty area at speed, lets a defender get out and finishes. Just over.

32.: Applause for Tomas Kalas. After Kaminski lost the ball, Eupen switched quickly, but Kalas got the ball in front of Emond after a through pass and cleared well.

Schalke dominates and increases

27.: Almost 3-0. Karaman is served with a long ball and passes the ball on to Terodde with the first contact. The striker finishes from the turn and his slightly deflected shot can just be parried by Slonina.

25.: Once again the Belgians attack, but Mohr and Ouwejan block two shot attempts. S04 currently has everything under control here.

18th: GOAL for Schalke! 2-0 by Blendi Idrizi! Another great combination. Again it goes quickly to the right. This time Topp sends Terodde with a through ball, the captain hits Idrizi with the first contact and the midfielder sinks the ball to make it 2-0. Really nice hit. It’s almost magical football here.

13.: Injury interruption. After a collision with Schallenberg, Magnee falls to the ground. After a short treatment he can continue playing.

8.: Only a few hundred Eupen fans came along, but they set off pyrotechnics in the guest block. There are whistles from Schalke.

5th: GOAL for Schalke! 1-0 by Simon Terodde! Things are going well for the Royal Blues. Schalke played quickly on the right and started a relay of passes. Topp sends Karaman, who passes it across to Terodde, who in turn has no trouble pushing the ball over the line from 6 meters. Really good combination. For Terodde it is the third goal in the third test.

4.: First attack from the guests from Eupen, but Brunner can stop Nuhu at the last moment.

3.: Already in the first few minutes it is clear that Schalke wants and will win the game here. So far S04 has had continuous possession of the ball.

1.: Let’s go! The ball is rolling.
