The goals and turning points of the game

Before the fans were able to adjust to the first goal of the Schalke, Cuisance surprisingly achieved the lead for Hertha. The shot seemed durable, but Heekeren could not ward off the ball. Shortly afterwards, however, Karaman conjured up a wonderful hit from 17 meters into the upper right corner, which caused jubilation among the Schalke followers. Mohr followed his example and contributed the second goal, with which the hosts went 2-1 into the half -time break.

The second half was more intensely, as the Berliners pushed for the equalization. Despite their efforts, clear goal campaigns failed to materialize. Only later in the game when Smail Prevljak was substituted did the pressure from Hertha had fruits. He achieved a penalty in the 72nd minute, which secured the deserved 2-2 for the guests. With this goal, Hertha consolidated her table position with a total of eleven points, while Schalke only has three points after this encounter.

coach Fimpel, who ended his time as an interim coach with this game, will go down in the history books because he left the team with a solid point, but remains known as a transition figure in the Schalke coaching history. As different sources report, Kees van Wonderen will soon take over the Schalke team and could provide new impulses in the club.

The encounter was not only remarkable in terms of the awarding of the points, but also showed the ability of both teams not to give any of the pages a clear advantage in an exciting game. The team from Gelsenkirchen, despite the draw, can build on the most recent services, although they still have to wait for their first win of the season.
