Full-time: Schalke 2-2 Kaiserslautern

After a rather quiet period of stoppage time, Džeko's debut for Schalke ends in a draw. For a long time, it didn't look like that would happen. After falling behind, Schalke pushed for an equaliser, but remained too harmless and even conceded from a counter-attack. Through a world-class goal from Džeko and a last-minute strike from Karaman, they were able to snatch a point.

What a comeback!!!!

Schalke aren't giving up

The Miners still want to get at least a point here. However, two corners in a row haven't provided any results.

Is that the decisive moment?

Schalke push for an equaliser but lose the ball on the edge of the opposition penalty area. After a long ball, Prtajin has half the pitch ahead of him and, one-on-one with Karius, he keeps his cool and finds the net for the second time.

Norman Bassette

58'

Crossbar

The set-piece is a dangerous one. Becker gets a relatively free header in the six-yard box and, after bouncing once, the ball hits the crossbar and then goes over the goal.

58'

Krahl involved

After a free-kick, the ball reaches Porath via Younes and Gomis. However, Krahl manages to clear the shot towards the near post for a corner.

55'

It's getting heated

Karius wants to catch a cross. But Bassette jumps into the keeper and a free-kick is awarded. This leads to a small disagreement between the goalkeeper and the striker.

54'

Katić chance

Another shot on goal, which takes Schalke's tally to five - that's one more than in the entire match in Berlin last week. The Royal Blues are still struggling going forward in 2026.

52'

Schalke again

Katić is up front after a corner and brings down a long ball. He doesn't strike the ball cleanly as he turns, though, and it goes narrowly wide.

51'

Back in action

Kunze is back on the pitch. The match is back underway for now.

49'

Brief interruption

Kunze is sitting on the ground and needs treatment. Will he be able to continue?

48'

Next shot

Bassette is quicker than the Schalke defence, but the Belgian fires wide from a tight angle.

Second half underway

When will the first goal come this afternoon in Gelsenkirchen? Will Džeko be the man to provide it if he is brought on?

Half-time: Schalke 0-0 Kaiserslautern

After one minute of stoppage time, Zwayer blows for the half-time break. Schalke were slightly better at the start and could have taken the lead through Kuruçay, but the visitors became increasingly dangerous. So far, however, they still lack cutting edge in the final third.

No penalty

The hosts want a spot-kick after Gomis is brought down by Gyamfi in the area. Referee Zwayer, though, waves away the protests.

Ritter again

The captain gets the ball on the edge of the penalty area and takes a shot on the turn, but the ball lands just wide of the post.

Schalke slowing down

Spirited Schalke start with four shots on goal in the first 13 minutes, but they haven't had another attempt since then.

Double chance

Joly delivers a low cross into the penalty area. First Bassette misses it, but Ritter is at the far post and forces Karius into a save. Ayhan blocks Haas's follow-up shot for a corner, but the set-piece comes to nothing.

30'

Gomis too elaborate

Younes wins the ball high up the pitch and drives forward with pace, and the ball then reaches Gomis via Faouzi. However, the striker prefers to dribble past another opponent rather than shoot at goal and loses the ball.

Kaiserslautern counter-attack

The visitors have a great chance to take the lead! Ritter plays a perfect through ball to Skyttä, but the Finn stumbles on the ball when one-on-one with Karius and thus wastes a golden opportunity.

Schalke applying pressure...

World-class save

Karaman crosses into the penalty spot, where Kuruçay rises highest and heads the ball towards the top corner. However, Krahl is there and claws it out.

Balanced start

So far, both teams are evenly matched. The visitors have now settled into the game and are enjoying their first extended spells of possession.

Kaiserslautern also venture forward for the first time. However, Schallenberg blocks Joly's shot on the edge of the penalty area.

Watch: Džeko warms up

Never again

On 27 January 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp was liberated. Since 2004, football matches in Germany held around 27 January have become a symbol of remembrance for all the lives persecuted under National Socialism. Schalke and Kaiserslautern stand united today with the powerful message "Never Again".

Another prominent newcomer

Schalke have a new number two behind Karius following Kevin Müller's arrival from Heidenheim. He brins with him the experience of 67 Bundesliga and 263 Bundesliga 2 matches. He also knows how to get promoted...

More on that Kaiserslautern team

The visitors make just one change to the side that beat Hannover last weekend, as new signing Chernev comes in for Hanslik to make his debut. That should suggest a change in formation for Kaiserslautern.

Džeko's Germany comeback after 5,513 days

A German champion (Wolfsburg), an English champion (ManCity), an Italian Cup winner (Inter Milan), and top scorer in both the Bundesliga and Serie A - Džeko has had quite the career. His last match in Germany was 15 years ago for Wolfsburg (22nd December 2010, 1-3 in the cup against Cottbus - Džeko scored). Will he make it onto the field today?
