Big chance
A cross from the right slips through to Lars Gindorf at the far post. He heads it towards the near post in the direction of Håvard Nielsen, who seems somewhat surprised and fails to make contact with the ball in the six-yard box.
82'
End of two streaks?
Hannover are the only Bundesliga 2 team still unbeaten since the turn of the year. What's more, Breitenreiter hasn't lost in the division in 22 matches, dating back to 4 April 2014.

More in that!

Inventive effort
Schallenberg with an acrobatic effort from a long throw that Zieler had to push over. That would have been special!

Poor set-piece
Phil Neumann ins brought down on the left-hand side by Gantenbein, but the free-kick comes to nothing.
33'
Leopold misses chance
Leopold takes advantage of a misplace Schalke pass, but fails to spot Monju Momuluh making a run behind him. Instead, he goes it alone, sending a shot on the turn over.

The ultimate goal guarantee
None of the 85 competitive matches between FC Schalke 04 and Hannover 96 has ended 0-0! Schalke are clearly ahead in the overall record (48 wins, 20 wins for H96), but Hannover achieved a significant victory against the Royal Blues: in 1938, the Lower Saxony side became German champions for the first time with a 4-3 win after extra-time.

Positive home record
Schalke have secured eight wins and one draw in their last nine home matches against Hannover across all competitions. The last time Hannover won in Gelsenkirchen was 15 years ago (2-1 in August 2010 in the Bundesliga) when Manuel Neuer was still in goal for the hosts.
Recap
Their 1-0 victory in the sides' first meeting this season was Hannover's first in their 13th Bundesliga 2 encounter with Schalke (five draws, seven defeats) and a disappointing debut for Kees van Wonderen as Schalke coach. Former Schalke player Fabian Kunze scored the only goal four minutes in (Kunze played alongside Boris Tomiak in Schalke's U17 team in 2014/15).
