Full-time: Fürth 3-3 Schalke
What a finish from the visitors. Sylla equalised with practically with the last kick, completing Schalke's comeback after they had fallen behind 3-1 following an early lead. Yet more Bundesliga 2 drama.

Sylla madness!
The ball sails in from the left into the Fürth penalty area. Karaman flicks it on with his head towards the far post - where Sylla runs in and scores to make it 3-3. But was the Schalke player offside? The assistant's flag is up, but it's eventually given on review. Schalke are level!

Another counter-attack from the hosts. Klaus has plenty of space on the left side in the opposition half and tries to cross to Srbeny in the centre, but Murkin intervenes at the last moment and manages to clear the danger.

Klaus again!
Klaus has another chance from a central position at the edge of the penalty area, but again the ball goes just wide of the goal, this time to the left. Golden opportunity for Greuther to put this game to bed.

Dangerous counter-attack from the Cloverleaves. Klaus advances on the left towards the penalty area and aims for the far corner. However, his shot goes a bit wide of the right post.

Ba heads in a free-kick cross from Seguin. However, the Fürth offside trap works on the delivery from the right, as the striker is not the only one beyond the last defenders.

Karaman has space and wants to move quickly. However, his pass to Ba is a tad too far.

Half-time: Fürth 2-1 Schalke
A completely crazy first half has come to an end. After Karman's brilliant opener, everything went wrong for Schalke. Fürth equalised immediately, then there was a penalty which Karius saved, but after the second rebound, he still had to pick the ball out of the net. To make matters worse, the keeper seems to have suffered a serious injury afterwards and was replaced by Heekeren.

Schallenberg is late in his challenge on Klaus, resulting in a yellow card. It's the second booking of the match. The first one - for Hrgota in the early stages - will have consequences, as the attacking player will miss next week's match in Darmstadt due to his fifth yellow card of the season.

A wild first half in Fürth, with three goals, two VAR checks, a missed penalty, plus a shot off the post for Fürth. Can Schalke get a foothold in the match before half-time? The home side are now clearly in the ascendency.

The goal stands - Fürth lead!
And he awards the goal. Fürth takes the lead have turned this game around. The replays suggest that Karius didn't have a firm grip on Srbeny's rebound, meaning there was no foul by Consbruch.

Karius dives correctly to his right to save Srbeny's penalty and then also gets back up to save the rebound. But he can't quite hold onto the follow-up, with Consbruch dashing in and somehow bundling the ball over the line via the post. Schalke appeal for a foul on Karius. It's being checked.

Visitors in possession, Fürth lying in wait
Fürth are pressing Schalke's playmaker Seguin, so despite having a lot of possession, there's currently a lack of threat going forward. Fürth are waiting for Schalke to make mistakes and then quickly counter-attack. However, Hrgota's pass to Massimo is too long this time.

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Klaus!
Almost the lead for Fürth. Klaus breaks through on the right and takes a shot. Karius gets down low to his right and manages to turn the ball behind for a corner. Schalke are struggling after the equaliser.

Massimo makes amends!
And suddenly the ball is in the Schalke net. Fürth come down the right, the cross is excellent, Massimo is free at the far post and pulls out a diving header to beat Karius. The scene is reviewed, as an offside position was initially indicated in the build-up. However, this was not the case, and it's the equaliser for Fürth. An immediate response.

Cool Karaman!
Brilliant goal from the captain! Massimo makes a big mistake with a short pass back to Noll. Karaman intercepts, finds himself completely free on the right and then scores with a sublime shot from an extremely tight angle. Even though the goal is empty, he executes it brilliantly, the ball nestling inside the far post.

Up front, Ba's cross doesn't reach its target. Fürth switch play, but then get stopped by Sánchez, who remains vigilant at the centre circle. An important intervention by the young defender.

Sylla back in the squad
Schalke's top scorer (13 goals this season) is back in the squad for the first time since 1 February. The striker had recently been sidelined with a muscle injury.
Massimo with good memories
The reverse fixture was spectacular, with Massimo's brace putting Fürth on course for their 4-3 victory. Perhaps it's that reason why he's starting for the first time since late January.
Only one change for Schalke
The visitors make one change compared to the 2-1 home defeat against Hannover. Felipe Sánchez starts in place of the suspended Marcin Kamiński, making his first start since Matchday 10 (the reverse fixture against Fürth, where he was sent off with a second yellow card).
Three changes for Fürth
For the home side, Jan Siewert makes three changes compared to the 3-0 loss in the Franconian derby against Nuremberg. Jomaine Consbruch, Roberto Massimo and Dennis Srbeny start in place of the injured Julian Green, while Marco John and Noel Futkeu both drop to the bench.

Jan Siewert on facing Schalke
"We have an opponent that we need to play well against. That's the task now. We know that Schalke has a very good attack. It's also a matter of how we handle one-on-one situations, how we win the ball, in order to develop our game from there."

Ramadan: A special challenge for the stars
What Kees van Wonderen says
"We want to perform as best as possible in every match. The first goal is still to reach 40 points and secure our position from relegation. I expect everyone to give their all. We want to demonstrate this in the coming eight weeks. We want to improve ourselves."
Two former Cloverleaves now Miners
Tobias Mohr played his first 36 matches in the Bundesliga 2 for Fürth (five goals), Paul Seguin was promoted to the Bundesliga with Fürth in 2021 and relegated again the following year (ten goals in 77 second-tier matches and no goals in 27 Bundesliga matches for the Franconians).
Double Guarantee
Fürth have scored at least two goals in each of their five Bundesliga 2 encounters against Schalke. In the first leg match, the Cloverleaves won 4-3 away at the Royal Blues.
Bogey team
Schalke have only played as many Bundesliga 2 matches against Hamburg without winning. Their last competitive victory against Fürth came in 2012 under coach Huub Stevens in the Bundesliga, winning 2-0 at the Ronhof thanks to goals from Julian Draxler and Lewis Holtby.
Favourite opponent in the lower division
Greuther Fürth have never lost to Schalke in the Bundesliga 2 (three wins, two draws). The Cloverleaves are unbeaten against no other current Bundesliga 2 team.
