SCHLEUSENER! 2-1!
Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Porath down on the ground
The former Kiel player was caught on the head and needs treatment.

Stoppage time
Five minutes added on.

Opitz!
The substitute bursts through on the left and tries to find the far corner, but his shot dribbles just wide of the post.

Through high-end camera technology and machine learning, the speed of each player is evaluated in real time. Top speed then means, the fastest measured single frame of a player/game.
89'
Remmert!
After winning the ball high up the pitch, Remmert has a chance on the edge of the penalty area - but the ball bounces awkwardly for him and the chance goes to waste.
87'
Too late
Herold catches his opponent Porath in a challenge - another yellow card.
86'
Fresh legs
Muslic plays it safe and takes off the cautioned Becker. Donkor takes over on the left.

Substitution
84'
Another Yellow Card
This time, Karlsruhe counter-attacks, and Opitz sprints down the right into the opposition half. Becker fouls him and receives a yellow card. Schleusener also gets booked, as he wanted to see a red card for Becker. However, Opitz was moving towards the touchline and was far from being through on goal.
83'
The chance!
Schalke quickly counter-attack and send Karaman through on the left side. He wants to square it for Sylla in the penalty area, but Franke intervenes and clears in the nick of time.
81'
Great atmosphere
Both sets of fans are making a lot of noise and roaring their teams on.
79'
New Momentum
KSC now have the upper hand. Schalke are the team sitting in.
Beifus! Equaliser!

For dissent
Karius is not happy with the referee's decision before a corner for Karlsruhe and receives a booking.

Förster! Post!
The response from Karlsruhe comes from the left. Via a deflection, Förster gets the ball on the right side of the penalty area and smashes it against the right post! However, the flag goes up - the goal wouldn't have counted anyway.
68'
Expert Karaman
That was the fourth goal of the season for the Schalke captain, three of which he has scored from the penalty spot.

Eichner reacts
Second substitution for the hosts: The speedy Opitz replaces the ineffective Šimić.

Penalty for Schalke!
62'
Deflected
After a high diagonal ball, Šimić gets a shot away from the right side of the penalty area, but it's deflected and becomes an easy catch for Karius.
60'
Förster has a go
The midfielder's shot from the edge of the penalty area is blocked.
58'
Advantage KSC
Eichner's team are recovering the ball much quicker after losing possession than Schalke.
57'
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery 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).
56'
Tactical Treat
Schalke are very cleverly closing down spaces and passing lanes. It's highly effective defensively - but not exactly spectacular.
53'
Not enough
KSC can't get out of their own half. Beifus' long pass to the left wing lands in touch.
51'
Karlsruhe remain focused
The home side are shifting positions in a disciplined and concentrated manner, keeping the visitors well away from their own goal.
49'
Schalke continue to apply pressure
The visitors are still pressing high up the pitch, but haven't managed to create any shooting opportunities yet.
47'
Remarkable
That is the sixth consecutive league match in which Schalke have not conceded during the first half.
46'
Both make changes
Burnić tried to continue after his treatment just before the break, but he has now stayed in the dressing room and has been replaced by Franke. He slots into the defence, from which Rapp moves one position forward. For Schalke, Porath replaces Younes in a like-for-like substitution.
46'
We're back underway!
The second half is running.

Schleusener!
Big chance for the home side! Schleusener gets in behind and tries to beat Karius, but the keeper finally gets a chance to distinguish himself and does so - corner!

Clear Advantage
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Burnic down

Karaman!
38'
El-Faouzi working hard
The midfielder is working hard as usual and wins another corner on the right. It's taken by Younes and delivered precisely onto the head of Ayhan. The defender heads it towards the far corner, where Pinto Pedrosa clears it off the line.
35'
Blocked
Wanitzek is played free on the left side of the penalty area. He has a go, but his effort is blocked. As is the follow-up shot, meaning that Karius is yet to make a save.
31'
Schalke probing
The team from Baden are defending robustly, booting the ball into the stands when in doubt, but Schalke are looking threatening.

High pressing
Schalke are disrupting Karlsruhe's build-up play early and intensively, barely allowing the hosts out of their own half.
20'
Schleusener!
Förster lifts the ball into the penalty area to Schleusener, who chips it over Karius. A Schalke player clears it off the line - but Schleusener was offside anyway.

A short delay
Some objects are thrown towards Younes at the corner flag, which delays the set-piece. When Younes can finally proceed, Sylla wins a header in the centre, which is deflected over the bar. Schalke are clearly the better side now.
12'
Katić again!
Becker swings a free-kick from the left half-space into the penalty area and finds Katić once more, who powers a header onto the top of the net.
10'
Katić!
There's the first shot! Schalke's defensive rock gets a fairly free effort at goal after Younes's corner from the right, but he sends it well over the bar.
9'
Schalke livening up
The visitors don't manage to get a shot off after a free kick from the halfway line, but they establish themselves in the attacking third and win their first corner.
6'
Penalty?
Penalty or no penalty for KSC? Referee Max Burda initially blows for an offside before a Schalke challenge comes in, but VAR has a look to double-check. After a lengthy review, the initial offside decision is correct, and so any potential foul becomes irrelevant.
5'
SituationNo penalty

Rough start
Pinto Pedrosa makes a determined run down the right, but his advances are quickly stopped by a forceful challenge from Becker. Another free kick for KSC, who are settling into the match better.

Ayhan loses the ball against Schleusener, falls down, tugs at him while lying on the ground and gets booked for it.

Egloff out for longer period
Lilian Egloff suffered a muscle tear in the back of his left thigh during Tuesday evening's cup defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach. The attacking player will therefore be sidelined for several weeks.
Historic
In May 1955, Karlsruhe beat Schalke 3-2 in the final of the DFB Cup to lift the trophy for the first time.
