Schalke run down the clock

The Royal Blues held their nerve in added time to claim a narrow win.

Schalke triumph!

Kutschke overhits a late cross into the Schalke area and there goes the final whistle! Schalke claim a hard-fought victory thanks to Karaman's late penalty - a win they just about deserve based on the balance of play. Dresden started brightly and forced Karius into several fine saves, but the home side faded after the interval.

Can Dynamo respond?

Dresden have had more possession since conceding, but Schalke appear to be holding on relatively comfortably.

Reliable from the spot

Karaman has his first goal of the season - and his first since March. He converted five of his six penalties last season. He was never going to miss that one, was he?

No mistake!

Karaman dusts himself down and slots the penalty into the left corner, sending Schreiber the wrong way.

GOAL!

Penalty

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.

77 %

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.

11 m

Penalty given!

Karaman wriggles his way past several Dresden players but is brought down by Amoako inside the area. After reviewing the incident on his pitch-side monitor, Hartmann gives the spot-kick!

Kutschke goal ruled out!

Lemmer darts towards the byline and lifts a cross into the centre. Kutschke comes charging in and nods the ball into the back of the net - but Lemmer had started his run a split second too early. The goal won't count.

Bachmann departs

That was Bachmann's last involvement this afternoon as he leaves the field for Grüger.

Schreiber denies Bachmann

That's better better! Bachmann lets fly and forces Schreiber into a fine save. There was plenty of power behind the shot but not quite enough accuracy to trouble the Dresden keeper.

75'

Yellow card

Felipe Sánchez

73'

Too cerebral?

The majority of action continues to take place in the middle of the pitch. Like Šapina a few moments ago, Antwi-Adjei has a chance to test the goalkeeper but opts not to shoot and is eventually robbed of the ball.

The striker scored the winning goal against Bochum last time out. Can he have a similar impact today?

Schalke improving

The visitors have been quicker to the second balls since the restart, but clear-cut opportunities remain few and far between.

Defences on top

Around two-thirds of the sides' attempted crosses have failed to find a team-mate, while Schalke have also caught their opponents offside on several occasions.

59'

Oehmichen offside

Šapina does brilliantly to pick out Oehmichen, who fails to find Daferner in the area. Oehmichen was offside anyway, but he'll be disappointed with his end product there.

58'

Not way through

The chances are racking up for Schalke, but it remains goalless with just over half an hour left to play.

Another attempt

A decent spell of Schalke pressure, this. The hosts can only clear as far as Sánchez, whose shot from just outside the area flies straight at Schreiber.

52'

Porath goes close!

The midfielder's powerful drive from a tight angle is deflected behind for another corner. Yet again, though, Schalke are unable to make the most of the set play.

50'

Ambitious from Oehmichen

Lemmer races on to a long ball over the top of the Schalke defence and feeds Oehmichen in the middle. The winger's attempted back-heel deflects off a Schalke defender and out for a corner, which comes to nothing.

49'

No takers

Bachmann works his way to the byline but his low cross is bread and butter for Dresden goalkeeper Schreiber.

47'

More confident in possession

Schalke have been pinging the ball around confidently since the restart, albeit without troubling the Dresden rearguard. Promising start from the visitors, though.

46'

Back under way

Schalke have made a double change at the interval, with Antwi-Adjei and Sánchez entering the fray. Dynamo are unchanged.

Kick-off!

0:31

Bachmann shows finesse

Half-time in Dresden

No shortage of effort from either side, but there has been a lack of cutting edge in the final third. Daferner has been particularly lively but Karius has been equal to everything the striker and his team-mates have thrown at him.

On the turn from Daferner

Another save from Karius, albeit a more comfortable one. Daferner plucks the ball out of the air and gets his shot away, but it's straight at the veteran stopper.

39'

Over the bar

A flowing Schalke move ends with Karaman letting fly from distance, but it's not troubling Schreiber in the Dresden goal.

37'

Daferner again!

And this time it's not offside! Amoako swings a low ball across the face of goal, but Daferner is denied by Karius yet again! Fine goalkeeping by the former Liverpool and Newcastle man.

35'

Not much goalmouth action

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).

With nearly 40 minutes gone, neither goalkeeper has had a great deal to do so far.

Karius in the right place

Not for the first time this afternoon, Oehmichen is sent racing down the left but his cross sails straight into the arms of Schalke keeper Karius.

Schreiber denies Becker

Vitalie Becker goes for goal from a free-kick just outside the box, but the Dresden goalkeeper gets a strong hand to the ball and parries it wide of the left post. Katić gets on the end of the resulting corner but can't direct his effort on target.

27'

Combative visitors

Schalke have won almost 60 percent of their duels, with Schallenberg even boasting a 100 percent success rate.

Schalke pressing higher

The visitors have been a little sharper in the tackle in the last few moments. They were camped inside their own half early on but seem to be growing in confidence as we approach the half-hour mark.

23'

Even stevens

After two early opportunities for Dresden, Schalke have worked their way into the game. There's nothing to separate the teams in the possession stakes, with both sides enjoying 50 percent of the ball.

20'

Crowded out

Amoako tries to find space for the shot on the edge of the box but is crowded out by the Schalke defence. Could he have let fly a little earlier there?

17'

Offside

Oehmichen chases a long ball in behind the Schalke rearguard but he was offside when the ball was played. Good defending by the visitors.

13'

Infringement in the area

Schalke win their first corner but the referee awards Dresden a free-kick for a foul inside the box. Katić's header was heading wide anyway.

11'

Daferner involved again

Hauptmann does well to control Faber's pass and sends a first-time cross into the penalty area towards Daferner, but the striker's attempt is far too central and Karius makes an easy save.

Good defending

Højlund tries to thread a ball through to Karaman but overhits his pass, giving Dresden the opportunity to regroup.

Visitors yet to settle

The majority of Schalke's early attacks have come down the left, but their passing hasn't been accurate enough so far.

Bright start by Dresden

Hauptmann's foray down the right flank is ended by Bachmann, but Dresden have made very lively start. Schalke are struggling to gain a foothold in the early stages.

Porath cautioned

The midfielder catches Risch on the foot and picks up the game's first yellow card.

Finn Porath

0:26

Early chance!

Lemmer's cross from the right is met first-time by Daferner, but Karius manages to scramble across his line and parry the ball wide of the post.

Off we go!

Schalke get the first half under way in Dresden.

Kick-off!

Last-minute alteration

There's a last-minute change for Dynamo as Fröling has picked up an injury in the warm-up. Oehmichen is drafted into the starting XI.

Many happy returns

Schalke defender Hasan Kuruçay turns 28 today. He'll be hoping to mark the occasion with another victory for the Royal Blues, who have won two of their opening three Bundesliga 2 encounters this season.

Three changes for Royal Blues

The visitors make three alterations as Bachmann, Højlund and Porath come in for Gantenbein, Antwi-Adjei and Sylla, who is not in Schalke's matchday squad in Dresden.

Daferner returns

Dresden make only one change to the side that beat Arminia Bielefeld last time out, with fit-again Christoph Daferner replacing Dominik Kother. Nils Fröling, who played up front in Bielefeld, starts out on the left this afternoon.

Starting line-up: SG Dynamo Dresden

Starting line-up: FC Schalke 04

What Thomas Stamm says

"We're facing a team that has certain ambitions in Bundesliga 2. The manager exemplifies this on the touchline. However, especially at home, we don't want to hide, we want to match their level of intensity and approach the match courageously."

Reinforcement from the Bundesliga

Dynamo Dresden has secured the services of centre-back Julian Pauli. The 20-year-old joins on loan from Cologne.

What Miron Muslić says

"The Bochum match showed us that we are on the right track. We also want to impose our game on Dresden. The opponent has started well despite the results - with the most possession, the most runs, the most shots on goal."

Sylla holds talks to clarify his future

Schalke are currently planning without their goalscorer Moussa Sylla. After calling in sick, there have been talks to clarify his future.

Watch: Top 5 goals from Matchday 3

Most recent triumph

That cup shock 11 years ago against a Schalke team including Boateng, Choupo-Moting, Draxler and Huntelaar was also Dresden's last victory in this fixture. They lost both matches in Bundesliga 2 in 2021/22 (2-1 and 3-0).

Fortress Dresden

That victory was an exception, as Dynamo have won all other five home matches against the Royal Blues, once even as a third division team in the DFB Cup against a Schalke side competing in the Champions League (2-1 on 18 August 2014).

Terodde to the rescue

Dresden and Schalke last met on 1 April 2022, when the Royal Blues secured a 2-1 victory against the Black and Yellows thanks to Simon Terodde's brace.
