Full-time: Schalke 1-0 Fürth

Schalke take a thoroughly deserved win after firing as many as 25 shots throughout a dominant performance. Even though the hosts often lacked a cutting edge in front of goal, they bagged three points to jump to second place in the table overnight.

Porath's premiere

That is the midfielder's first goal for Schalke - he last scored in February for Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga.
77'

Finally, it's in!

Karaman is sent deep down the left flank and tests Boevink from a tight angle, who parries the ball out to the left. Porath chases in and acrobatically finds the far corner from a tight angle!

Goal probability
info-small
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.
5 %
Distance to Goal
info-small
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.

That could have been it!

Sylla appears in front of Boevnik on the left side of the penalty area, but once again the Fürth keeper saves, with the shot hit too centrally!

20 Schalke shots on goal so far

That is more than they have created in any other match this season - but clear-cut chances remain hard to come by.

Double substitution

Lasme and Porath come on for Schalke - will they make the difference in front of goal, as we enter the final phases?

Boevink down

The keeper lands awkwardly on the ground after an attempted clearance and requires treatment - but he can play on.
69'

Becker blasts just over

El-Faouzi wins the ball on the right side of the penalty area and immediately plays it through to Gantenbein, who crosses low from the byline into the box. The ball reaches Becker on the left, who has time to set up his shot, but then fires just over the bar!

Triple substitution

Green, Consbruch and Bjarnason are brought on to provide fresh impetus for Fürth.
59'

Schalke down the right

Gantenbein cannot be stopped and crosses from the byline in front of the goal, but Boevink punches it away before a Schalke striker can tap it in!
56'

Fürth threaten for first time

The first shot on goal from Fürth sees Hrgota take aim from the left outside the penalty area, but his effort is blocked.
55'

Karaman positioned well

Gantenbein crosses again from the right side to the six-yard box. This time Karaman rises high, but the header is too tame to trouble Boevink.
51'

Schalke come again

Gantenbein has some space on the right side and drills the ball across the goalmouth. The ball is cleared before it reaches Karaman.

Ayhan has a go

The shot from outside the box flies well over the bar.

The hosts were frustrated by resolute defending throughout the first half.

Half-time: Schalke 0-0 Fürth

There can be no complaints about the half-time scoreline. Schalke may be controlling the play, but they are yet to create any clear-cut chances. Fürth haven't settled at all and haven't had a single shot. Can the hosts get the reward for their dominance?

A corner for the visitors

A rare atacking moment for Fürth, but Karius plucks it easily out of the Gelsenkirchen evening sky.

Stoppage time

Three additional minutes are indicated.

Karaman!

As if he has had enough of the intricate passing, the captain takes aim from outside the box, but hits it too centrally and Boevink punches it away for a corner.
41'

Same routine

We have been stuck with the same flow of play for some time now - there's no threat from the visitors, Schalke try to keep possession for as long as possible and are creating occasional minor chances.
38'

Dagnerous ball

Gomis chases down the right and drills the ball across the goal. No Schalke player is there to tap it in.
34'

Three Schalke corners

Schalke deliver their third corner in quick succession, which Futkeu clears with a header. None of the three posed any real danger.
30'

El-Faouzi to Sylla!

A promising cross runs just a little too high for Sylla to reach it in a threatening position.

Ball Recovery Time

info-small
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).

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).
Fürth are yet to register any opportunties, but Schalke have worked their way to a few openings already.

Schalke searching

The hosts have had to be content with circulating the ball further back in the past few minutes as they patiently probe Fürth's defence, which has been solid so far.

Enforced early change

What misfortune for Becker! During a clearance, he collides with his team-mate, Schallenberg, and injures his knee, forcing him to leave the field.

Pair of chances

Gantenbein delivers a low cross from the left in front of the target, as Schalke continue to threaten. Sylla slides just past it, while Karaman's shot is blocked and goes behind for a corner.

Schalke eye top spot

Should Darmstadt fail to win against Dresden this evening, Schalke could climb to first place, at least overnight, with a home win.

Miron Muslić on facing Fürth

"The team are on a really good path. They are brimming with confidence, but also full of focus. We want to take the next step with a strong performance."

Get set for goals!

A total of 28 goals have been scored in the six encounters between the two teams in Bundesliga 2.

Back to the 1950s

Schalke's only home victory against Fürth came back in May 1951 - 74 years ago - when they triumphed 2-1 in the German championship finals under manager Fritz Szepan at the Glückauf-Kampfbahn.

Due a win

Schalke's last competitive victory over Fürth came 13 years ago, when they were still a Bundesliga side. Huub Stevens' charges triumphed 2-0 that day thanks to goals from Julian Draxler (pictured) and Lewis Holtby, with Thomas Kleine playing the full 90 minutes for Fürth.

Unbeaten record to defend

Greuther Fürth have never lost to Schalke in Bundesliga 2, winning three and drawing three of the teams' six previous encounters - their only unbeaten record against a current second-tier side.
