WHAT A GAME!
We still have three minutes to play of injury time but what an incredible game this has been. Both sides have come from behind, but Mainz have crucially done it right at the end. This win would take them five points clear of Cologne, who will sit second-bottom in the table.

COLOGNE ON THE HUNT
It's a real midfield battle here at the end of this game, but the home side are doing most of the attacking work as they look for a winner. Mainz's defence is sitting deeper now and mopping up the long balls coming their way.

LOOKING FOR A WINNER
Mainz had a good response following Onisiwo's equaliser but now it's Cologne on the front foot once again, and going forward in search of what would be a vital winner at the end here.

ANOTHER TWIST!
We still have over 20 minutes to play here in Cologne and this huge game at the bottom of the table is taking every twist and turn.
65'
ONISIWO ON THE BREAK!
Mainz are level again and it comes against the run of play. Mwene sends Boetius in down the left and he adds to his earlier goal with a supreme assist, finding Onisiwo at the back post with a low cross which is slid home by the German forward. We have a game on our hands, people!

SKHIRI WITH THE GOAL!
That had been coming and Cologne are deservedly in front midway through the second half. It's a free-kick from Hector which curls into the area and just goes beyond Czichos on the stretch, but Skhiri is all alone at the back post to head home, with Zentner only able to deflect it into his own goal.

WOLF OFF THE BAR!
What a chance for Cologne to take the lead and what a reaction save from Zentner. It's Duda who crosses to the near post from the right and Wolf meets it on the run, glancing the ball at goal. Zentner is there to push the ball up and onto his crossbar and out. A big moment there!

The Mainz forward has stayed down after a heavy challenge in the air with Mere while attempting to get onto Mwene's cross. He is going to have to come off here with the injury looking serious.

The substitutes combine down the left as Horn slides in a pass for Jakobs to chase into the Mainz area, but Zentner is off his line quickly. The substitutions mean Kainz has swapped to the right wing and Wolf has moved back to right-back.

BIG CHANCE FOR BARREIRO!
Mwene's cross from the left wing takes a deflection on the way into the Cologne area and diverts the ball away from Horn and into Barreiro's path in front of goal. He gets to it first, but Horn is off his line quickly to block the shot away from close range.
43'
DUDA LEVELS IT UP!
Duda with his fifth goal of the season as he squeezes home his spot-kick. Zentner went the right way and got a hand to the penalty as well, but it wasn't enough to keep the ball from finding the bottom corner. A crucial goal for Cologne just before the break!

ANDERSSON AGAIN!
It really should be 1-1 here at the very least, as Andersson latches onto a long ball again - this time from Kainz on the left. His control is perfect on his chest but he waits to pull the trigger with his shot. Niakhate makes a challenge but Andersson does still get a shot away, only to see it dart wide past the Mainz goal. Two big chances there in the matter of a minute.
19'
BIG CHANCE FOR ANDERSSON!
A long ball forward from Mere finds Andersson on the wrong side of St. Juste, and he turns well onto his right foot before firing a shot at goal. The ball drags just wide bouncing beyond Zentner. Cologne fans will be buzzing to see the Swede back and starting again.

MAINZ'S REMARKABLE TURNAROUND
On Matchday 20, Mainz sat eight points behind Cologne at the bottom of the table. Seven games later, they have a two-point advantage and with this lead, would go five points clear of the Billy Goats.
11'
BOETIUS FIRES MAINZ AHEAD!
The first shot on goal of the game for Mainz and it's the opening goal. The away side fly forward after winning the ball back in the Cologne have and it's Barreiro who slides the ball across the area for Boetius, who side-foots the ball in off the crossbar past Horn from the edge of the penalty area. A fantastic finish for his 1st goal of the season!

ON THE FRONT-FOOT...
Augsburg certainly look likeliest to score next in this game if we are to see another goal. Although Hahn - who is leading the line in attack - has been kept very quiet.
57'
NOW FOR RICHTER!
Two in the space of a minute for Augsburg as Framberger beats Oczipka to the ball in the Schalke area before crossing to the back post. Richter is racing to meet it all alone and slides in to surely level the scores, but he instead sends the ball flying over the crossbar from close range. A head-in-hands moment for the Augsburg forward.
56'
BIG CHANCE FOR VARGAS!
Nearly a gift for Augsburg to get level as Stambouli leaps up to block a cross with his right foot, but he can't control it well enough and the ball runs loose for Vargas at the near post. He gets a shot away, but Föhrmann is equal to it with the help of his post.
55'
SERDAR HAS A GO
A strike from the edge of the box deflects off Uduokhai and out for a corner from Serdar. Schalke starting this second half with the same mindset shown in the first.
52'
LACKING THE FINAL BALL
Good interplay from Augsburg sees Caligiuri find Vargas in space 25 yards from goal. He doesn't know whether to shoot or cross with players in support and in the end his ball into the Schalke area goes between his teammates and out for a goal kick. Augsburg looking to be a lot more clinical from here on out.

SHOWING DESIRE AGAIN
Schalke have a corner which is cleared by Augsburg, and Richter searches for Hahn with a long ball on the counter - but there are four or five Schalke players racing back to snuff out the attack as quickly as possible.

SERDAR JUST WIDE!
A big chance for a second goal for Serdar as Schalke break forward. Becker and Harit combine down the right and it's Harit who cuts the ball back in front of goal from the byline. Serdar side-foots a shot first-time, but it slides a couple of yards wide of the Augsburg near post.

HUGE CHANCE FOR RICHTER!
Augsburg break after a slip from Thiaw, who then slides the ball to Vargas as he looked for a teammate. Vargas sprinted on and slid Richter in on goal with only Fährmann to beat, but his strike was straight at Fährmann and forced the first save of the day from the Schalke No.1.

The away side are coming into the game more and more here, keeping the ball with Schalke's press slowing down. But still, no clear-cut chances have come the way of Fährmann in the Schalke goal.

A first goal of the season in the Bundesliga on his 24th birthday. The only thing that could make his special day any better would be three points staying at the Veltins-Arena. So far, so good...

AUGSBURG'S SLOW START
The away side have not been able to get going at all in these opening 15 minutes. Schalke's defence looks comfortable on the ball, while the Royal Blues' attack is harrying the Augsburg defence when they have the ball. We've seen few touches of the ball for Augsburg going forward.

HOPE FOR THE ROYAL BLUES?
Schalke are 12 games without a win in the Bundesliga, while they have failed to score in their past five home games - a sixth home match without scoring would set a new club record. However, the Royal Blues' record against Augsburg is their best against any current Bundesliga side: losing just twice in 19 meetings so far.

WHAT'S AT STAKE FOR AUGSBURG?
Augsburg aren’t mathematically safe but will feel confident enough to be planning for an 11th season of Bundesliga football in 2021/22. The Bavarians currently sit 11th with a seven-point cushion over the play-off spot. It’s also seven to the top half of the table. They may not mind if they remain in no-man’s-land for the remaining seven matchdays.
WHAT'S AT STAKE FOR SCHALKE?
Schalke’s top-flight membership looks to be coming ever closer to its expiration date. The Royal Blues remain 13 points adrift at the bottom – and that’s only to Cologne in 17th, not even safety. It’s 15 points to Mainz in the play-off spot and 16 to Bielefeld in the first survival position. Cologne and Mainz face each other later today, meaning Schalke have a real opportunity to make up some ground, but only if they can pick up just a second league win of this season.

36'
ALL DORTMUND
The away side are well on top here, but just can't seem to find a way through the Stuttgart defence to get a clear-cut chance on goal. Reyna and Reus are looking the most likely to make it happen but so far, Stuttgart have kept Haaland and co. at bay.
34'
BIG CHANCE FOR REUS!
A lovely ball over the top from Hummels meets Reus' run in behind, cutting in from the left wing. He controls it and beats a man before going to shoot, but he doesn't get anywhere near the connection he'd be hoping for on his shot and it's a simple one for Kobel to hold onto.

SOSA ASSIST, KALAJDZIC GOAL!
It's what we've come to expect from Stuttgart as the hosts work the ball wide to Sosa on the left.

The 17-year-old is playing in a more advanced midfield role, with Delaney and Dahoud sitting deeper behind him. He's been getting involved in the link-up play which has seen BVB have most of the attacking looks here.

REUS SHOT BLOCKED
The ball breaks for Reus to run at the Stuttgart defence from 30 yards out, and he has a bit of time and space to pick a spot. As he winds it up, Anton comes forward and blocks his effort. The first real threat towards either goal we've seen in what has been an open game to start.

ON TOP EARLY ON
Dortmund have had almost complete control of possession in the opening stages, with a corner coming to nothing for the visitors. But Reus and Reyna are looking to support Haaland in attack who is already getting to know the Stuttgart defence.

HERE WE GO!
The ball is rolling in Stuttgart for our late game in the Bundesliga today...
Kick-off!
KICK-OFF COMING UP!
We're just a few minutes away from getting things underway in Stuttgart for this key game for both sides looking to get themselves into European places before it's too late.
GOAL MACHINES COLLIDE
Bundesliga fans will know the goal-scoring quality of Erling Haaland, but what of Sasa Kalajdzic on the other side? The Austrian international has scored eight of his last 13 Bundesliga goals at home for the promoted side and will be looking to get on the scoresheet again this evening.
STORY OF THE DAY SO FAR
With Frankfurt beating Wolfsburg, Dortmund now sit 10 points off the Champions League places ahead of kick-off this evening. Defeat tonight may put qualification for next season's competition beyond them with just six games to play. A win for Stuttgart would take the home side up to seventh, and just one point off BVB with Union and Gladbach each earning a draw ahead of them.

Reus and Reyna provide support for Haaland to begin with, hoping to help him add to an incredible 21 goals in 22 Bundesliga appearances this season. England winger Sancho misses another game through injury as Dortmund set out to avenge their 5-1 home defeat against Stuttgart in December.

UNION LEVEL THROUGH INGVARTSEN!
The visitors have been on the back foot all half but have a late, late goal to bring us level here. It's a quality throw-in from Teuchert down the left which meets Andrich's run in behind. He then cuts the ball across goal and Ingvartsen beats Stanisic to the ball in front of goal.

MAGIC FROM MUSIALA!
It's Jamal Musiala whose twinkle toes have put Bayern ahead, and it's another assist for Müller. A cross from Pavard isn't dealt with and the ball comes to Müller who gets some luck after a touch from Friedrich to find Musiala. The Germany international turns past Knoche with a superb touch before slotting the ball home.
