Goooal! This time for real!
Ache is allowed to celebrate this time. After a long ball up the pitch, the striker again has plenty of space in front of him and marches past Kamiński towards the Schalke goal. Ache picks his spot and makes no mistake, putting Lautern back in front.

Centimetres offside!
Ache scores beautifully for what would have been a 2-1 for Lautern, but he's marginally offside and so the goal is chalked off by VAR. It remains 1-1.

Clever from Yokota
The scorer of the only goal fools two opponents at the Schalke goal line and wins a corner, dropping to the deck asa result of his tireless efforts so far. But he's soon on his feet, hammering the cleared corner kick towards goal and only narrowly wide.

Ache squanders a chance
Now it's back and forth: After Schalke's big chance, Ache gets another shot in front of Heekeren, but blazes the ball well over the crossbar.

Huge chance for the equaliser!
What was that? A long ball to the edge of the box slips through and Krahl is also a bit late. The substitute Højlund nips in between and puts the ball just centimetres wide of the left post of the Lautern goal.

A good omen?
For the 13th time this season, Lautern are 1-0 up - so far this has resulted in 10 wins and two draws. A victory today would reignite the Red Devils' promotion ambitions.

Great chance for 2-0!

Half-time: Kaiserslautern 1-0 Schalke
Thanks to Yokota's goal, Kaiserslautern lead 1-0 against Schalke at the break. Redondo and Ache have been particularly dangerous in attack and they played their part in Yokota's goal. Schalke are defensively organised, but their own attacking play needs improvement.

Redondo storms forward on the left flank and is nicely played through. However, his chip over Murkin is a bit too far, making it easy for Heekeren to collect the ball.

Kick-off!

Coup d’envoi!
Ronstadt gets a chance
The most surprising personnel decision at Kaiserslautern is certainly the inclusion in the starting XI of Ronstadt. He last started in December, has only been on the pitch for three minutes in the second half of the season and recently hasn't even been making the matchday squad. But it's not that surprising after all: Ronstadt played under Lieberknecht at Darmstadt.
Lieberknecht makes changes
Lautern's new coach changes almost half the team, with five in total. Bauer is suspended, Gyamerah is not in the squad and the trio of Wekesser, Breithaupt and Robinson have to settle for the bench. New in the team are Elvedi, Ronstadt, Hanslik, Kaloc and Yokota.
Bachmann takes Karaman's place
The only change for Schalke from the draw against HSV is that Bachmann comes into the team for Karaman, who is suspended. Bachmann is familiar with the Betzenberg stadium, having played a total of 46 third-division matches for the Red Devils (two goals) between July 2019 and January 2021.

Heekeren - Bulut, Schallenberg, Kaminski, Murkin - Bachmann, Grüger - Mohr, Seguin, Aygin - Sylla

What Kees van Wonderen has said
"Kaiserslautern has a new coach, but the team with its qualities is still the same, we are well prepared for what awaits us there. We're looking forward to the atmosphere there and the clash with an opponent who will fight with everything they've got for third place. We're preparing for an intense match."
What Torsten Lieberknecht has said
"The focus is completely on us, even though we obviously take the opponent into account as well. But we're mainly looking at which details we can change about ourselves. Schalke is certainly not a pushover - but neither are we."
