DFB Cup today: Hallescher FC - FC Schalke 04 | 2026/27 Season | DFB Cup

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 19:49:10 GMT

Half-time: Hallescher 1-0 Schalke The hosts lead at the break. The half-time score does not truly reflect the run of play, but as everyone knows, the cup has its own rules! This promises to be an exciting second half. We'll be back shortly.

The underdogs lead! Kastull turns the game on its head! Schalke fail to clear a corner, and following a bit of pinball, Kastull hammers the ball in from the right side of the penalty area into the left corner. The Regionalliga side shock the Bundesliga club!

⚽ 45' Vin Kastull (1-0)

Still time before the break? The pressure from Schalke is mounting, but the Hallescher defence continues to hold firm.

That should be the opener! On the right flank, Schalke break through via Ljubičić, who plays the ball across perfectly and Sylla really only needs to tap it in, but Bendel stretches himself full length and manages to claw the attempt off the line from close range!

Schalke dominant The Bundesliga side are setting the tone here as expected, but are not yet purposeful enough in the final third. Hallescher are putting in a shift and have managed to keep a clean sheet so far.

Off the crossbar! Kuruçay dribbles forward and lays it off to the left for the younger Becker, who crosses first time. However, he doesn't connect cleanly, sending the ball looping dangerously towards the far post, and it bounces back off the crossbar!

Intense duels The Schalke captain in action.

That was close Aouchiche cuts in from the left and fires low towards the near post, but Bendel is ready and makes a good save.

So close! Halle are awarded a free kick roughly 30 yards out, following a foul by Becker, which was punished with a yellow card. Hartmann curls the ball over the wall and misses the goal to the left by only a few centimetres. The ball then bounces off the advertising hoarding and against the net, causing half the stadium to think a goal has been scored. Even the goal anthem plays briefly, before everyone realises that play continues with a goal kick.

High press from Schalke S04 are playing an attacking press as expected, winning the ball from the regional league side on one or two occasions in their own half.

First attempt by Sylla The striker receives a through ball in stride and gets a shot off, but aims too centrally and straight into the arms of Bendel.

Kick-off! Schalke in blue kicks off, Halle play in red.

The referee team Matthias Jöllenbeck (referee), Dominik Schaal (assistant referee 1), Jonas Weickenmeier (assistant referee 2), Richard Hempel (4th official)

Schalke team news Schalke make one change from the side that played against Real Madrid as Junior Dina Ebimbe starts in place of Junior Adamu. Star signing Robin Gosens, having recovered from his injury, is on the bench.

DFB Cup today: VSG Altglienicke - VfL Wolfsburg | 2026/27 Season | DFB Cup

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 18:50:53 GMT

Full-time: Altglienicke 3-3 Wolfsburg (aet, Wolfsburg win 6-5 on pens.) The penalty shootout is just as mad as the match itself! Ibrahimi, who had scored in extra time, misses the seventh penalty. So Fischer, as the last taker, steps up to convert the winning spot-kick which sends his Wolfsburg side into the next round. It's heartbreak for the hosts but huge relief for the Bundesliga 2 side. What a thriller!

⚽ 120+2' Kilian Fischer (P) (8-9)

⚽ 120+2' Elvis Rexhbecaj (P) (8-8)

⚽ 120+2' Nikos Zografakis (P) (8-7)

⚽ 120+2' Maximilian Arnold (P) (6-6)

⚽ 120+2' Philip Türpitz (P) (6-5)

⚽ 120+2' Muhammed Damar (P) (5-5)

⚽ 120+2' Noah Kardam (P) (5-4)

⚽ 120+2' Hauke Wahl (P) (4-4)

⚽ 120+2' Emeka Oduah (P) (4-3)

Full-time: Altglienicke 3-3 Wolfsburg After a breathtaking 120 minutes of football, the contest remains undecided, and so a penalty shootout will decide which of these sides will progress to the second round of the cup!

Wolfsburg equalise again! Do not take your eyes off this one! After a corner from the right side, Reese cuts the ball back sharply on the left side of the penalty area and Wahl gets his knee to it in the six-yard box to bring Wolfsburg level for the third time this evening!

⚽ 117' Hauke Wahl (3-3)

Can Wolfsburg respond once more? It is getting very tight now for the Wolves. They are throwing everything forward now and are trying to force their way through.

Unbelievable! Altglienicke back in front! Of all people, Arnold, as the last man, makes a massive blunder, allowing Ibrahimi to run through on goal and coolly slot the ball low into the right corner! Altglienicke lead in extra time here!

⚽ 109' Mehmet Ibrahimi (3-2)

We're back underway The final 15 minutes are underway. Will we see another goal, or is this tie destined for a penalty shootout?

Half-time: Altglienicke 2-2 Wolfsburg The players can take a brief breather - particularly those from Altglienicke, who are looking quite fatigued by now.

Off target Damar shoots from the left flank, sending the ball flying wide of the near post.

Double substitution Czyborra and Rieder have run out of steam. Türpitz and Ibrahimi are brought on to inject some fresh energy into the match.

Some relief Kardam receives the ball in the Wolfsburg half and is able to make up ground. The substitute then finds himself under pressure from several opponents and fails to pick out Oduah, who is free in the centre. As such, Wolfsburg are able to clear.

Not far away Once again it is Damar who creates a real threat here! He is played in through the centre and shoots first time, but his low drive flies just narrowly wide of the left post!

No danger Besio tries his luck from distance, absolutely no problem for Zwick.

Reese has a go The attacking player looks for Shiogai in the centre, but he is well marked.

Extra time is underway Wolfsburg immediately look to keep possession in the opposition's half.

We're going to extra time! Wolfsburg tried everything in the final minutes, but couldn't manage to score a winner. There will be 30 minutes of extra time in Berlin.

That was close! Muhammed Damar has plenty of space in the penalty area and shoots, but Zwick makes a strong save and is also there to stop the follow-up shot! There are four minutes of stoppage time indicated.

The clock is ticking It looks like extra time is on the cards...

Arnold levels again! The captain equalises once more for Wolfsburg! Just to the right of the penalty area, Wolfsburg are awarded a free kick and the midfielder curls it perfectly over the wall! The ball finds the back of the net on the right side.

⚽ 83' Maximilian Arnold (2-2)

Composed finish Saliger capitalised on Zielinski's mistake to restore the underdogs' lead.

Altglienicke doing well The hosts are currently keeping possession in the attacking third and are not sitting deep. Wolfsburg are running out of time!

The upset is back on! The underdogs are back in front! Zielinski plays a terrible misplaced pass and sets up Saliger, who keeps his nerve and rounds the goalkeeper. He then calmly slots it home to make it 2-1 for the fourth-tier side!

⚽ 71' Jonas Saliger (2-1)

The hosts attack again! Czyborra makes a good run down the left side of the penalty area and gets a shot away, but Zielinski is able to make the save.

Wolfsburg aiming to go in front The Wolves are combining around the penalty area and looking for a gap. Altglienicke defend it well, though.

Goalscorer leaves the field The experienced Nietfeld leaves the pitch, and Zografakis is brought on to provide fresh impetus to the hosts.

The equaliser Bernhardsson plays in Arnold, who has just come on as a substitute, to the left of the penalty area. He shifts the ball onto his left boot and finds the bottom-left corner with a beautiful curling effort.

⚽ 55' Maximilian Arnold (1-1)

Shiogai shoots With his back to goal, Shiogai receives the ball and turns well past his opponent. The Wolfsburg player has little space, however, and can only squeeze a shot off while going to ground. That's no problem for Zwick.

Wolfsburg on the ball The hosts are dropping deep and looking to hold onto their slender lead.

The second half is underway Wolfsburg have made three substitutions at half-time. Arnold, Kumbedi and Rexhbecaj have been tasked with helping to turn the game around.

Half-time: Altglienicke 1-0 Wolfsburg Wolfsburg have it all to do in the second half if they want to avert an upset. The hosts burst out of the blocks into an early lead and although the Bundesliga 2 side dominated as the first period went on, Zwick has pulled off several good saves to deny them.

Great save again! Joakim Mæhle shoots from distance, but Zwick makes another good save and turns the ball behind.

Too central Reese tries his luck from distance, but hits it straight at Zwick.

Zwick saves the hosts again! After a cross from Reese from the left flank, Bernhardsson meets the ball with a header at the right edge of the six-yard box, but the goalkeeper is there once again to deny him.

Hosts looking comfortable Wolfsburg are struggling to combine their way into the penalty area.

Brilliant save! Wolfsburg win the ball back with a high press and Reese shoots just outside the penalty area. The ball would have gone into the top right corner, but Zwick gets across well and manages to claw it away.

Good chance for a second! The hosts deliver a cross from the right flank into the penalty area, where Kebe gets his head to it. The header goes just narrowly wide of the right post.

The hosts deserve their lead The visitors are struggling to get into good shooting positions.

Tough start for Wolfsburg The hosts are pressing intently and making life difficult for the Bundesliga 2 side.

Good save A fine effort from Muhammed Damar, but Zwick is there and makes the save.

First chance for Wolfsburg After a cross, Shiogai has plenty of space, but heads the ball straight into the arms of Zwick.

The underdogs are in front! A brilliant move from the regional league side! From the left flank, Czyborra plays the ball low into the centre, where Nietfeld taps in from close range to give the hosts the lead.

⚽ 6' Jonas Nietfeld (1-0)

Good chance for Altglienicke! The hosts counter through Oduah, who sets up Nietfeld. He fails to convert with his shot, which is too central, as Zielinski saves.

The match is underway Wolfsburg immediately look to push forward, but Reese's cross doesn't find its target.

The teams are on the pitch Kick-off is imminent.

More on that Wolfsburg team After the 1-0 win in Hannover, Rexhbecaj, Kumbedi, Gerhardt and Hornby have been rotated out. Coming in are Adjetey, Fischer, Bernhardsson and Shiogai.
