SCHALKE TAKE THE POINTS
The scoreline is a little harsh on Dresden, who were arguably the better team for most of the game. However, they weren't able to finish their chances, while Schalke were clinical with the ones they had as they climb to second in the table.

KEY PHASE
Neither side is giving the other an inch at the moment - and the result is a string of fouls and free-kicks in midfield. Dresden have the upper hand in terms of territory, but they're not having much joy at trying to get behind the Schalke defence.

SUPERB SAVE FROM FRAISL
Another Dynamo corner, but this time they almost make it count. The cross comes into the middle and Sohm gets his head on it, forcing Fraisl into a brilliant reflex save.

NO WAY THROUGH FOR DYNAMO

OVER FROM DAFERNER!
Dresden attempt to catch Schalke out with a long ball over the top from deep. Thiaw misjudges it, allowing Daferner to attempt a tricky first-time volley from the edge of the box. It's a nice idea, but the ball sails over the bar.
50'
MIKHAILOV GOES CLOSE
Schalke carve open the Dresden defence and Mikhailov suddenly finds himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper. e gets a shot away, but it's well saved by Broll.
47'
TERODDE SHOT SAVED
Good work from Bülter on the right and he cuts the ball back into the middle for Terodde, who shoots first time from 15 yards out. There's not a great deal of power behind it though, and Broll makes a routine save.
46'
AND WE’RE OFF AGAIN!
Dresden get the ball rolling at the VELTINS-Arena once more. They’ve made two substitutions during the break as they seek a way back into the game.

SCHALKE IN FRONT
It's been a hard-fought game so far, with plenty of thundering tackles in midfield. Clear-cut chances have been few and far between but the home side have their noses in front thanks to Ouwejan's goal.
Half-time
43'
STARK SHOOTS
Some quick feet from Stark on the edge of the Schalke area to get into a shooting position, but his left-footed drive lacks the power to beat Fraisl.
40'
TERODDE ALMOST IN!
A brilliant ball up the line from Ouwejan releases Bülter into space. He spies Terodde all by himself in the centre and tries to find him with a low pass into the middle, but he overhits it and forces Terodde wide, allowing Dresden to get back and cover.
31'
WIDE FROM SCHRÖTER!
Good footwork from the Dresden attacker as he turns and creates a pocket of space for himself to shoot, but he slices it slightly and the ball sails wide of the target.
20'
SCHALKE LEAD!
The visitors struggle to clear their lines following a Schalke throw-in, and Ouwejan charges down Stark as he attempts to clear, with the ball ricocheting off his foot and landing in the net!
19'
SALAZAR HITS THE POST!
Terodde lays the ball off to Salazar on the edge of the Dresden area and the midfielder immediately smacks a shot at goal. It beats the goalkeeper but hits the foot of the post and bounces clear!
15'
BÜLTER MUST SCORE - OVER!
Terodde plays a brilliant first-time pass forward, splitting two defenders and sending Bülter clean through. He rushes his shot a bit though, and blazes over the bar.

DRESDEN PRESSING HIGH
The away side have begun aggressively here and are camped out in Schalke's half, pinning them back near their own penalty area.
4'
SOLLBAUER TO THE RESCUE!
Bülter looked to be in as he chased a ball over the top into the box. He appeared for a second to be getting the better of Sollbauer, but the Dresden defender managed to get a toe on the ball to clear the danger.

HER WE GO!
The ball is rolling in Gelsenkirchen!
Kick-off!
RED-HOT SCHALKE
After struggling to click in the early part of the season, the Royal Blues have really hit their straps in recent weeks. They've won each of their last three Bundesliga 2 games, and haven't conceded a goal in the process. That's lifted them up to fourth, three points behind leaders St. Pauli.
RECORD FOR TERODDE TODAY?
The Schalke striker could become the division's all-time top scorer in this game, having equalled Dieter Schatzschneider's best-mark of 153 a couple of weeks ago.
