Full-time: Schalke 3-4 Greuther Fürth
What a match at Schalke. Fürth deservedly prevail against the Royal Blues. The visitors were the more committed and better team from the start. After the sending-off and the 4-1 lead, the match should have been over. But S04 never give up and came close in stoppage time.

Kees van Wonderen's view on Fürth
"We've had another good week of preparation with the team. We're continuing on the right path and are taking the lessons learned from the last match with us. We've put a lot of energy and work into the defensive organisation of the team. We need to maintain that and now do it better. We need to find a balance to improve offensively while maintaining our defence. Offensively, we want to show our intent."
Haas' view on Schalke
"Things aren't running perfectly at Schalke, we know that. Nevertheless, the focus should be on the match that we can influence and on doing our things well. I believe this energy is a crucial factor for everyone, and I've absolutely seen it."
