Full-time: Schalke 2-0 Jahn Regensburg
Schalke deservedly win against harmless Regensburg in a battle at the bottom. The Royal Blues were superior in all aspects and could have won by an even larger margin. After the Bundesliga 2's Matchday 12, Regensburg continue to prop up the table.

Another attempt
Regensburg advances courtesy of Ouro-Tagba, who then plays the ball in behind for Viet to shoot. His attempt is then blocked by Schallenberg.

Too passive
Jahn have shown little initiative in the second half, much like the first. They seem almost exclusively occupied with defending.

Half-time: Schalke 1-0 Jahn Regensburg
Schalke deservedly lead after 45 minutes and are putting in a solid home performance. The visitors, meanwhile, have been a bit too passive. With the score still only 1-0, the match remains wide open.

Regensburg change in style
After conceding, Regensburg have abandoned their very defensive approach and are now pressing Schalke earlier. In the last few minutes, they have also seen much more of the ball.

Pröger blocked
Regensburg's right winger has a chance to shoot from just outside the penalty area and takes aim. Murkin though, blocks it for a corner, which doesn't come to much.

What a great strike! Mohr plays the ball into the centre, where Karaman receives the ball and shoots on the turn from an extremely tight angle. His attempt goes in via the post. Schalke have lift-off!

Schalke more tenacious
Early on, Schalke have been significantly quicker in regaining back possession. While they are winning the ball back every five seconds on average, Regensburg currently needs about five times as long!

Regensburg win the ball and, before long, Ganaus is sent through. His powerful low shot, though, whistles just past the post!

Nice burst of speed
Murkin dribbles down the left and drives into the penalty area. However, an attempted one-two with Mohr doesn't work out and he loses possession.

First sign of danger
Sylla slips in the onrushing Mohr, who seemingly has a clear path to goal. However, he loses a bit of pace and is then caught by Breunig as the ball is cleared for a corner. There was more potential in that!

Kick-off!
Schalke kick off and are playing in their familiar blue home shirts with white shorts. Regensburg, meanwhile, are in red.

Kees van Wonderen on Jahn
"We expect an organised team and that we will have more possession. We need to play with pace and get in behind Regensburg's defensive line."
Andreas Patz on Schalke
"Joy and enthusiasm play a big role when you get to play at Schalke in their stadium and in front of that crowd; it's something special. Nevertheless, we're not going there as tourists. We want to take something from the match. The focus is on us, on what we want to do and on being well-prepared for the game."
Seguin's form vs. Jahn
Paul Seguin played six times in Bundesliga 2 against Regensburg and won all six matches. One of them with Dynamo Dresden and five with Greuther Fürth.
Cup excitement
Apart from the aforementioned Bundesliga 2 games, there were also a couple of DFB Cup matches between Regensburg and Schalke. In the first round in 1954, the clubs initially drew 1-1, with Schalke winning the replay 6-4 (on 1 September 1954) after leading 3-0 and then trailing 3-4.
What's rare is wonderful
Schalke and Regensburg only previously faced each other in the league in the 2021/22 season. In their Bundesliga 2 fixtures back then, both matches resulted in home wins (4-1 for Jahn, 2-1 for Schalke).
