Strong individual action

El Hankouri gets the ball on the left side and immediately takes on three opponents in the penalty area. Incredibly, the Dutchman also gets a shot away - and Heekeren just manages to get an arm to the ball.

Karaman!

Cheeky one

Equalizer!

The goal comes a bit out of nowhere, although not undeserved. Murkin fails to clear the ball twice after a cross from the right side. The second pass lands at Amaechi's feet, who immediately plays it into the center. Mathisen is there to slot home the equalizer.

Four changes for Schalke

Karel Geraerts makes four changes after the Cup success in Aalen. New signing Ilyes Hamache makes his debut. Back in the starting eleven are also keeper Heekeren as well as Cissé and Seguin, therefore Hoffmann, Bulut and Wasinski have to go back to the bench and Schallenberg has to serve his yellow-red suspension.

Two changes for FCM

After the Cup exit in Offenbach, Christian Titz changes his team in two positions. Instead of Burcu and Teixeira, who are missing from the squad, Krempicki and Amaechi start for the first time this season.

Schalke starting XI

Heekeren - Aydin, Sanchez, Cissé, Murkin - Seguin, Bachmann, Hamache, Karaman, T. Mohr - Sylla

Magdeburg starting XI

Reimann - El Hankouri, Hugonet, Heber, L. Musonda - Mathisen, Gnaka, Krempicki, Amaechi, El-Zein - Kaars
