Goooal! Brace for Sylla!
Schalke take the lead after Sylla concludes a pinball session in the Münster area. Frenkert's attempted clearance deflected heavily off the Mali international, looping unstoppably over the hapless Schenk and across the line.
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Action packed!
A total of 30 goals has been scored in Schalke's seven Bundesliga 2 matches so far this season - more than in matches featuring any other single team in the division.

Sharpshooter
Sylla has now scored five times this season, leaving him second only to Karlsruhe's six-goal striker Zivzivadze (six goals) on the Bundesliga 2 scorers chart.

Goal! Sylla equalises for Schalke!
Paetow cleared an initial Schalke attack, but the ball fell to Aydin, whose shot Schenk could only parry... into the path of Sylla, who had the net at his mercy as he made it 1-1.

Makridis on a roll
Makridis scored last time out as well, against Regensburg. After seven matchdays, he has now scored as many times as he did for Osnabrück in 24 appearances last season.
53'
Goal! Münster take the lead!
This time the finish was spot on: Makridis makes it 1-0! Paetow's cross saw Aydin attempt to clear but the ball came off Bulut... and fell perfectly to Makridis, who coolly slotted home from 10 metres out.

Strong play by Bulut
The youngster is pickpocketed by Németh in the middle pf the park, but he works hard to track back and wins possession once again.
47'
Over the bar!
The biggest chance of the match so far: Grodowski has plenty of time on the right flank and crosses into the box, where Makridis gets to the ball ahead of Heekeren. However, his header flies narrowly over the crossbar.

Half-time: Münster 0-0 Schalke
The match may still be goalless, but not for want of trying. Grodowski went closest to converting Münster's edge, but the linesman's flag kept the scores level - for now. Doubtless more end-to-end stuff to come in the second half!

Blocked!
The impressive Grodowski breaks through on the right wing and plays the ball back, where Kyerewaa gets a shot off from a good position. Kalas throws himself in the way and makes a strong clearance.
41'
That was close
Paetow's decisive defending initiates a Münster counter-attack. Grodowski drives the ball forward, and although his finish is unsuccessful, it almost becomes an inadvertent assist for Makridis, who misses the ball by a hair's breadth.

Things are tight
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Surprise inclusion in the squad
For Schalke, 32-year-old Tim Albutat is in the matchday squad for a second division match for the first time, despite usually playing for the reserve team. The defensive midfielder's last of 52 second-tier appearances was over five years ago, back in May 2019, for MSV Duisburg. The experienced player will start on the bench.
Youthful freshness
Eighteen-year-old Bulut is in Schalke's starting XI for the first time today, while 19-year-old Grüger is making his debut. Due to these two changes, the average age of the team has dropped from 28 (in the Darmstadt clash) to 25.7 years.
Schalke makes double substitution
Interim coach Jakob Fimpel makes only two changes to the starting lineup compared to the bitter defeat against Darmstadt: youngsters Bulut and Grüger start, while Kaminski and Antwi-Adjei move to the bench.
A substitution for Münster
Grodowski starts in place of the absent Amenyido. The 26-year-old was subbed on for the injured Amenyido after 13 minutes in the previous matchday against Regensburg and promptly scored to make it 1-0.
The Schalke starting eleven
Heekeren - Aydin, Kalas, Bulut, Murkin - Schallenberg, Grüger - Karaman, Younes, Mohr - Sylla
The Münster line-up
Schenk - Ter Horst, Paetow, Frenkert, Kirkeskov - Kyerewaa, Hendrix, Mees - Grodowski, Németh, Makridis
What Sascha Hildmann says
"The change of manager is a big surprise. I know Jakob Fimpel from the Regionalliga. But I don't know if he will do something completely new. We want to play with commitment and self-confidence and deliver a big fight."
The Referee Team
Referee: Dr. Robin Braun, Assistant Referee 1: Marc Philip Eckermann, Assistant Referee 2: Asmir Osmanagic, Fourth Official: Mitja Stegemann, VAR: Florian Lechner, VAR Assistant: Frederick Assmuth
This is what interim coach Jakob Fimpel says
"I've only been with this team for a short time. It's not so much about my own football, my own idea or my own conviction. I now see it as the most important thing to do what the lads can do, what they feel comfortable with."
Even record
In 1989/90, however, Münster won twice, which is why the record in the 2. Bundesliga is balanced (two wins for each club).
Known at Schalke
Before his move to Münster, Daniel Kyerewaa played for Schalke for three years, but only in the regional league team (from 2020 to 2023).
Long time ago
The last encounters took place in the 1990/91 Bundesliga 2 season, with Schalke winning both matches (3-1 at home, 3-0 away).
There from the start
Münster and Schalke were founding members of the Bundesliga back in 1963/64. Preußen were relegated immediately, but they remained unbeaten against Schalke (2-2 at home, 2-1 away).
