HERRMANN WASTES A CHANCE
Wolf finds Herrmann and sends him into the Schalke box down the left. He races towards the near post and has options around him, but decides to go for goal. It's a wasted chance as he can only find the side-netting.

ALL GLADBACH NOW!
Embolo races into the Schalke box and dribbles past a defender before his effort is blocked. Plea is on the loose ball but his effort too is blocked, and Rönnow then gathers. Either way, it looks far more likely that Gladbach will extend their lead here than Schalke earning a comeback.

WHAT A FINISH FROM RAMAN!
A superb team goal from Schalke and it's a first in the Bundesliga for Raman since December 2019. Uth latches onto Thuram's sloppy pass and flicks the ball over the Gladbach defence for Raman to meet into the box and he sends the ball into the top corner with an outstanding volley.

TWO IN TWO FOR FLO!

NEUHAUS PUTS GLADBACH AHEAD!
A swift counter and Gladbach take the lead. Zakaria wins the ball from Uth and the ball goes forward to Plea, whose pass into the penalty area is superb for Embolo. His attempt is cleared to the edge and Neuhaus meets it first-time and five Schalke defenders can't keep it out as they scramble on the goalline, but the ball finds its way over the line.
