Wolfsburg midfielder Maximilian Arnold squandered his chance to open the scoring and take the lead by missing a penalty in the 8th minute of the first half.
Paulo Otávio had a great performance. The Wolfsburg defender was important for rejecting 4 dangerous balls.
Another player who had a great game was Marius Bülter. The Schalke 04 attacker shined kicking 3 times.
The game got dirty with fouls and the players put in more strong leg. There were a large number of cautions: Patrick Wimmer, Yannick Gerhardt, Rodrigo Zalazar, Mattias Svanberg, Thomas Reis and Josuha Guilavogui.
Schalke 04 manager Thomas Reis presented a 4-5-1 tactical setup with Ralf Fährmann in goal; Cédric Brunner, Maya Yoshida, Moritz Jenz and Jere Uronen on the defensive line; Alex Král, Tom Krauss, Soichiro Kozuki, Rodrigo Zalazar and Tim Skarke in the middle; and Michael Frey in attack.
For their part, Niko Kovac’s team came out with a 4-5-1 tactical arrangement with Koen Casteels under the three sticks; Ridle Baku, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Micky van de Ven and Paulo Otávio in defense; Maximilian Arnold, Yannick Gerhardt, Patrick Wimmer, Mattias Svanberg and Jakub Kaminski in midfield; and Jonas Wind up front.
Benjamin Brand was in charge of supervising the order of play during the match.
On the next day Schalke 04 will face Unión Berlin as a visitor, while Wolfsburg will play as a visitor against RB Leipzig.
In this way, the local is in eighteenth place in the championship with 12 points, while the visit, with 30, is in seventh place.
