Dynamo miss too many chances and lose against Schalke

Keeper Karius prevents them from going behind

Both teams fought a battle of attrition in midfield. Despite good transition play, there was a lack of accuracy, especially in the final third. After a sharp cross from Kofi Amoako, Daferner (36) failed to beat Schalke keeper Karius from three meters. At the other end, Kenan Karaman (39) missed from the edge of the box.

After the changeover, Schalke took more initiative with Christopher Antwi-Adjei fresh on the pitch. However, there was a lack of creativity. After an hour, Stamm also brought new attacking impetus, bringing on Stefan Kutschke and Dominik Kother. For the visitors, it was often only shots from distance that posed a threat. As was the case with Bachmann (74'), Dynamo's Schreiber had no trouble with the ball.

Kutschke then headed Dynamo into the lead (77'), but the referees ruled it offside. The VAR official confirms the decision. At the other end, Amaoko fouls Schalke captain Karaman in the penalty area. The referee looks at it again on the screen and awards a penalty, which Karaman safely converts himself (84').
