Thanks to Keke Topp, Schalke 04 scored a point in the 2nd Bundesliga relegation battle, but missed the breakthrough. The relegated Bundesliga side drew 1-1 (0-1) at the start of matchday 30 against newly promoted SV Elversberg on Friday and, despite four consecutive games without defeat, are still in the middle of the fight to stay in the championship. with 36 points. Florian Le Joncour gave the advantage to the Sarrois, who have 40 points to their credit, in the 18th minute. The 20-year-old equalized in the 59th minute.

The visitors started the match with energy and could have taken the lead from the start. However, a powerful strike from Kenan Karaman (6th) only hit the crossbar. After a quarter of an hour, Schalke lost its dominance. Shortly after Jannik Rochelt and Paul Wanner missed a double chance, Le Joncour scored with a header to make it 1-0 for Elversberg.

The deficit had an impact on Schalke, who only returned dangerously in front of the opposition goal shortly before the break. Once again, it was Karaman who failed with a header past SVE goalkeeper Nicolas Kristof. Simon Terodde put the rebound wide of the post.

In the restart, Schalke coach Karel Geraerts brought the best to Derry Murkin – and thus showed a lucky touch. After almost an hour, the new man equalized on a direct pass from Karaman. The Royal Blues were again better in the game, but then were lucky that a shot from Wanner (71′) hit the crossbar and Rochelt (81′), completely free, was pushed back by the Schalke goalkeeper in front Marius Müller.

SC Paderborn wins at 1. FC Nürnberg: the Club must continue to tremble

1. FC Nuremberg once again missed the 40-point mark in the 2nd Bundesliga. The Franconians lost 0-2 (0-1) against SC Paderborn on Friday evening. This is the club’s third consecutive home defeat, without a win in five matches. 37 points still does not mean salvation. Adriano Grimaldi (10th minute) and Visar Musliu (61st) scored against Nuremberg, who defended poorly and finished poorly. Paderborn improved to 43 points.

Curious: Can Uzun’s supposed 1-1 in the 55th minute didn’t count because the youngster sent the ball with his right (Site notre bureau spécialisé) to his left (Site notre bureau spécialisé) after a slight slip during the penalty conversion. Due to the double contact, the goal did not count, as did Nuremberg’s two offside goals.

The guests could have led higher at the start. Sirlord Conteh hit the post (30th). In the cold and damp Max Morlock Stadium, Lukas Schmelzer, Uzun and Jannes Horn missed the 1-1 in quick succession. Paderborn’s good goalkeeper Pelle Boevink saved twice. Substitute Joseph Hungbo restarted Nuremberg’s attacking play and also won the penalty. Muslius 0:2 after a corner was Nuremberg’s 15th headed goal.
