Overview

  • Schalke 04 earned its first away win of the year, defeating Hertha BSC 2-1 in front of over 70,000 fans at Berlin's Olympiastadion.
  • Tomas Kalas and Kenan Karaman scored for Schalke, with Karaman converting a penalty after a costly defensive mistake by Hertha's Ibrahim Maza.
  • Hertha briefly equalized through Fabian Reese but struggled with defensive lapses and missed opportunities, including a glaring miss by Deyovaisio Zeefuik.
  • The loss extends Hertha’s winless streak to seven games, leaving them perilously close to the 2. Bundesliga relegation zone despite a recent coaching change to Stefan Leitl.
  • Schalke, backed by 20,000 traveling fans, moves further from the relegation zone, while questions remain about the stability of both clubs' leadership and performance.
