The game is over – Aarau and Schalke draw 2-2


90th minute: Addition time is running


Two minutes are made up. Can a team still score the winning goal?

87th minute: Schalke celebrates too early about making it 3-2


After a free kick, the ball lands in the Aarau goal. Because Schalke’s Wasinski was offside before his header, the goal didn’t count.

85th minute: Janko misses the third goal for Aarau


That was the home team’s great chance to score their third goal. After Gjorgjev asserts himself strongly down the side, the ball ends up at Janko. But his shot from the edge of the penalty area flies well over the goal. The final phase is underway!

73rd minute: Schallenberg scores with his head – Schalke equalizes


Then the balance falls. After a corner, substitute Schallenberg prevailed and equalized the score to 2-2.

55th minute: Schalke takes the game, Aarau waits


The home team retreats at the beginning of the second half and narrows the space in their own half of the pitch. With success: Schalke have not been able to create any significant chances to score since the break.

Let’s move on!

33rd minute: Thaler clears against Lasme


Schalke is increasing its offensive efforts and looking for a balance. But Thaler reaches a dangerous cross in front of his opponent Lasme and can clear it for a corner.

25th minute: Aarau defends its lead and waits for a counterattack


The home team is very compact defensively and doesn’t allow anything defensively. If the ball is won, you move forward at lightning speed. And when Schalke was able to play through, FCA goalie Hirzel was there and clarified the situation.

10th minute: Fofana puts FC Aarau in the lead


Goal for FCA! Fofana is in the right place after a rebound from Hoffmann and feeds the ball into the goal from the best position. The home team presents. Shortly afterwards, Fazliu can almost double.

6th minute: Gjorgjev with the first Aarau finish


Schalke has slight advantages in the first few minutes without appearing really dangerous in front of the FCA goal. After five minutes, the home team went on the offensive for the first time. Gjorgjev’s finish isn’t a problem for Schalke goalie Ron-Thorben Hoffmann.
