Florian Kainz was absent with a knee injury.

Schalke could expect partial success in manager Manuel Baum’s home debut in front of just 300 admitted spectators, as the penultimate managed to win the season’s first point. Marvin Friedrich put Urs Fischer’s visiting team ahead in the 55th minute of the game, while substitute Goncalo Paciencia (69) saved the tie for Schalke. In the Gelsenkirchen team, Alessandro Schöpf only got on the train from minute 82. Christopher Trimmel played for the Berliners, the ÖFB team player did the preparatory work with a cross for his team’s only goal, which was 10th with five points.
