FC Schalke 04 – Borussia Dortmund 0: 4: Haaland dream goal! BVB celebrates safe derby victory

Thanks to a victory in the 98th Revierderby, Borussia Dortmund kept six points behind the Champions League places. On the 22nd matchday of the Bundesliga, coach Edin Terzic’s team managed a safe 4-0 (2-0) at FC Schalke 04.

Schalke remains at the bottom of the table with nine points.  The  deficit on Arminia Bielefeld, who still has one game up his sleeve, on the relegation place is nine points.

Dortmund’s captain Marco Reus said: “Schalke didn’t play with confidence. We didn’t take advantage of playing in the right rooms in the first half. We didn’t have the clear big chances. If you continue to play offensively, you will eventually score. It was important that we stayed in the second half. ”

 The  goals were scored by Jadon Sancho (42nd), Erling Haaland with a brace (45th and 79th) and Raphael Guerreiro (60th). Haaland’s first hit was worth seeing: a sideways puller at an impressive altitude. “Erling’s goal was sensational. He does a great job,” said Reus.

FC Schalke 04 – BVB:

 The  coach voices

Christian Gross (coach FC Schalke 04): “It was a very bitter thing to lose so heavily against arch rivals. It was a game that ran completely against us. When Mustafi was out, we had to make adjustments, and then Ralf Fährmann was also out. We didn’t defend well, we had little possession. We believe until the bitter end that it is still possible. We will fight, try everything. ”

Edin Terzic (coach Borussia Dortmund): “We came here to win the derby, and we succeeded.

 The  way we scored the goals makes us very happy.

 The  way we performed in Seville and here is of course what we imagine . But we are in a process that will take time, there will be setbacks, that will take time. ”

FC Schalke 04 versus BVB:

 The  analysis

Dortmund (compared to 3-2 in Seville with Delaney and Brandt instead of Akanji and Bellingham) tried to control the game in the early stages.

 The  ball was patiently held in their own ranks. Schalke was low, only attacked from the middle line and let Dortmund have their way. In the middle of the first half, the ball possession was almost 80 percent.

In the front third of the field, Dortmund initially lacked ideas and precision. A Sancho shot (7th) remained the only dangerous situation for a long time.

 The  Schalke back four around Thiaw and Oczipka, who started for Mustafi, who was injured during the warm-up, was stable. Apart from poorly played counter-chances, there was hardly anything offensive from Schalke.

In the 31st, Schalke keeper Fährmann had to be replaced injured. His representative Langer conceded two goals until the break: Sancho scored 1-0 (42nd) after losing the ball from Stambouli, Haaland made it 2-0 (45th) with a fantastic side pull.

Schalke coach Gross brought Schöpf and Mascarell for William and Boujellab during the break. His team now appeared as if they had been replaced, played much more courageously forward – but did not reward themselves for it. Hitz directed a Serdar shot to the post (50th) and shortly afterwards defused a chance from Hoppe (53rd).

Dortmund seemed a bit insecure during this phase until Guerreiro made the decision out of nowhere (60th). Schalke then tried to continue, but were no longer really dangerous. Haaland finished with his second goal (79th).
