The only goal fo the match came through a fast counter attacking
move. It started with Barrios giving away possession which
resulted in a quick move by Schalke. The ball reached Altintop
in the left wing, he passed it on the floor to find Farfan
and the latter buried it home directly with his left to give
the guests the lead.
Dortmund tried to get back into the game but
they failed to create real chances. Zidan had a few half chances
from long range efforts as he played as a late striker. He
sent the ball over in three attempts while he had an effort
on goal from the edge of the box but the ball was parried
by the goalkeeper.
In the 2nd half, Valdez came on to replace the
dissapointing Barrios but he wasn't able to hit the target
either. Zidan sent the Paraguayan a gift pass near the end
of the match but the goalkeeper managed to block his shot.
Schalke, on the other hand, looked dangerous
with their few counter attacks. Altintop in particular and
the substitute Asamoah had a couple of real chances but their
final touch was lacking.
After the match, the crowd started booing Dortmund
players, a thing that sent Mohamed Zidan to the tunnel in
tears.
