Scene of the match: In the 66th minute sailed one of the numerous Schalke corner game in the Dortmund penalty area, the just substitute BVB player Thorgan Hazard jumped the ball, yes, where to? Anatomists would probably speak of the poor, but referee Felix Brych has a doctorate, but this is a dr. jur. So it was played and not even the VAR endeavors. As a lawyer, Brych knows: in front of the video evidence and in court, we are in God's hands.
Result of the game: 0: 0. The plaything in the league is called Derbystar, and that was the only one who deserved the name that afternoon. For the details of the game and the game day it goes along here.
The first half: Borussia Dortmund had a player called Paul Holz in the early eighties. In the derby in 2019, the BVB tied to this tradition and again had wood as a player in its ranks. In the 29th minute Schalke's Salif Sané hit the bottom of the crossbar, four minutes later teammate Suaf Serdar hit the inside of the post. At least since the Royal Blues could have guessed that this afternoon is nothing more with a hit. The big chances reflected only the superiority of the hosts. Where the inferiority of the Dortmund was almost even more remarkable.

The second half: It went on like this. Schalke chances in abundance. The BVB defended itself in the end successfully against the derby defeat, but that was already the only success, which could book the team. Schalke was eager, strong, coach David Wagner had previously said his team was "hot as fry fat", the fries just lacked a good mayonnaise. The BVB, however, has lost all its esprit at the moment, a completely uninspired team was here to visit. Which in the table nevertheless still stands before the Schalke.
Player of the Game: Schalke Nassim Boujelab. Outstanding man on the pitch, absolute match winner, accurate goal scorer, he also brought out a penalty against BVB and prepared another hit. So won Schalke's U23 in the regional league game at noon at Borussia Dortmund 5: 1.
Duel of the game: The young Rabbi Matondo was free three times before Dortmund substitute goalkeeper Marwin Hitz. Twice Hitz remained the winner, in both cases, the flag was then lifted, although it was very close. The third time Matondo shot better just over the gate for safety's sake. In Dortmund, they currently complain about the absence of real striker, as long as Paco Alcácer is injured. In Schalke, on the other hand, they do not even know what that is, a true striker. This game without enforcers had 0: 0 go out.
Quote of the game: "From now on, history is written." So cheered Sky commentator Wolf foot at kick-off. Maybe he meant the most forgotten district derby in history. Fuss spoke before the game even from the "Century Derby".
Knowledge of the game: If a 0: 0 is a success, it says all about the current state of Dortmund soul.
