Schalke's century coach Huub Stevens was not only serenaded on his 66th birthday, but was also allowed to celebrate a victory by Schalke. Schalke won 2-1 (1-1) against Union Berlin at the start of matchday 13. Benito Raman scored the lead for hosts (23 minutes), Marcus Ingvartsen scored for a penalty (36 '). Suat Serdar (86 ') scored for the late winner. Schalke are second, Union is eleventh.

After a pass from Schalke goalkeeper Alexander Nübel into the feet of Unions Ingvartsen, the guests would have gone almost four minutes into the lead. Ingvartsen's shot was deflected by Matija Nastasic, who just missed the goal. Union Berlin was in the episode to note the self-confidence after four wins in a row. After 20 minutes, the guests had already made four shots, Schalke still no.

With the first chance the host took the lead. A too short header defense took Raman directly from scarcely 16 meters by force shot - and met worth seeing under the bar. Union remained the better team and equalized after a very questionable penalty whistle. Robert Andrich was already off the hook before coming into contact with Nastasic. Referee Daniel Schlager did not check the situation on screen. Ingvartsen made sure.

Schalke marches, Union counters

In the third minute of injury time in the first half Schalke had after one of the few insecurities in the guest defensive still the chance to lead. But both Weston McKennie and Ozan Kabak did not put the ball under the net.

After the break, the spectators in the stadium, including Clemens Tönnies, who was in the stadium for the first time following his self-imposed three-month break, saw a Schalke side move forward. Raman (51st and 59th) had two good chances. Union Berlin moved in the second game on counter - and almost scored the lead. Kabak saved in the last second before the ready Marius Bülter (61). Four minutes before the end of the regular season Serdar then redeemed FC Schalke.
