66.Minute: The personnel change from S04 trainer David Wagner is immediately fizzled out. Goals two and three shortly before and shortly after half-time have broken Schalke's neck here.

62 minutes: And BVB hits again! Guerreiro laces the double pack after a nice interaction with striker Haaland. 

56.Minute: The guests do not let their heads hang down and continue to attack - but on the other hand, this could also be due to BVB, which no longer has to go full throttle. The hosts deliver a confident performance and bring the corresponding self-image onto the lawn with a three-goal lead.

48 minutes: TOOOOR! And the Borussia will meet again! Schalke coach Wagner brings two fresh players and the "squires" start strong - but a picture book counterattack by BVB destroys hopes. Haaland is knocked out, but still brings the ball to Brandt and he serves the great Hazard - the Belgian completes the 3: 0.

46 minutes: Referee Aytekin asks for the second round!

Mid-term conclusion: It looks good for the Dortmunders in the empty Signal Iduna Park. Arch-rival Schalke 04 was able to keep up in the first 30 minutes of the ghost game, but BVB already had one or two half chances there. A great pass from Hazard, the use of which occurred shortly before the kick-off, brought the home side onto the winning road. Goalscorer Haaland has not yet forgotten how to snap and sank ice cold. While the first phase was a little bit like a friendly game, the Favre team grew stronger and was able to strike again just before the half-time whistle. Another positive news for Borussia: Chaser Leipzig lags behind Freiburg!

45 minutes: Shortly before the half-time whistle, Borussia Dortmund strikes a second time and hits the 2-0! Haaland puts S04 goalkeeper Schubert under pressure - and disaster takes its course. The ball lands at the black and yellow, comes to Guerreiro on the left and the Portuguese nets flat.

44.Minute: Harit wanted to save a penalty against Hakimi - but referee Aytekin does him no favor to go into it in more detail.

42 minutes: The Favre team has now grooved in and ties the Schalke into their own half. Gelsenkirchen will be pretty happy when the break whistle will sound shortly. 

36 minutes: The Dortmunders now have a noticeable tailwind. Hakimi again with a nice cross and Haaland tries again - but this time lifts the ball over the goal.

18. Minute:  "Royal Blue" keeps up well and creates the game open. The home side have a little bit more play. Given Corona, do the actors forego physical contact? A certain distance cannot be dismissed from the hand and the match is definitely reminiscent of a test game - with top teams.

 13.Minute : The hosts rightly did not get a penalty after Schalke Kenny got the ball from close range. The disappointment with the black and yellow is still great.

12 minutes: First good chance - and that belongs to the home side. Hakimi marches to the right of it and fits sharply into the box. But the Schalke defense can pull the leather out of the danger area.

6 minutes: First gross foul committed by Dahoud. But Caligiuri pounds the ball from about 20 meters into the wall. In return, Hazard shoots, but thunders the ball a few meters over the box. It will take a while for the players to get used to the special situation ...

3rd minute: You feel like you are in an oversized gym. Every call of the players echoes through the wide circle. Whether we get completely different insights into the communication of the professionals today compared to a resounding background noise?

Live ticker Dortmund against Schalke: Short-term change at BVB

3.30 p.m .: The game is on!

15:26: Shortly before the whistle there is a change in personnel at BVB! Reyna has probably injured herself when warming up, instead Hazard comes from the beginning - instead of offensive whirlwind Sancho, who remains on the bench anyway because he still suffers from calf problems.

3:19 p.m .: We look through the TV cameras into the wide circle and see empty stands. A picture that is really unusual ten minutes before the kick-off between Borussia and the "Knappen". It will be interesting to see how hot the atmosphere on the lawn will be - without the support of the fans.

3:15 p.m .: And what did Schalke do last? Played a 1-1 draw at TSG Hoffenheim before the Corona break. It is striking today that both teams will act in defense with a chain of three or five (in reverse).

3:05 p.m .: Instead of offensive star Jadon Sancho, Giovanni Reyna can run from the start. Less than 20 minutes before it gets down to business in the sparsely filled former Westphalia Stadium. As a reminder: BVB lost the last competitive game - it was the failure in the Champions League at Paris St. Germain.

2:43 p.m .: Which formations will the arch-rivals go into the Bundesliga game with? This secret is out. Surprisingly, Juwel Reyna has been able to run BVB from the start. Mats Hummels in the headquarters and the necessary goal risk should provide shooting star Haaland. At Schalke, as expected, Schubert is in the housing instead of Bald-Bayer Nübel.

1:43 p.m .: Less than two hours before kick-off - normally the stadium would fill up slowly. Today the players have to do without fans. BVB posted a photo of the empty south grandstand in the stadium. Can the black and yellow perform well without the “yellow wall”?

We miss her, Borussia!

12.43 p.m .: The Revierderby rises without spectators, but when are fans allowed back in the stadium? A doctor now gives hope.

11:04: Because, in addition to the players, the referees are also tested for the corona virus before a Bundesliga match, the DFB only announces the fixtures on the match day when the test results are available. This is the case now.

Referee Deniz Aytekin heads the 96th Bundesliga derby between Borussia Dortmund and FC Schalke 04. 

Meanwhile, it became known that a Bundesliga star must be in quarantine. His child is said to be infected with the corona virus.

We do not know where we stand in sports. Of course, I wonder if everything that we have prepared in organizational terms will work, ”said the managing director of Borussia Dortmund to the“ Funke Mediengruppe ”before the district derby against FC Schalke 04 on Saturday (3:30 pm / Sky) in their own stadium.

The traditional game is being played as a ghost game for the first time due to the Corona crisis . "Playing without spectators really hurts us a lot," said Watzke . However, contacts to the fan scene would have given him the impression "that many fans understand why we are going to continue," he commented, referring to the criticism of many observers about the return of the footballers to the title fight.

In addition to the tension, the 60-year-old also feels relief "because things are now going on in our industry and we are generating revenue again". "I can only really feel joy again when we play in a full stadium," said the BVB boss .

But the Revierderby never had any similar signs as this year. The league comes from the Corona break * and is the world's first major sports league to resume regular operations.

The training procedures in the past few weeks were also unusual. After the cancellation, the players were only allowed to train at home. Then we worked in small groups and only recently has complete team training been allowed again. The teams will also have to get used to new cheers *. After all, curious injuries should be excluded.

But it is not the unusual training methods that make the derby, according to Sebastian Kehl , "certainly the most unusual derby in history". Of course there is also the viewer aspect. The game, like the rest of the season, will be a ghost game without fans . No battle cries, no chants, no special choreo.

The season starts "from zero", but it is important to follow the existing numbers. Because therefore the Dortmund have almost only final games in front of them if they want to continue to put pressure on FC Bayern Munich * in the fight for the championship . They are only four points behind the German record champions * - but the Borussia will not lack motivation in the big derby anyway.

At FC Schalke the sporting signs look a little different. The "Knappen" held their sixth place and qualification for the Europa League with only one point ahead, but the last games were anything but successful. The team of David Wagner has been waiting for a win for seven competitive games, among other things it set clear bankruptcies against RB Leipzig (0: 5) and 1. FC Köln (0: 3).

In the derby against BVB, fans will only be able to cope with a defeat if they recognize the correct use of their team.

Schalke will be happy to hear that and would rather see it. Even neutral fans can hardly wait to finally see the players in the derby again.

Before the derby there will be important decisions about the Bundesliga. Among other things, it is about relegation and home law. FC Bayern starts sporting operations against 1. FC Union Berlin. You can also follow the game in our live ticker.
