Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-1 Schalke
Schalke growing in cofidence now they're finally ahead. A nice move, patient and probing, sees them play in Jonjoe Kenny down the right. He has two targets to aim at and stands up a nice cross but Dusseldorf just about clear.
Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-1 Schalke
That was Schalke's first away goal of 2020.
Hoffenheim 3-0 Cologne
Yet another red card as Hoffenheim skipper Benjamin Hübner goes off.
He's the fourth player to receive a Bundesliga red card today, equalling the most BL red cards on a single day this season.
There was no day to have more than three BL red cards in either 2017-18 or 2018-19.
Weston McKennie (53 mins)
Breakthrough! How the game needed this and it's Schalke who get it.
Comes from a set-piece, Weston McKennie is never once picked up and he can just trot into the area and guide a flying header into the back of the net. Timed it brilliantly.

Hit it! No.
The ball pops up in the air nicely and it's irresistible for Kevin Stoger. The Dusseldorf man lines up a volley from 25 yards and shanks it at a right angle.
Well wide.
We're crying out for some quality.
Hoffenheim 3-0 Cologne
And it's three! The 10 men being punished big time now. Steven Zuber gets this one.

Hoffenheim 2-0 Cologne
No messing from Hoffenheim, who double their lead in the first minute of the second half with Christoph Baumgartner getting his second.
Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
Promising start to the half! Good bright move from Schalke as they tee up Jonjoe Kenny on the overlap and the Everton man slices a shot into the side-netting.
Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
Schalke are in a dire run and reports suggest the club are facing money troubles too. David Wagner needs a win here big time.
Both sides do. Quite simply it has to be a better second period.
Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
Dusseldorf coach Uwe Rosler was so miffed after that duff first half that he didn't even bother leaving the dugout. Having a coach convention, leaving his players to stew.

I don't know but the BBC will go halves on the call.
Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
Rubbish. Absolutely awful half.

The Bundesliga refs are being kept busy this evening as Union Berlin next go down to 10 men before the break. It's two yellows for Robert Andrich.
Union Berlin 1-1 Mainz
Marcus Ingvartsen is the first player to score a free kick for Union in the Bundesliga.

Schalke really do look devoid of ideas. Not that surprising I suppose considering their results since their last win in January are:
LDDDDLLLDLL

Union Berlin are level and we'll let them off that errant apostrophe just this once.
Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
Dusseldorf play a corner short and Erik Thommy shifts the ball well on to his right foot and sends in a low shot which Markus Schubert just about claws away. Not the most convincing from the Schalke keeper, again.
Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
Rabbi Matondo puts on the afterburners to take Schalke clear on the break, he has a man either side and goes the right way, but it's just about cut out. Better.
Hoffenheim 1-0 Cologne
An early bath for Cologne's Seb Bornauw. Not an ideal start to their night's work is it?
Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
Well defended, but also nearly a brilliant own goal from Everton loanee Jonjoe Kenny, bulleting a header a yard over his own crossbar under heavy pressure.
