GREAT SAVE!published at 19:53 British Summer Time 27 May 2020
Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
Big chance for Schalke! It breaks kindly for Daniel Caligiuri on the edge of the area, he shows a calm head to wait for the ball to drop, picks his spot - only to see Florian Kastenmeier make a big one-handed save.
Won't go in for Wagner.

Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
Schalke have had 22% possession, which is even worse because all they seem to really do under David Wagner is keep the ball.

Those goals would push Mainz above Eintracht Frankfurt and Hoffenheim up to within three points of a Europa League place.

And we have had some early goals! Mainz and Hoffenheim lead through Bote Baku and Christoph Baumgartner respectively.

Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
Shot on target for Dusseldorf but there's not enough behind Kenan Karaman's strike. Barely reached.
Postpublished at 19:42 British Summer Time 27 May 2020
Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
A win would put Fortuna within a point of Mainz above them - though Mainz are in action as well. The relegation picture could be much changed by close of play.
Slow starterspublished at 19:39 British Summer Time 27 May 2020
Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
Schalke have not scored in the opening 15 minutes of a Bundesliga match since Daniel Caligiuri netted in the eighth minute of a 2-1 home win against Wolfsburg on 20 January 2019.
They have not netted in the first 15 minutes of a BL away fixture since Steven Skrzybski scored in the 10th minute of a 3-1 victory at Stuttgart on 22 December 2018.
Twenty-Eighteen!
KICK-OFFpublished at 19:32 British Summer Time 27 May 2020
Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-0 Schalke
We're under way! Fortuna have drawn the last four in a row. What price a rare home win here?

Relegation-threatened Dusseldorf make five changes from the team which choked away a two-goal lead late on in Cologne.
Former Brighton man Markus Suttner and ex-Burnley striker Rouwen Hennings both come in.

In dismal form, Schalke make just two changes as Ozan Kabak and Guido Burgstaller start. As does Wales winger Rabbi Matondo.

FULL-TIMEpublished at 19:28 British Summer Time 27 May 2020
RB Leipzig 2-2 Hertha Berlin
It is another draw for the hosts, who stay in third place. They'll probably take this one though as Hertha were very good and they were down to 10 for so long.

RB Leipzig 2-2 Hertha Berlin
Another draw for RBL? They've actually lost the fewest games in the division - just three.
Postpublished at 19:18 British Summer Time 27 May 2020
RB Leipzig 2-2 Hertha Berlin
A draw is the least Hertha deserve in this one, can they go on and nick a win? They have the extra man, remember. Five minutes left.
GOAL - RB Leipzig 2-2 Hertha Berlinpublished at 19:15 British Summer Time 27 May 2020
Krzysztof Piatek (Pen 82 mins)
Hertha are level and they deserve it. Big-money signing Krzysztof Piatek has a zany run up but keeps his cool and slams it in.
PENALTY to Herthapublished at 19:14 British Summer Time 27 May 2020
RB Leipzig 2-1 Hertha Berlin
Ahhh Ademola Lookman! Dives in, poor challenge. Matheus Cunha the man brought down.
Postpublished at 19:12 British Summer Time 27 May 2020
RB Leipzig 2-1 Hertha Berlin
Timo Werner hasn't had his usual impact and he comes off as RB send on some defensive cover to see this out. Inside the final 15.
Postpublished at 19:09 British Summer Time 27 May 2020
Patrik Schick's people have had a word - that goal has been given to the forward now. Got to be an OG for me.
Postpublished at 19:07 British Summer Time 27 May 2020
RB Leipzig 2-1 Hertha Berlin
This doesn't look good. Matheus Cunha with a magical stepover, absolutely brilliant skill, he dances into the area and Angelino comes across to make a desperate tackle.
He got the ball but minced Cunha in his follow-through. The forward's knee didn't bend in a good way at all but he's back on his feet already. I feared the worst there.

Taibi/Beasant vibes about that goal if you're old like me. Just couldn't gather it in.
