Henning Matriciani: You can’t describe these feelings

Henning Matriciani putting his body on the line and preventing Dortmund from going 3-2 ahead in the 90th minute was a moment that reflected the passionate Schalke display in the Revierderby on Saturday (11/3), and a moment that might leave a more lasting impression than the four goals scored in the 100th Bundesliga match between the S04 and BVB. It was the final moment to reward the two-goal comeback on Saturday evening and earn Schalke a point against the team second in the table.

Kenan Karaman: I still can’t quite believe it

A Revierderby goal is always special, but for Kenan Karaman, it meant so much more. The substitute’s 79th-minute header drew Schalke level for the second time in the match against Borussia Dortmund. It was a symbolic goal, above all for Karaman himself.

Maya Yoshida: I always believed in us

Schalke have conceded just one goal from six games in the second half of the season, an impressive feat. On top of that excellent defensive record, Thomas Reis’ side are now unbeaten in six games too after winning 2-0 in Bochum on Saturday (4/3). One key figure has been defender Maya Yoshida, who has started all these matches and been solid at the back alongside Moritz Jenz and in front of goalkeeper Ralf Fährmann.

The midfielder directly contributed to both goals, providing the cross which led to Manuel Riemann’s own goal, and then taking the corner which was put away but Marius Bülter to double the Royal Blues’ advantage.
