The second Bundesliga is underway and it's delivering on its promise to all football fans - it's starting with a bang!
After exciting opening minutes, it's not promotion candidate Hertha with top star Fabian Reese, but Schalke 04, who score the first goal of the season in front of their home crowd - courtesy of Moussa Sylla. And it's quite curious: Remmert goes into the penalty area on the right in the 16th minute, falls to the ground in a robust duel just like his opponent Dardai. But he doesn't think about complaining to the referee, instead, he continues playing. Lying down, he quickly passes the ball to Sylla, who shoots the ball into the left corner from about ten meters.
Erster Torjubel der Saison! 🤩

Just six minutes later, the second goal followed: After a corner from Antwi-Adjei, new signing Nikola Katic jumps higher than opponent Toni Leistner at the first post and nods the ball into the left corner.
What crazy first minutes of the second league, which probably nobody expected. Schalke is literally overwhelming Hertha - and it's not even halftime yet! All fans of good football have been looking forward to this evening - except maybe the people from the capital...
