4/1/2022, 8:54 p.m
The Royal Blues can dream of promotion for at least one night. With a brace, goalscorer Terodde lifted Schalke 04 to third place in the 2nd Bundesliga. Ingolstadt is struggling despite a long majority, but can breathe a sigh of relief shortly before the end.
Dynamo Dresden – FC Schalke 04 1: 2 (0: 1)
With the third win in a row, Schalke 04 has climbed to the promotion relegation place for at least one night in the 2nd Bundesliga. Thanks to the record scorer Simon Terodde, the Royal Blues prevailed 2-1 (1-0) at Dynamo Dresden, who were threatened with relegation, and initially passed Darmstadt 98. The Hessians could return to third place on Saturday (1.30 p.m. / Sky) with a home win against Holstein Kiel.
Terodde first gave Gelsenkirchen the lead from the penalty spot – with their first penalty of the season (45th). Then the 34-year-old followed up with a header (51st), it was his 21st goal of the season and his 163rd goal in the second division. The Dresdeners, for whom Paul Will shortened (70th), remain in dire need after the eleventh game in a row without a win. The Saxons continue to occupy the relegation rank.
The favorite started cautiously and was lucky when Will hit the post with a deflected shot (26th). Shortly before the break, Will caused the penalty by fouling Terodde, which the striker used to make it 1-0 for the visitors. Shortly after the restart, he converted a cross from Dominick Drexler.
Rodrigo Zalazar was injured at Schalke, the outstanding player in the previous two games with two goals and two assists, but top preparer Thomas Ouwejan was able to play again. Dynamo had to do without goalscorer Christoph Daferner (Corona).
FC Ingolstadt 04 – Ore Mountains Aue 3: 2 (2: 0)
At the end of the season FC Ingolstadt draws a little hope of staying up in the league. The defeated Schanzer defeated Erzgebirge Aue 3-2 (2-0) in the basement duel after more than 80 minutes. With 18 points, the gap to the relegation place for the FCI is ten points with six games remaining.
Attacker Patrick Schmidt (25th), Visar Musliu (28th) and Andreas Poulsen (90th + 1) provided the Ingolstadt goals in front of 4189 spectators. Aues Prince Owusu had previously seen the red card after a punch against Marcel Gaus (7th). Antonio Jonjic (69th) and Sören Gonther (89th) equalized for the guests in the meantime. With only 19 points, the Saxons in 17th place are about to be relegated to the 3rd division.
After being sent off, the guests lost control and Ingolstadt took over. Schmidt thoughtfully pushed in from a central position, a little later Musliu headed a free-standing corner from a corner. Aue found his way back into the game out of nowhere. Jonjic and Gonther equalized late on, but Poulsen had the last word.
