⏳ After 1,203(!) days: Schalke celebrate a Bundesliga goal again! | OneFootball

So far, Schalke’s away match at Union Berlin is going absolutely according to plan. The Royal Blues were clearly the better team in the opening stages. They looked solid at the back and kept creating dangerous moments going forward.

It was only logical that the opener came in the 25th minute. The scorer, of all people, was former Köpenick player Robin Gosens. The Germany international therefore chose not to celebrate.

It was a completely different story for the travelling Schalke fans. After an incredible 1,203 days, the Knappen supporters were finally able to celebrate a Bundesliga goal again. 

On May 27, 2023, Leipzig’s Willi Orban had provided Schalke’s last moment of joy in the top flight with an own goal. However, that strike could not prevent the 4-2 defeat and the relegation that came with it.

But after three long and at times agonizing years in the 2. Bundesliga, the Blue-Whites are back — and as of this evening, back on the scoresheet too!

What’s more, after a brilliant move, Adil Aouchiche made it 2-0 with a thunderous finish. Things are going well, you might say!
