(Bundesliga 2022/2023): Highlights Schalke - Frankfurt

Schalke were in the relegation playoff spot going into their clash with Eintracht Frankfurt. Rondal Koulamwani and the Eagles looking to boost their hopes of a top-six finish, while the hosts were chasing a third straight home win. And Schalke made a dream start which ignited the home crowd. In the very first minute, Rodrigo Salazar's pinpoint delivery found Simon Toroda. The big striker marked his final home game as a Royal Blues player with his fifth league goal of the season. It was Toroda's goals that got the team promoted to the Bundesliga. Now he wants to keep them in the top flight. But 20 minutes later, Frankfurt were level as a classy counter-attack saw the ball find its way to Deji Kamada and his drive squirmed underneath goalkeeper Alexander Shvolo. The Japanese international has been in red-hot form, this his third goal in his last four competitive appearances. One-all at the break, thanks to Kamada's leveller, Schalke suspended top-scorer Marius Bulte, a tense spectator. Frankfurt completed their comeback on 59 minutes as Al-Mahmoud Toure teed up Tuta. Only the Brazilians' second league goal of the season, but it felt significant. Schalke rolled up their sleeves and pushed back. Tobias Moore finding Moritz Jens. He tested Kevin Trapp. And at this stage, the hosts' momentum was building. And the leveller arrived on 85 minutes as Henning Matriziani won the ball back, allowing Tobias Moore to find Sebastian Polter. The striker's first league goal since September, and it could prove crucial in the final analysis. It was a moment that sparked an explosion of joy and relief. So, a point apiece, a result that makes both teams' lives a bit harder and a bit more nerve-wracking. It's all down to matchday 34. Schalke aren't down, but they aren't safe either.
