The Bavarians dominated possession, holding 82% of the ball in the first period, but were unable to create any clear-cut chances. Luis Diaz had a particularly notable miss, shooting wide with his left foot in the 41st minute. Despite their dominance, Bayern Munich struggled to break down the Schalke 04 defence, with the promoted team holding firm at home.

In the second period, Michael Olise entered the game and participated in the siege on Schalke's goal, showing himself to be very available but ultimately missing a close-range opportunity on a corner kick. The German goalkeeper Loris Karius made an exceptional save on a powerful shot from Kane in the 87th minute, securing a draw for Schalke 04.
