Its a battle of the two teams at the bottom of the table Regensburg in last place and Schalke only two points above them.
Schalke are in a fight for their season and not to get relegated.
Schalke have struggled under new coach Kees van Wonderen and have not won a match with him in charge.
To start the match Schalke defender Thomas Kalas is out with knee problems but speedy attacker is back Moussa Sylla.
In the 4th minute Sylla already setting up some plays with a good attempt for Mohr, but he loses speed and the defender clears the ball away from him.
Schalke break the seal early as a set up sees Mohr plays the ball to the center of the box and at the 16th minute it is Karaman who receives the pass from Mohr and he receives the pass with his back to the goal and then spins and shoots and the ball hits the far post and travels along the goal line and final passes the goal line by the time it gets to the opposite post.

Younes has a great chance in the 63rd minute to give Schalke a third goal but his shot from 15 yards curls just over the post. He has to be able to score chances like that, and he knows it from his reaction on the pitch.
