Magical fixture. Schalke

Goals, controversy, dismissals, VAR. The Revierderby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 at the Signal Iduna Park had just about everything. The final result was 4-4.

The side managed by Bosz had taken a four-goal lead thanks to a brilliant display by Aubameyang, who scored twice and provided an assist for Gotze.

Dortmund's first half came close to perfection, but Burgstaller's second-half goal and the Gabonese striker's dismissal piled too much pressure on the hosts. Surprise runners-up in the Bundesliga Schalke did not let it go to waste.

Not even the referee's decision to award an Aubameyang goal after the ball came of his hand could bring the visitors down. Konoplyanka shone and Tedesco's men completed the miracle.

In thirty minutes, the match went from 4-0 to 4-4. In the 94th minute, Naldo headed past Burki to stun the crowd in the Signal Iduna Park who saw their team capable of both the worst and the best in ninety minutes.
