Schalke have ended their 12-game losing streak against FC Bayern with a hard-fought draw in the Bundesliga. The match, which took place on matchday 2 Topspiel, saw Schalke hold Bayern to a goalless draw. The best chance of the first half came for Luis Diaz, who failed to capitalize on a through ball from Nathaniel Brown. Bayern's Vincent Kompany made tactical substitutions in the second half, bringing Harry Kane on and swapping Michael Olise for Jamal Musiala.
These changes seemed to invigorate Bayern's attack, as they created several promising moments in the final third. Despite this, Schalke's solid defense, reminiscent of what helped them secure promotion to the Bundesliga last season, kept them in the match. Although Kane came close to scoring, Loris Karius made a crucial save to prevent a breakthrough.
Schalke, yet to score in the league, managed to limit Bayern's chances and secure the draw. The sides will face each other again on matchday 3, with Schalke hosting Union Berlin and Bayern traveling to play Elversberg.
