FC Schalke 04 lost their opening match in the Bundesliga against FC Augsburg 0-3. According to reports, the match started at a fast pace, with both teams playing offensively. However, a throw-in by goalkeeper Loris Karius led to Augsburg's first lead, which had a lasting impact on the course of the game.

In the second half, Schalke's situation worsened as they had to play with a numerical disadvantage. A red card for FC Augsburg had little effect, as Schalke was unable to capitalize on the chances that came their way.

Notably, player Anton Kade made a case for national team selection during the match. This game was played under the watchful eye of national coach Jürgen Klopp.
