Schalke scored 13 of their 31 goals of the season in the final quarter of an hour. The royal blues are chasing a 16-year-old BVB record. Other Bundesliga clubs are having a much harder time in the last few minutes.

Since overtime was recorded in 1992, the latest goal in Bundesliga history is the last scored by FC Schalke 04. Marius Bülter scored in the 102nd minute of the 3-2 away win in Mainz on matchday 31 and thus underlined the royal blue specialty of the 2022/23 season in the most impressive way: late goals. Now even a Bundesliga record beckons.
Because: Schalke have currently scored 13 of their 31 goals in the final quarter of an hour and thus an amazing 41.9 percent. This value has never been so high for a Bundesliga club at the end of the season. The current record holder is S04 rival Borussia Dortmund with 41.5 percent in the 2006/07 season (17 out of 41). Schalke followed at some distance with 39.5 percent in 1969/70 (17 out of 43).
Werder just behind Schalke
With Werder Bremen (38.8 percent) there is a second Bundesliga club in the Schalke sphere this season. With 19 goals (of 49 in total), coach Ole Werner’s team is even ahead of the league in absolute terms after 31 matchdays in 2022/23. BVB follows with 17, but with a significantly lower share (23.3 percent) in view of a whopping 73 goals this season.
Behind Schalke and Werder, VfB Stuttgart (30.8 percent, 12 out of 39) has the third highest quota, followed by VfL Wolfsburg (27.8 percent, 15 out of 54), and 1. FSV Mainz 05 (27.5 percent). , 14 of 51) and Hertha BSC (27.0 percent, 10 of 37) a trio that is almost on par when it comes to late goals.
Frankfurt at the bottom
At the other end of the ranking are the “tails” Eintracht Frankfurt (13.7 percent, 7 out of 51), VfL Bochum (15.2 percent, 5 out of 33) – and FC Bayern in between: only twelve of their 83 goals and thus 14.5 percent fell in the final quarter of an hour. Even Schalke, who are visiting Munich on Saturday (3.30 p.m., LIVE! on kicker), can boast a goal more. But all this only helps Thomas Reis’ team in the end if something else succeeds shortly before the end: relegation.
