For the eleventh time, Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund played out a 0-0 draw – no other match in Bundesliga history has seen so many goalless draws. The facts about the 155th competitive derby.

Strong finish: The last four goal shots of the game all came from Borussia Dortmund (between the 73rd and the 79th minute) - BVB letting loose with as many shots as they had managed in the entire game up to that point. Overall, shots on goal was 12-8 in Schalke’s favour, who went close for the final time in the 69th minute.

Busiest player: With four shots on the Schalke goal, Jadon Sancho enjoyed the most attempts on goal of all the 28 players involved in the game.

Strong in the tackle: Mats Hummels was the strongest player in the match, winning 88% of his challenges.

Unbeaten record still intact: Marwin Hitz replaced the ill Roman Bürki in goal. BVB’s talisman had previously won all eight competitive games. In his first ever Ruhr derby he was again a very alert last line of defence, but also enjoyed the necessary good fortune as two shots hit the post and Raphael Guerreiro cleared another chance off the line. Therefore, Hitz remains unbeaten with BVB.

Premiere: Tobias Raschl appeared in the first team squad for the first time. The 19-year-old defensive midfielder has only played in the Regionalliga for the U23 side as well as in the UEFA Youth League for the U19s.

Rotation: BVB made five changes to the side that lost 2-0 to Inter Milan – the last time BVB made so many changes from one competitive game to the next was in March in the 3-2 win at Hertha Berlin.
