Competition

The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has announced a significant new rule that will take effect next season: if a goalkeeper holds the ball for more than 8 seconds, the referee will award a corner kick to the opposing team.

In the recently concluded 2. Bundesliga match, Schalke 04 defeated Preussen Muenster 1-0, marking the return of German star Loris Karius after over a year away from competitive play.
