I think, in this context, "burst through" nearly means that enter one place with high determination , and "unopposed" is just adjective, and it's unusually used before noun.
In the other way, your sentence can be understood that "..., Bulut enters the half of Schalk where there is no player (unopposed)

Is "unopposed" used after "the Shalke half" and modify it ?
