The players of last season's league vice-champions "Schalke" managed to make their fans very nervous. The Gelsenkirchen team had to chase their opponents after conceding a goal about half an hour into the game.
However, with the support of 62 thousand fans, "Schalke" managed to bounce back and in the 79th minute, the club's latest acquisition, striker S. Larsen, equalized the score. Soon after, the home team's defender M. Krstajic scored another goal, helping the "Schalke" team secure a hard-fought victory with a score of 2-1.
