Schalke’s counter-attack continues – Another loss for Union

Schalke’s counterattack holds up well! Although the “royal blue” looked… lost and how they would return to the second division of Germany, now show that they are ready for the ultimate come-back. This time, they passed by her headquarters Bochum (0-2) and reached 19 points, dropping their current opponent to last place (with the same points). At the same time, they remain unbeaten in the last six matches, having two close wins and four draws earlier!

At the same time, in the… queue we have a five-way tie with 19 points which is made up of Bochum, Schalke, Hoffenheim, Stuttgart and Hertha (pp. in order from the last to the 14th position).

In his matches, o Riemann in the 45th minute he inadvertently scored in his own team’s goal to give Schalke the lead, with Builder in 79′ to write 2-0. In fact, the score remained as it was until the final after four minutes later his goal Sloterbeck canceled for offside!

New loss of points for the Union, who were held to a 0-0 draw in Berlin by Cologne and see their gap to the top of the standings widening. Now, his team Fisher is at -5 but not in danger of temporarily losing 3rd place, while Cologne is at +8 from the danger zone.

Great win for Augsburg as well, who beat Werder Bremen 2-1 to climb out of the bottom of the table, while Mainz moved up to 7th and are dreaming of Europe after a 1-0 win over Hoffenheim, who are having a terrible season and in danger of relegation!

Gladbach and Freiburg remained at 0-0, with the visitors remaining fifth and -2 from 3rd place, while the colts continue far from the “zone” of Europe!
