FC Schalke 04 in league two for the first time at the top

With the fourth victory in the fourth game under Interim Trainer Mike Büskens Schalke 04 is climbed for the first time in the final spurt of the 2nd football Bundesliga for the first time.

The extremely effective royal blue defeated the 1st FC Heidenheim with 3: 0 (1: 0) and benefited from the draw of the competitors FC St. Pauli and Werder Bremen (1: 1).

Dominick Drexler used 57,126 specters the only Schalke scorchance of the first half to 1: 0 (35th). Ko Itkura increased with a worth seeing single action (52.), Simon Terodde provided its 22nd seasonal goal for the final score (90. + 6).

Five rounds before the end, the Bundesliga relegated has the immediate return with it close. Heidenheim adopted with the third away from the aspiration race.

Heidenheim connection hit does not count

Schalke was initially difficult for the well-organized guests who acted much purposeful direction. Torkeeper Martin Fraisl rescued twice within seconds in highest distress: initially against Jan Schöpper and then spectacular against the margin of Tim Small Services (9th). Also at Maurice Malon's volley shot, the Schalker Keeper had to stretch (20th).

In the lead, still the royal blue, when Drexler fell after a cross of Marius Bülter and a jacked defense action of Oliver Hüsing the ball was quasi on the head. It was the ninth Schalke hits following a corner.

Even after the side change, the Heidenheimer invested a lot, but Schalke was more effective. Itkura danced two opponents before he met into the long corner. Heidenheim's cooling weather (63.) met for the supposed connection hit, but the hit was withdrawn due to a shortage of the video assistant.
