Germany international Leon Goretzka fired FC Schalke 04 to their fourth win of the season on Bundesliga matchday 11. The 21-year-old scored the only goal of the match at VfL Wolfsburg after 82 minutes, extending Schalke’s unbeaten run to six games. Borussia Mönchengladbach suffered their next set-back, losing 2-1 at home to 1. FC Köln in the much anticipated Rhein-derby.
Meanwhile, 1. FSV Mainz 05 secured a vital 4-2 win against SC Freiburg. FC Augsburg managed to hold Hertha BSC to a 0-0 draw, while FC Ingolstadt recorded a very important 1-0 victory over Darmstadt 98 in their first game under new coach Maik Walpurgis.
Goretzka makes the difference
The Royal Blues managed to get their first away win of the season thanks to Leon Goretzka’s strike in the 82nd minute. Schalke are now on impressive run after coming back from their poor start to the season. Wolfsburg enjoyed the better start to the game, but didn’t create any real opportunities in the first half. The visitors looked more aggressive in the second half and eventually took the lead through Goretzka.
Lars Stindl ended his 495-minute long goal drought in the Bundesliga by bagging the opener for Borussia Mönchengladbach in their encounter with arch rivals 1. FC Köln. Köln’s top goalscorer Anthony Modeste levelled the score in the second half, before Marcel Risse scored from a direct free-kick to seal the derby victory for the visitors.
Mainz hit Freiburg for four
1. FSV Mainz 05 looked well-prepared for their crucial Europa League encounter with AS St. Etienne on Thursday, as they recorded a 4-2 win over SC Freiburg. Niko Bungert and Yunus Malli scored for the hosts in the first half, before a barrage of goals followed in the second 45 minutes. Vincenzo Grifo and Nils Petersen had temporarily restored some hope for Freiburg, but Stefan Bell and Karim Onisiwo ensured the Mainz victory.
Ingolstadt claimed a very important home win against SV Darmstadt 98, as Moritz Hartmann scored the only goal of the match midway through the second half. No goals were scored in the contest between FC Augsburg and Hertha BSC.
