In an electric atmosphere at the Veltins-Arena, Schalke returned to the top of the Bundesliga 2 table with a hard-fought win over a battling Magdeburg side. In an entertaining and spectacular affair, the Miners, propelled by vibrant performances from their entire front line, scored five times through a Jean Hugonet own goal, a Kenan Karaman brace, Edin Džeko and Dejan Ljubicic. The visitors’ resilience was admirable, as they continued to keep themselves in touching distance with goals at crucial times – two of which, by Alexander Nollenberger and Mateusz Zukowski, were of the eye-catching variety – but in the end Schalke had the requisite quality to secure an important victory.
