Amine Harit struck a fine 89th-minute winner as Schalke beat Mainz 2-1 at the Veltins-Arena to move up to second place in the Bundesliga.
Harit provided the assist for the opening goal in the 36th minute when his pass found Suat Serdar in the box and the ex-Mainz player lashed the ball past Robin Zentner.
The visitors drew level with 15 minutes left through substitute Karim Onisiwo, who collected the ball from Jean-Paul Boetius, turned and sent a curling shot into the net.
Harit then secured all three points for David Wagner’s side with a delightful finish, the Morocco international dispatching the ball into the corner of the net from the edge of the area with the outside of his boot.
Schalke go level on points with leaders RB Leipzig ahead of the weekend’s action, while Mainz remain 16th.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
