2-1 Frankfurt: Maximum triumph for Schalke coach Magath still

Dignified predictability is not expected to Schalke at the moment. Not even on the pitch. The game against Eintracht Frankfurt had already produced two of the strangest goals of the Bundesliga history when it culminated in an almost incredible punch line. In the 83rd Angelos Charisteas was minutes off the bench, the former striker, whose transfer is a symbol of the solitary omnipotence of the controversial and already half-sacked coach Felix Magath.

In the 84th Charisteas scored minutes on his debut for Schalke's winning goal. A major triumph, a stronger proof of his general happiness, would have Magath the best will not have dreamed of. "He came, saw and conquered," the Emperor said later of his striker. But if it changes anything? Well on Sunday at the latest within the next few days it becomes "clear the air among men" to come, has scheduled the supervisory board chairman Clemens Tonnies after the turmoil of recent days.

Actually, the meat producer's coaches and sports board wanted to give it their marching orders, but then the draw came first in the Champions League quarter-finals and now the important win against Frankfurt. So? "I just know that I would never make the evaluation function of a game," said Magath smugly.

"But the victory was very beautiful." The audience will stay above all the grotesque goals in mind, from the masterful List of Raúl before 1-0. A few seconds before the break fell back to the star striker with a kick behind the Frankfurt guest goalkeeper Ralf ferryman. The young keeper, an ex-Schalke noticed nothing, he rolled the ball to himself on the floor.

As Raúl made his approach shot and ambush him wegspitzelte the ball, he had only one foul. The due penalty turned Jose Manuel Jurado (45). Conventional scoring chances did the high-use guide to the superior but not Schalke go away. Cleared three times ferryman in one-to-one situations, and when he slips up again, shot Mario Gavranovic on the empty net (62).

Nevertheless, it took even the next absurdity, so that the innocent Frankfurter came to compensation. A long ball forward by Georgios Tzavellas was Manuel Neuer, irritated by Theofanis Gekas pass before him into the goal (70th). It was the first return of harmony to round hit almost 800 scoreless minutes, and a new league record: The Statistician, Sky determined that Tzavellas had taken off from 73 meters Torentfernung.

So far, Diego gave Werder Bremen record: 62.60 meters in April 2007 against Aachen. Since it need hardly be said that even Charisteas' winning goal was anything but conventional in the production. A long pass from defender Marco Russ touchieren New could only the ball landed at the Greek striker, whose first ball contact for Schalke same ferryman overcame.

"One should never judge a player before you has not seen him," Magath said in the address to his critics, meanwhile, Charisteas a "Thanks to the coach" debate.
