Die Null extended their unbeaten run in a packed Esprit Arena against Schalke on Friday, even though they conceded their first goals of the campaign.
Fortuna Dusseldorf trainer Norbert Meier was pleased after his side made a comeback from a two goal deficit, with striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dani-c9867 Schahin netting his second double of the season. The coach suggested that he is happy for the attacker
and told that the player is deadly in front of goal, and has great striking abilities.
"That is fantastic for him. He is a threat in front of goal - that characterises him," Meier was quoted as saying in an interview.
Dutch star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 scored in the 13th minute to finally end Dusseldorf’s amazing run of six matches without conceding a single goal. Joel Matip added another to give his side a two-goal cushion in the 33rd
minute. However, Schalke’s lead did not last long as Schahin pulled a goal back at the start of the second-half.
Moreover, the forward scored again from a header to equalise from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tobias-Levels-c35177 cross. Shot-stopper Fabian Giefer claimed that he was amused by the match.
"What we experienced today is just incredible", Dusseldorf goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabian-Giefer-c13104 added.
On the other hand, Schalke’s general manager Horst Heldt maintained that he has not seen anything like this before. He said the result is more hurtful than a loss against Bayern Munich. The director of football added that his side
should have wrapped up the match but let the opponents back into the game.
"I have never experienced something like that. It hurts more than a defeat against Bayern. We had the opponent on the ground and have thrown away the match,” Heldt stated.
Furthermore, after the break the whole team slept and let Dusseldorf score two goals in quick succession.
"In the second half we all failed - from those who were on the pitch to the bus driver," he finally concluded.
Fortuna were blamed earlier for a defensive game-play, as they scored only four times in their first five Bundesliga matches before they faced Schalke. Schahin has scored four goals so far.
