Schalke continued their march up the table with a victory against Hoffenheim on Saturday.
FC Schalke 04 Vs. 1899 Hoffenheim, 2011 Bundesliga: Huntelaar Scores Twice In Victory
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored twice in the second half to see the Royal Blues through to another victory. He converted a penalty in the 73rd minute, and then followed up just three minutes later on a Julian Draxler's shot and scored the rebound after Tom Starke's save.
The scoring got started in the 28th minute when Julian Draxler made a good run down the left and his cross found Raul in the box. The former Spanish international saw his shot deflect off of his arm and go past Starke into the net giving Schalke the early lead.
The Hoff equalized in brilliant fashion when Vedad Ibisevic volleyed a cross from Ryan Babel past Lars Unnerstall. It wasn't enough as Huntelaar's second half brace showed.
Schalke now sit second in the table just four points behind leaders Bayern.
