Schalke 04 secured an extremely important win against Mainz 05 on Wednesday evening. The 1-0 home win means only the second and therefore all the more significant win of the season for the Gelsenkirchen team.

A win that is close but not undeserved. The whole S04 team showed a very intense and passionate game, in which playing with the ball was not neglected. The 05ers rarely got into dangerous zones, especially in the first half. The Knappen became important especially after winning the ball.

In the second half, the main focus was on defending - but also with all your might. Two good chances to make it 2-0 would have saved the fans a lot of nerves, but Tobias Mohr and Marius Bülter missed the very good chances very carelessly. This is how Thomas Reis gets his first win with royal blue. This brings the team two points closer to the relegation place.
