		Schalke really deserved this victory today. After a very lazy and dull 1st half, they turned up the speed for the second one and score two goals. Another third goal was also on their list, but it was withdrawn (but it looked like a good goal either). Schalke still in a good position for the 2nd place fight. Schalke 04 – Eintracht Frankfurt: 2-0! Thanks for attention! ---- (22:21:22)
		Game over.

	73	Frankfurt has less than 20 minutes to score. The main aim for Schalke looks to be completed with this 1 goal match.
