BERLIN (Reuters) - Hoffenheim battled past Schalke 04 2-0 on Sunday to make it three league wins in a row and move away from the relegation zone, leaving the Royal Blues in last place in the Bundesliga.
The hosts bagged the three points with a Schalke own goal in the first half and a twice-taken second half penalty to move up to 14th place on 28 points.
They had got off to a flying start and hit the crossbar after 37 seconds of play before Hoffenheim responded with a double chance of their own a little later.
