Schalke makes Berliners life miserable
By: Porter | May 17th, 2009Schalke stymied Hertha BSC in route to a nil draw at the Olympiastadion, thus killing off the Berliners chances for the Bundesliga title. With chances for European football long since over by Schalke it was a superb display of playing for pride and one to make all fans proud.
With Heiko Westermann and Halil Altintop back in the lineup, Schalke was focused in returning from their journey to the capital with a point. Complete ball possession dominated the proceeding as Schalke limited the the home sides efforts. However that isn’t to say they didn’t have their chances, most notably with Marko Pantelić consistently denied by “man of the match”, Schalke ‘keeper Manuel Neuer. On the opposite end, Schalke’s efforts were pinned back most notably with Pál Dárdai and Serbian international Gojko Kačar keeping advances in-check. Just before the hour mark Andriy Voronin came in for Hertha but there was no way through as the match ended without a score.
Schalke’s season comes to a close next Saturday against Hoffenheim at home in Gelsenkirchen with of-course many changes to come in the summer.

playing for pride? – They were rubbish. Considering their players are worth twice as much as Hertha’s it was embarrasing. Thank your lucky stars the touch judge got the offiside decision wrong or it would have been 1-0 to Hertha.
