Nürnberg 0 Schalke 2

Nürnberg were relegated in a wholly disappointing game for the fans of ‘der Klub’. In a game they had to win, they never looked like scoring and lost 2-0. What makes matters worse is that Bielefeld were held to a draw at Stuttgart so a point would have done to secure their survival.

The positive, expectant mood inside the easycredit Stadion was soon dampened when Bordon headed the visitors ahead after 19 minutes. A classic corner delivered by Pander saw the Schalke captain rise strongly to power in an unstoppable header.

The Königsblauen then hammered another nail into the Nürnberg coffin on the hour mark with Bordon getting his and Schalke’s second of the afternoon. Pander’s free kick was narrowly missed by Kevin Kuranyi and Klewer was forced to parry. However Bordon was on the spot to stab home from close range.

The win though was not enough to secure second spot for Schalke as Werder beat Bayer Leverkusen.
