After about half an hour had just surged applause in the South Stand of the arena. The sitting there Schalke supporters were called Jefferson Farfan welcome in the arena, he had one year only enter as a visitor. No sooner had missed the winger started to warm up, as took this side of the chalk lines on the south side of the disaster for Schalke its course. Powered by Simon Rolfes with a pass in the interface, Bell Arabi placed the ball into the goal from an acute angle. Simon Wellenreuther, actually stationed at low near post, made again not a very good figure and let them pass the ball powerfully shot.
The young goalkeeper of Schalke had already shown in several other encounters weaknesses that had remained not without consequence. Schalke hoping goalkeeper Ralf ferryman will be available again, had shattered. After the tearing of the posterior cruciate ligament return to the competition mode for ferryman would have come too early.

This was especially true for Leroy Sane. The nineteen year old, recently noticed as Himmelsstürmer and scorer, had to finish his weekend duty three minutes before the half-time whistle – without that, viewed from the outside, were visible signs of injury. Instead of talent ordered coach Di Matteo the star Kevin-Prince Boateng last little used as a second striker Huntelaar in the next tip. The eccentric professional had for the third time in succession does not belong to Schalke’s starting lineup in the Bundesliga.
Shortly after the break Boateng had prepared almost a goal. His cross was indeed meant for Christian Fuchs, but ended up with the midfielder, whose volley shot just missed the target. Schalke ran the residue is involved behind, but in vain.
In the final phase Farfan also started work on the lawn on. But his return was the only thing that Schalke should encourage the next few weeks. The Gelsenkirchen labored honestly expressed their attacks but rarely at the end, at least still be able to salvage a point. Bell Arabi even had the opportunity to expand the Leverkusen ahead.
