Edin Džeko, who missed this match due to an injury sustained while playing for the national team against Italy, was in the stands cheering on his teammates and even made his way down to the pitch after the game. The video clearly shows Džeko approaching Ndiaye and, with a broad smile, pointing to his pocket. The young Senegalese immediately understood and "deposited" three points into Edin's pocket, after which both gestured with laughter, "job done, three points are here," while looking directly at the camera. It was a clear message that, despite all the difficulties, Schalke once again showed character and secured important points. The team from Gelsenkirchen is currently in first place, one point ahead of Paderborn and three ahead of Elversberg, whom they will visit in the next round.
