Schalke hosted relegation-threatened Bremen, with both sides desperately looking for a victory in the Bundesliga.
Bremen dominated possession early on and they almost had 80% of the ball at a point. But then Schalke fought back, almost creating a chance.
Their resistance was futile though, as Bittencourt planted a shot into the top corner from outside the box to put the visitors in front.
Schalke were much improved in the second half, but failed to create a chance.
So, the match ended 0-1 to Schalke.
Tactics:
Schalke started with a back 3, but it was more of a back 5 early as they were extremely defensive.
