Schalke beats Stuttgart in Bundesliga

Klaas Jan Huntelaar ended his goal drought with a brace as Schalke defeated Stuttgart 3-2 in the Bundesliga on Saturday, ESPN reported.

Huntelaar, who had not scored in 1,187 minutes before kickoff, scored in the ninth minute and equalized in the 78th after Martin Harnik and Filip Kostic put Stuttgart ahead.

Stuttgart striker Daniel Ginczek had a role in both of his side's goals. He set up Harnik, who scored with a delicate chip in the 22nd, and Kostic in the 51st.

Schalke fans turned their backs to the pitch with about 15 minutes remaining, before Huntelaar equalized, and then substitute Kevin-Prince Boateng's 89th-minute volley was deflected in by Stuttgart defender Florian Klein.

Fifth-place Schalke's first win in seven games left Stuttgart bottom, three points from safety with three rounds remaining.
