Schalke v Cologne
Schalke 04 1-3 FC Cologne
Schalke were left rooted to the foot of the Bundesliga table after falling to their fourth straight defeat of the season, a 3-1 loss at home to Cologne.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored the first goal of the night and Schalke's first goal of the season, beating Timo Horn after the Cologne goakeeper had just denied Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting with an excellent save in the 36th minute.
The Royal Blues' lead lasted only a handful of minutes, though, before Yuyo Osako placed his shot inside Ralf Fahrmann's right-hand post from Anthony Modeste's knock down.
Modeste put Cologne in front with just under 15 minutes remaining before Simon Zoller compounded Schalke's woes with a close-range finish, lifting the Goats up to second in the Bundesliga and leaving a beleaguered Schalke bottom with zero points from four games.
