BERLIN, Germany -- Schalke slumped to their second Bundesliga defeat of the season as a goal from Christian Bassila gave Energie Cottbus a 1-0 victory -- their first league win.
Christian Bassila celebrates his goal as Cottbus beat Schalke 1-0 to claim their first victory of the season.
The former France youth international exploited a mix-up in the Schalke defence to score in the opening minute of the second half.
The win was Cottbus' first since April but they remain at the foot of the table on eight points, with Schalke in fifth ahead of the weekend's program.
Cottbus created a storm in September whenb they sacked coach Petrik Sander and replaced him with Bojan Prasnikar.
Sander's axing was attacked by his fellow Bundesliga managers and Germany coach Joachim Loew -- who were upset at the treatment meted out to the man who guided Cottbus to promotion two seasons ago. E-mail to a friend
