FC Schalke October Results

</div>

Following a huge win in the Revierderby, FC Schalke 04 were looking forward to closing out September on a high note and carrying their momentum into October. Things didn't quite turn out that way, but they still find themselves in a comfortable position in the league table with an opportunity to move up.

The Royal Blues ended September with a victory over Augsburg, but it was a closer match than their fans were hoping for. Schalke were a bit lucky to have come away with the three points in this one - despite Augsburg never registering a shot on goal - as the only scorer in the match turned out to be Augsburg's André Hahn as he deflected in an own goal from a Schalke corner.

Next up was a Europa League Group Stage match against Bursapor. Schalke were the favourites here, but couldn't solve the Turkish side as they fell 1-0 in the match to push Bursapor into first place in their group.

The next match for Schalke was very disappointing despite coming away with a point, as they led 3-1 at one point thanks to two goals from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and one from Kevin-Prince Boateng. Mike Frantz knotted things up for Nurnberg in the 93rd minute to salvage a point from the match.

In the Revierderby rematch, Schalke was devastated. After overcoming their arch rivals in the DFB Pokal just a month before, this time it was Borussia Dortmund coming out victorious on the strength of a Robert Lewandowski hat trick.

Schalke's fortunes would improve from there with a 3-1 victory over FC Nordsjælland in Europa League action to retain their 2nd position in the group. Max Meyer was the hero in this one, scoring two for Schalke, while defender Seamus Coleman scored his first for his new side with a brilliant strike from the edge of the 18-yard box.

Schalke met with Hannover 96 to close out October, in a match anticipated match after the managers of each side had a war of words in he media. This just a couple of months after the two agreed to a transfer that brought Ron-Robert Zieler to Schalke. The Royal Blues struck early in the match as Julian Draxler scored in the 5th minute, but Hannover would tie it just nine minutes later, and the match would end 1-1.
