DUESSELDORF, Germany (Reuters) - Fortuna Duesseldorf boosted their hopes of avoiding relegation from the Bundesliga as goals from Rouwen Hennings and Kenan Karaman helped them come from behind to beat Schalke 04 2-1 at home in a scrappy contest on Wednesday.

The result left Fortuna 16th, the relegation playoff spot, on 27 points from 28 games, one behind Mainz who stayed in the safety zone with a 1-1 draw at Union Berlin. Schalke, who extended their winless league run to 10 matches, stayed ninth on 37 points.

The contest finally sprung to life when Weston McKennie fired Schalke into a 53rd-minute lead with a diving header from a superb Bastian Oczipka cross. More sloppy defending allowed the hosts to complete their comeback five minutes later, as Karaman headed the ball in from one metre after Erik Thommy's cross was nodded into his stride.

All of the migrants will die of Corvid-19 because of what this evil Perikatan Nasional government appointed by the Agong is doing to them. Is this mass extinction part of their evil plan? Yah.. The only benefit I get is citizenship rights. That’s all since I am not bumi yet I pay lots and lots of money in taxes & my kids have to go to private university. Now with my tax money I have to provide medical care for non-Malaysian!
