Football: Haaland scores as Dortmund beats local rival Schalke 3-0

Dortmund's Erling Haaland celebrates with a kick in the air after he scored his side's second goal during the German Bundesliga soccer match between Borussia Dortmund and FC Schalke 04 in Dortmund, Germany, Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020. BERLIN: Erling Haaland scored as Borussia Dortmund beat its old rival Schalke 3-0 in the Bundesliga to steady the ship after a damaging loss to Lazio in the Champions League.

A win was sorely needed for Dortmund, which had lost three of its last five games including the 3-1 defeat to Lazio and needs to shore up its European hopes against Zenit St. Petersburg on Wednesday. The three-goal margin of victory was arguably the minimum expected for Dortmund since Schalke last won a league game in January. Schalke is mired in financial problems exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic and has a goal difference of -17 after five games.A game which is normally one of Germany’s most colorful and fiercest rivalries was played in front of just 300 spectators selected from Dortmund's members and season-ticket holders.

The Lewandowski show started soon after. After his hat trick goal in the 61st, Lewandowski was taken off.
