Werder slump to defeat at Schalke
Kuranyi wheels away in delight after opening the scoring for Schalke. BERLIN, Germany -- Schalke beat Werder Bremen 2-0 on Friday in an ill-tempered clash between the two north German clubs with Bundesliga title aspirations. Kevin Kuranyi scored his first goal since March to give Schalke the lead after seven minutes, outjumping Pierre Wome to head in a cross from Peter Lovenkrands. Hamit Altintop made it 2-0 with a breakaway goal 18 minutes from time. It was the first defeat of the season for Bremen, who had won their first two Bundesliga matches and had also beaten Bayern Munich to win the pre-season League Cup. Werder's winning Bundesliga run had stretched to seven matches taking into account the end of last season as well. Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese made three outstanding saves in the fast-paced match played before a sell-out crowd of 61,482, denying Kuranyi, Halil Altintop and Gerald Asamoah.
