Wolfsburg Beats Schalke 2-1

Mario Mandzukic scored twice as Wolfsburg came from behind to beat Schalke in the Bundesliga Sunday.

Mandzukic canceled out Raul Gonzalez’s 13th minute opener with a header in the 33rd, and the Croatian secured Wolfsburg’s first win after three losses when he scored again in the 82nd.

“We invested more that Schalke did and fully deserved to win,” said Wolfsburg coach Felix Magath, who was facing his previous club.

Schalke missed the chance to join Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen at the top of the table.

Earlier, Timmy Simons scored two penalties in four minutes to give 10-man Nuremberg a 2-1 win at Cologne.

“Before the game, I saw a statistic that I’d never won here,” said Nuremberg coach Dieter Hecking. “I told the team I’d like to have that wiped out. It’s nice that my players listened to me.”
