Schalke team achieved its first victory after returning to the German Premier League, "Bundesliga", by defeating its host Union Berlin 3-1 on Friday in the opening of the third round of the competition.
Schalke's first goal was scored by Robin Gosens in the 25th minute, Frenchman Adil Aouchichi added the second goal in the 46th minute, then Tim Skarke scored Union Berlin's only goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time in the second half, and at the end of stoppage time, Maximilian Wupper sealed the hat-trick for the visiting team, Schalke.

Schalke achieved a valuable draw in the last round with defending champion Bayern Munich.
Frenchman Eduardo Camavinga, the Spanish midfielder for Real Madrid, succeeded in turning the scales completely in his favor, with the start of the current season with his team, after a previous season that was characterized by great difficulty.
Although many doubted his ability to adapt to the high standards imposed by Portuguese coach Mourinho, the French international midfielder took advantage of his opportunity with remarkable success.
Through his outstanding performance in the last matches in which he started, the player proves to his coach that he possesses all the ingredients to become the distinguished player whom everyone predicted would have a promising future for him a few seasons ago.
However, the difficult season he went through made ensuring his future with Real Madrid uncertain, as Marca newspaper reported that the Turkish club Galatasaray was ready last July to make an offer worth approximately 50 million euros to include the player.
Despite the insistence of the Turkish club management, the player categorically refused to leave the Spanish capital, preferring to fight to reserve his place in the team’s lineup, an option that seems to be beginning to bear fruit at the present time.
