FRANKFURT (AP) — Gerald Asamoah and Jefferson Farfan scored in the second half Friday to give Schalke a 2-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. Asamoah came off the bench in the 58th and scored eight minutes later, heading in a free kick from Lukas Schmitz. Eintracht was reduced to 10 men after the ejection of Pirmin Schwegler in the 86th and Jefferson Farfan earned a penalty in injury time when he was brought down by Eintracht’s goalkeeper Jan Zimmermann. Farfan then scored the penalty himself. Zimmermann had replaced the injured Oka Nikolov at the start of the second half. “I haven’t scored for so long that, it’s a great feeling,” said Asamoah, whose last goal was in December. “We should not start dreaming now, it was important to win at home again.” After eight games, Schalke is now one point behind Hamburger SV and Bayer Leverkusen, who still have to play this weekend.
