Neuer Schalke's hero

Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was the hero for Champions League last 16 qualifiers Schalke on Sunday as his second-half penalty save sealed his side's 1-0 win at Mainz.
After striker Jefferson Farfan put Schalke ahead with a goal after 30 minutes, there was drama when Neuer had a penalty awarded against him after he brought down Hungary striker Adam Szalai with just over 20 minutes left.
But he saved the day for the Royal Blues when he stopped the spot-kick from Mainz's Germany squad member Andre Schuerrle to give Schalke their fourth win from their last six league games.
Victory saw Schalke move up to 10th in the German league, while Mainz stay fourth as leaders Borussia Dortmund finish the weekend with an 11-point lead.
"We got off to a very good start," said relieved Schalke coach Felix Magath, whose striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar hit the post with his first-half penalty.
"We were clearly the better team and could have led 2-0 early on.
"We controlled things for large parts of the game and gave very little away."
Earlier Freiburg knocked defending champions Bayern Munich down to sixth following their 3-0 win over bottom side Borussia Moen-chengladbach.
Senegal striker Papiss Cisse netted either side of half-time to join Frankfurt's Greek star Theofanis Gekas as the league's joint top scorer with 13 goals from 16 games.
Meanwhile strugglers Stuttgart sacked Jens Keller and immediately named Bruno Labbadia as their third coach of the season.
Keller, 40, had taken over from former Tottenham Hotspur manager Christian Gross in October, but Stuttgart only managed to garner nine points from nine league games under his leadership.
Stuttgart's 2-1 defeat to Hanover on Friday left the 2007 German champions one off the bottom and was the final nail in Keller's coffin.
He becomes the third Bundesliga coach to lose his job this season after Gross and Zvonimir Soldo (Cologne).
Labbadia, a 44-year-old former German international, now takes over having been out of work since his sacking from Hamburg in April.
"I am aware of how hard the task will be, but I'm confident we'll achieve our goal," he said at a press conference.

Freiburg 3 (Cisse 19, 59, Barth 41) Borussia M'gladbach 0
