Di Matteo delight as Huntelaar earns Schalke victory


BERLIN (Reuters) - Klaas-Jan Huntelaar converted Schalke 04's only real chance of the game as his lacklustre side scraped past Augsburg 1-0 on Friday to climb to seventh in the Bundesliga, seven points behind leaders Bayern Munich.

It was the second win in three league games for coach Roberto Di Matteo, who took over from Jens Keller this month, but his team looked far from convincing ahead of the trip to Lisbon to face Sporting in the Champions League next week.
