Schalke beats Augsburg to go fourth

Klaas Jan Huntelaar scored once and set up another goal on Sunday as Schalke beat Augsburg 3-1 to rise to fourth in the Bundesliga

The Dutch striker used his heel to score the opening goal—and his 13th of the season—in the 16th minute past goalkeeper Mohamed Amsif from close range after Teemu Pukki had combined with Christian Fuchs.
Huntelaar headed on a corner for Raul Gonzalez to make it 3-1 in the 85th for his seventh league goal of the season.
Amsif should have stopped Fuchs' speculative effort from the left wing in the 66th, after Augsburg's Sascha Moelders had equalized in the 48th with his first goal in 12 games.
Augsburg, which has only scored as many goals as Huntelaar, remains bottom of the table.
Earlier, Hamburger SV striker Jose Paulo Guerrero scored in a 2-0 win over Nuremberg to stretch the club's unbeaten league run to seven games, and continue the revival under new coach Thorsten Fink.
Guerrero scored in the 24th minute, when he beat Timmy Simons to a long ball from goalkeeper Jaroslav Drobny before lifting his shot over Raphael Schaefer in the Nuremberg goal from a tight angle.
Marcell Jansen sealed the win in the 62nd, when Goekhan Toere combined with Ivo Ilicevic to elude three Nuremberg defenders before playing the Hamburg midfielder through. Jansen had only Schaefer to beat.
After two wins in a row, Hamburg climbs three points above the relegation zone to 11th, while Nuremberg drops to 15th, one point above the playoff spot.
On Saturday, Bayern Munich took advantage of Borussia Dortmund's 1-1 draw at Borussia Moenchengladbach by beating Werder Bremen 4-1 to reclaim the Bundesliga lead by one point.
Nuremberg players complained that Guerrero pulled Simons back before scoring.
“He's not looking at the ball, he's only looking at me,” Simons said. “It shouldn't happen. A foul is a foul. It's obvious.”
Guerrero, who struck the outside of the post from close range in the 11th, disagreed.
“It's not a foul,” the Peru striker said.
Nuremberg striker Thomas Pekhart hit the crossbar with a header in the 38th, before hitting the post with another 20 minutes later.
The visitors kept pressing to the end: Alexander Esswein shooting wide in the 68th, Jens Hegeler going close in the 71st, before Drobny pulled off a great save to prevent Gojko Kacar scoring an own goal in injury time.
“We displayed a very good away performance but failed again to score,”Nuremberg coach Dieter Hecking said. “For all the effort, the effectiveness is simply missing.”
