Ruthless Red Devils Extend Dominance Over Struggling Schalke

At a buzzing VELTINS-Arena, Kaiserslautern delivered a masterclass, brushing aside Schalke 04 with a commanding 3-0 victory to further solidify their grip on this rivalry.

German-born Ghanaian forward Ragnar Ache wasted no time making an impact, putting the visitors ahead in the 12th minute. Connecting with a perfectly placed cross from Filip Kaloc, Ache unleashed a precise right-footed strike into the bottom left corner, claiming his ninth league goal of the campaign. Ache’s evening was cut short by an injury just before halftime, but his early heroics set the tone for a dominant display.

After the break, Daniel Hanslik doubled the lead with a thunderous long-range strike in the 52nd minute. Not content with just scoring, Hanslik turned provider nine minutes later, threading an assist for Daisuke Yokota, who finished with aplomb to seal the emphatic win.

While Schalke enjoyed a slight edge in possession (55%), their 17 attempts failed to produce a single clear-cut chance, underscoring Kaiserslautern’s defensive resilience and attacking efficiency.

This victory marks Kaiserslautern’s fourth win in their last six encounters with Schalke, further proving their ascendancy in this fixture. They now turn their focus to a December 7 showdown against Karlsruher SC, brimming with confidence and ambition.
