Schalke up to 4th in Germany

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, who wore a protective mask after breaking his nose a month ago, 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 saved 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.

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.

In France, Brazilian winger Nene scored one goal and made another as Paris Saint-Germain beat Auxerre 3-2 to climb up to second place in the French league and take some pressure off coach Antoine Kombouare. PSG had lost three and drawn one of its last four games.
