Schalke 04 Tops Bundesliga as Amine Harit Seals Late Victory Over Mainz

Schalke 04 has made the big leap by joining the podium with the same number of points (10) as leader Leipzig. The royal blues won against Mainz, thanks to the goals of Serrdar and Moroccan international Amine Harit. Mainz believed in it until the end of the match after the goal of Karim Onisiwo (74th), but it is a new defeat for the men of Sandro Schwarz who remain in 16th place in the Bundesliga.

After a difficult 2018-2019 season, the player has been reborn since the arrival of David Wagner at the head of the Ruhr club. "I feel the coach has confidence in me, and I’m happy to give it back to him on the pitch," said the Atlas Lion, at the end of the match, who also missed the 2019 CAN due to his poor form. In 4 Bundesliga appearances this season, Harit has 2 goals and as many assists.

"It’s probably the best goal of my career so far. It was fantastic for the team but also for me," the player said after the game.
