Looking to kick off Roberto Di Matteo's reign as manager with three points, Schalke took an early lead against Hertha Berlin on Saturday courtesy of an excellent header from none other than Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
After Julian Draxler launched a dangerous cross into the box, Huntelaar proceeded to blast a powerful header past Thomas Kraft from roughly 10 yards out.

Given recent history, however, it might not have been a good thing for Schalke that Huntelaar was the one to score.
1 - Huntelaar scores his 5th goal for S04 in competitive matches. But they didn't score more goals when he scored (2 D, 2 L). Cursed.
