Right away Dzeko! Former Fiorentina player takes 20 minutes to make the difference at Schalke

Edin Dzeko’s memorable debut in the Schalke 04 jersey: it took little for the former Fiorentina man to make an immediate difference in Gelsenkirchen. Welcomed as a hero by the Schalke fans, who cheered him from the first training session, the Bosnian forward was decisive in the comeback against Kaiserslautern in the home match valid for the 19th day of 2.Bundesliga, which ended 2-2.

Dzeko started the match starting from the bench, but on the pitch his teammates struggled against Kaiserslautern, who scored on 61′ with Prtajin. Coach Muslic thus threw the former Fiorentina striker into the fray at 67′, but shortly afterwards, at 83’83’, Prtajin again froze the Gelsenkirchen crowd by making it 0-2.

The team was in the middle of the match.

It seemed all was lost, but it was precisely Dzeko who started the comeback: on the long throw from the back, the former Roma man hooked the ball and beat the opposing goalkeeper at the 87’87’, making the crowd explode. The Bosnian bomber immediately recovered the ball by charging his side, and after three minutes came Karaman’s final 2-2.

For Dzeko a debut to remember, Schalke is saved and remains at the top of the 2.Bundesliga standings on 39 points, +2 on Darmstadt.
