Schalke win and ended the winning streak of Bayer Leverkusen.

Schalke ended Bayer Leverkusen's winning begin to the Bundesliga on Saturday with a 2-0 win that relieves the pressure on coach Jens Keller following the club's poor league begin.

Marco Hoeger scored against the run of play for the house side in the 30th, when he got a slight touch with the back of his head to Jefferson Farfan's free kick.Son Heung-min came closest for Leverkusen in the second half, but was denied by a good save from Timo Hildebrand, before new signing Dennis Aogo called Bernd Leno into action at the other stop.

Farfan secured his side's first win of the season with a penalty in the 83rd, after he had dusted himself off from Emir Spahic's poorly executed challenge in the area.

Kevin-Prince Boateng started for Schalke following his switch from AC Milan the day before.

The loss ended Leverkusen's club record eight-game winning streak in the Bundesliga.
