BERLIN: Former German international striker Kevin Kuranyi grabbed a 55th-minute winner to fire Schalke 04 back to the top of the Bundesliga on Friday in a 2-1 win over Stuttgart.
The victory gave Schalke a one-point lead over Bayern Munich who face relegation-threatened Freiburg on Saturday.
It was Schalke's third successive win and their eighth at home this season while Kuranyi's timely strike was his 14th of the campaign.
The Ruhr-based side opened the scoring just after the break through Edu but Serdar Tasci took advantage of a Schalke defensive mix-up to level for Stuttgart in the 50th minute.
Schalke, coached by Felix Magath, are trying to win a first league title since 1958 while Stuttgart suffered only their second defeat since former Tottenham boss Christian Gross took over in December. - AFP/de
