Schalke 0-3 Bayern Munich: James Rodriguez Scores First Bayern Goal in Comfortable Victory

Tonight saw a huge Bundesliga game take place, as two of it's biggest teams Schalke and Bayern Munich went face-to-face at the Veltins-Arena.

Both teams have started the season relatively well, with both having picked up 9 points from their opening four games, with the winner of this fixture knowing it would give them an early position at the top of the table.

Bayern came into the game as favourites and lived up to that billing by starting on the front foot. Sebastian Rudy had a fierce shot saved in the 8th minute, by Ralf Fahrmann from 30 yards out, with the Schalke keeper forced to make a fine save high to his left to palm the ball away.
