Stefan Bell of Mainz (2-L) celebrates after scoring
 Mainz defeated Schalke 2-0 thanks to a double
from defender Stefan Bell Friday to move up to eighth in the
Bundesliga and into the race for the European spots.
Bell was perfectly placed to open the scoring from close range in the
27th minute when the ball fell to him in the six-yard box from
Johannes Geis's corner. Just moments later the same player towered
highest at the back-post at another corner to power home a header.
Schalke had started the stronger team but home keeper Loris Karius
denied Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Joel Matip.
Mainz are now one point behind seventh, which could offer a Europa
League place depending on the outcome of the German Cup. Schalke
remain fifth but are 12 points behind Borussia Moenchengladbach in
the Champions League play-off spot.
League leaders Bayern Munich can move closer to a 25th German
championship when they host Hertha Berlin in Saturday's late game.
