Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar saved Schalke’s blushes yesterday in a 1-1 draw at Augsburg in the German league.

The title was decided on Saturday when Borussia Dortmund were confirmed as champions for the eighth time in their history with a 2-0 win at home to Borussia Moen-chengladbach.

But while Dortmund will finish top with Bayern Munich second, third place, and an automatic Champions League place, is still to be decided between fourth-placed Gladbach and Schalke, who have a two-point lead in third.

Huntelaar’s 38th-minute strike cancelled out Augsburg’s opener after just six minutes from defender Sebastian Langkamp and was the Dutchman’s 25th of the season to make him joint leading goal-scorer alongside Bayern’s Mario Gomez.

Augsburg remain 15th in the table, four points away from the drop zone with two games left.
