Result and announcement
Energie Cottbus defeated Schalke 04 by 4-1 at the Stadion der Freundschaft on 3 February 2001. Vasile Miriuta scored in the first minute and Sebastian Helbig added a second in the 42nd, giving the home side a 2-0 advantage at half-time in Bundesliga round 20.
Detail
Ebbe Sand reduced the deficit in the 54th minute, leaving Schalke only one goal behind. Joerg Boehme was then sent off in the 62nd. Cottbus restored their two-goal cushion through Andrzej Kobylanski before substitute Antun Labak completed the scoring. The home side therefore scored twice in each half, despite Schalke briefly narrowing the gap after the interval.
Context and dates
The DFB and Schalke's own historical record agree on the completed 4-1 result and 2-0 half-time score. They differ by a minute on Kobylanski's goal, so its exact minute is omitted. Eduard Geyer coached Cottbus opposite Huub Stevens, and the official attendance was 16,009. This report follows one completed match, with its exact historical date kept separate from the modern archive addition.
