Confirmed development
Schalke 04 defeated 1860 Munich 2-0 in Gelsenkirchen on 10 February 2001. Emile Mpenza scored both goals, breaking the deadlock in the 50th minute and adding the second in the 64th. The match had been goalless at half-time despite a dismissal that left the visitors short-handed before the break.
Details
Vidar Riseth was sent off in the first half. The official DFB record and Schalke's season history agree on the dismissal but differ by a minute, so no exact dismissal time is used here. Schalke goalkeeper Oliver Reck kept a clean sheet opposite Simon Jentzsch, with Huub Stevens and Werner Lorant coaching the two teams in front of 33,705 spectators.
Context and dates
The victory followed Schalke's 4-1 defeat at Energie Cottbus in the previous round. For 1860, the away loss came after a 1-0 home win over Borussia Dortmund. Mpenza's two second-half goals reversed those contrasting immediate results, giving Schalke the completed matchday-21 win. The archive follows the verified competition day and keeps it separate from this report's modern addition timestamp.
