Loris Karius was presented with the Bundesliga’s Man of the Match award following Saturday’s (5/9) 0-0 draw at home against FC Bayern München – to no one’s surprise. The goalkeeper made several important saves to deny Bayern’s fearsome attack, keeping a clean sheet against a side that had scored 122 goals in 34 Bundesliga games last season. The Bavarians had scored in 58 competitive games in a row – including a 5-1 win against VfB Stuttgart last weekend – but could not find a way past the Schalke shot-stopper.
