Obasi's Schalke Zooms To UCL Knockout Round

Chinedu Obasi was not in action as Schalke snatched a place in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.


A solitary strike from substitute Max Meyer gave the German team a 1-0 win at Maribor.

Chelsea's defeat of Sporting Lisbon meant that a victory was enough for Roberto Di Matteo's side to qualify from Group G in second place.

The Bundesliga outfit had recovered from a 5-0 thrashing by the pool winners at Stamford Bridge to claim emphatic wins over Mainz and Stuttgart in domestic action.
