The german traditional side Schalke 04 won for the first time the german Leaguecup. The "Knappen" celebrated a 1-0 victory in Leipzig`s renovated Zentralstadion vs. league concurrent Vfb Stuttgart.

The former Stuttgart player Kevin Kurany, who joined Schalke in june, scored the golden 1-0 in front of 40`500 fans allready in the 10th minute.

In the 67th minute saw the german national striker then the red card for getting violent. In the 92th minute his teammate Lincoln followed his example... the brazilian spitted at former Villa defender Hitzelsperger. But Stuttgart could not make use of this numerous advantage and so Kurany`s goal stayed to only one of this rude final.
