Schalke's fans stage silent protest

Fed up with Schalke's lacklustre performances in the Bundesliga this year, their long-suffering fans decided to remain silent in the match against Bayern for the first 19 minutes and four seconds (1904 is their founding year).

Even when Peter Lövenkrands scored after 13 minutes, there was only a muted response. Six minutes later, the protest was over and the stadium suddenly erupted.

Visibly shaken by the deafening noise, Bayern let Levan Kobiashvili immediately add a second in the 20th.

However, it was all ultimately futile, as Bayern came back to draw 2-2.
