Borussia's U19s chalked up a 2-0 derby win in the battle for the West German Championship. Jakob Bruun scored both goals against an FC Schalke 04 that had remained undefeated until today's match, his first a headed effort after a fine cross from Felix Passlack, his second a directly converted free kick from a distance of 18 metres.

Youth Development Coordinator Lars Ricken was gushing in his praise after a first class tactical showing from the boys with captain Dzenis Burnic serving as the fulcrum: "The team's performance can not be praised highly enough after a gruelling seven days including a mid-week round of fixtures". Consequently, BVB lie now only two points behind the Bundesliga table leaders Schalke 04. (wiwi)
