  "account": "BERLIN: Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich were thwarted by promoted Schalke to their first scoreless match since February 2025 in Saturday's game. The 67-match winning streak on top of the table came to an end. Schalke's goalkeeper Loris Karius, named man of the match, dismissed the post-game praise for his performance, directing it to his defenders instead. Bayern dominated possession but failed to create a clear chance as Schalke held out for their first points of the season. Harry Kane and Michael Olise came on as substitutes for Bayern, who will likely bid farewell to their home ground, Gelsenkirchen, before the season's end. Schalke, who had not beaten the Bavarian giants in nine years, celebrated their first win since 2011.",
