FRANKFURT, Germany -- Schalke fell to a fifth straight loss for its worst start in a Bundesliga season after wasting an early lead and having a penalty denied in stoppage time to go down 2-1 at Hoffenheim on Sunday.Hoffenheim earned its first win of the season after four straight draws when Lukas Rupp netted the winning goal in the 41st. Earlier, Andrej Kramaric had canceled out Eric Maxim Choupo-Motings goal in the fourth.Deep into stoppage time, the ball hit the arm of Hoffenheims Kerem Demirbay, but calls for a penalty were ignored.It was clearly a hand ball, said Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann.But Schalke players refused to blame the referee for the loss.It wasnt the referee, we lost it today, captain Benedikt Hoewedes said. We are making too many mistakes and thats what happens when you dont have confidence.The defeat increases the pressure on Schalkes new coach, Markus Weinzierl, who was brought in with a reputation as one of the most talented young coaches in Germany.Schalke was also one of the busiest clubs on the transfer market but the new signings have failed to make an impact so far. Central defender Naldo was left on the bench, with Matija Nastasic taking his place. Nastasic was outplayed on both Hoffenheim goals.I dont know what the problem is, but its getting tougher and tougher every week, said Schalke goalkeeper Ralf Faehrmann.---COLOGNE 1, RB LEIPZIG 1Despite a hostile reception, newcomer Leipzig earned a 1-1 draw in Cologne as both teams stayed undefeated.Cologne fans blocked the bus bringing the Leipzig team to the stadium and the match kicked off 15 minutes late. Leipzig is supported by an Austrian energy drink maker and rose through the minor leagues to get promoted. Many Bundesliga fans are hostile to the side because of its commercial links.Leipzigs new signing, Scottish teenager Oliver Burke, made his first start and scored after five minutes with a finely taken shot that was slightly deflected.Cologne tied the match in the 25th through Yuya Osako, who shook off two defenders before unleashing a left-foot shot into the roof of the net.Adidas Nmd r2 Herren Sale .

The reigning GP3 champion is contracted to Manors engine supplier Mercedes and will cut short his first season in the DTM -- as well as a Renault testing contract -- to fulfill his ultimate ambition of racing in F1.No [I did not expect the step to F1 to come so early], not at all, he said. But thanks to all the tests and my preparation this year, I feel ready for it. Its helped me a lot.But I never thought that I would be offered this opportunity quite so soon. At the same time, Im very happy about it and Im looking forward immensely to my first Formula One race weekend in Belgium.Ocon is following in the career footsteps of new Manor teammate Pascal Wehrlein by making the step from the DTM to F1, but does so with just four points to his name in the German touring car championship. He believes better results were just around the corner, buut says he could not pass up the opportunity to compete in F1.ddddddddddddYes, Im a bit sad that I cannot complete the DTM adventure. Ive kept raising my level of performance in the course of the season and gained a lot of experience. My pace has been steadily improving. So from that perspective, its a pity that Im unable to finish the season with the team.But its not possible to compete simultaneously in both championships. Consequently, I had to decide, and the decision went in favour of Formula One.Ocon revealed he has been training hard since he learned of his promotion.It was nice to relax on vacation [over August] with friends and it helped take my mind off things, but since the announcement was made, of course, Ive also been training hard.The training isnt all that different from in the DTM. Im preparing as thoroughly as possible so that Ill be ready for my first F1 race weekend. Before going to Spa, I will meet up with my new team again and well go through all the details together. ' ' '
