After the victory at the start against Cologne, Wolfsburg tied three defeats, and then coach Felix Magat came to visit a team he knows in detail.
"Wolves" defeated Šalka 2:1 at home, and the hero was Croatian striker Mario Mandžukić, who is most responsible for the turnaround at "Volksfagen Arena".
Schalke had previously taken the lead with a goal from Raul after only 13 minutes of play.
"It would have been bad if we had lost this match as well. It was important to react, to show that we have quality and I think we did it in great style. Because, in a league like this, it is not easy to get a turnaround," said Magat.
With this defeat, Schalke took a step back in the battle for the top of the table - Bayern and Werder, who share first place, now have three points more than Ralf Rangnik's team.
"This match could have gone differently and we are to blame for the defeat," said Rangnik.
Cologne did not win even in the third match at home this season. The third defeat for the Stale Solbakken team was inflicted by Nürnberg (2:1), who won two penalties in just four minutes - both of which were used by the Belgian Timi Simmons.
