SCHALKE 0-0 DORTMUND
Favre:"That was a very tough game for us, especially in the first half when Schalke pressed very well and generally played a very aggressive game. They're the best team in the division when it comes to tackling; they did that well. We could be satisfied with the 0-0 draw in the first half. They had two big goalscoring opportunities. We lost lots of balls under pressure,"
"The second period was a lot better. We finally started playing football after 55 or 60 minutes. The Schalke players could not keep up that tempo any longer but they continued to pose a threat with their runs in behind. We had three or four opportunities. We weren't far away from taking a 1-0 lead. By the end, we were happy to accept the 0-0 draw. That wasn't the case beforehand."
