Christopher Antwi-Adjei lit up the VELTINS-Arena with a lively display and a crucial assist as Schalke 04 opened their Bundesliga 2 campaign with a 2-1 win over Hertha BSC on Friday evening.

The Ghanaian winger, who started and played 77 minutes, thrilled home fans with his pace and precision.

His finest moment came in the 23rd minute when he delivered a perfect corner that found Nikola Katic, who rose high to head home Schalke's second of the night.

Moussa Sylla had opened the scoring earlier in the 16th minute, tucking in Peter Remmert's low pass to give the Royal Blues a dream start.
