The 39-year-old Bosnian, on loan from Fiorentina, came on after 67 minutes in the 2-2 draw against Kaiserslautern on Sunday and became the oldest goalscorer in Bundesliga 2 20 minutes later with his goal to make it 1-2.

With his debut goal, Dzeko initiated Schalke's late comeback. Despite their third winless game in a row, the promotion hopefuls remain top of the table. Swiss players Adrian Gantenbein (Schalke/not in the squad) and Jan Elvedi (substitute) did not play.
