Schalke took a giant stride towards the last four of the UEFA Cup after coming from behind to beat Levski Sofia 3-1 in their quarter-final first-leg clash in Bulgaria.Goals from Gustavo Varela (48 minutes), Lincoln (69) and Gerald Asamoah (79) cancelled out a sixth-minute strike for Levski from former Bundesliga player Daniel Borimirov and put Mirko Slomka´s side into the driving seat.They will now look to complete the job in Gelsenkirchen next week but with three away goals and a two-goal cushion they can start preparing for a place in the last four.
