Suspended Ghana midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng played full throttle for a stubborn Schalke 04 side who fought back to hold Chelsea to a 1-1 draw in their Uefa Champions League Group G clash on Wednesday night.
The 27-year-old, who was making return to the London side in just under one year in the same competition, was booked in the 25th minute for a bad challenge. Boateng picked the booking, second Schalke player, after he halted Eden Hazard's jinking run from deep.
FC Schalke 04 made light of their injury problems by striking back to frustrate Chelsea FC who had been given an early lead through Cesc Fàbregas in their Group G opener.
Fàbregas was robbed deep in the opposition half and away went Draxler at pace. He fed Huntelaar who delivered his shot inside Thibaut Courtois' right-hand post to earn the visitors a valuable point.
Boateng is the only Ghanaian player who played in Wednesday night's game.
