BERLIN — Schalke 04 squandered a two-goal advantage to settle for a 2-2 draw at bottom club Cologne on Sunday but stayed two points clear in second place in the Bundesliga with three games left.

The Royal Blues went ahead with goals from Breel Embolo and Yevhen Konoplyanka but Cologne crawled back with Leonardo Bittencourt cutting the deficit in the 26th minute and Marcel Risse securing an unexpected point in the 83rd.

Schalke, who also hit the woodwork, are on 56 points, two ahead of third-placed Borussia Dortmund and seven in front of fifth-placed Hoffenheim, with the top four qualifying for the Champions League group stage.

Despite the point, Cologne still need a miracle to avoid the drop, remaining in last place on 22 points, eight off the relegation playoff spot.

Earlier, Augsburg made sure of another season in the top division with a 2-0 victory over Mainz 05, who are anchored in 15th on 30 points, along with VfL Wolfsburg in 14th and 16th-placed Freiburg.

Lo Celso gives PSG

1-0 win at Bordeaux

French champions Paris St Germain ground out a smash and grab 1-0 win at Girondins Bordeaux after midfielder Giovani Lo Celso struck against the run of play in their lively Ligue 1 clash on Sunday.

Lo Celso drove in a rebound through a forest of legs from the edge of the penalty area in the 76th minute after visiting keeper Alphonse Areola had pulled off a string of superb saves at the other end.

Areola kept out a Lukas Lerager piledriver and a close-range header by center back Pablo before Lo Celso pounced on a half-cleared corner to give PSG a barely deserved victory.

PSG, who secured their fifth league title in six years last weekend with games to spare after a 7-1 mauling of last season's champions Monaco, looked flat in the second half after missing some good chances in the opening period.

Bordeaux keeper Benoit Costil kept out a rasping Lo Celso volley in the 13th minute and Kylian Mbappe blazed a shot on the turn over the bar, before Javier Pastore fired inches off target.

Earlier on Sunday, Nice kept alive their hopes of clinching a Europa League berth after a Pierre Lees-Melou goal gave them a 1-0 win over Montpellier while St Etienne came from behind to beat struggling Troyes 2-1 thanks to a Robert Beric double.

Van Persie goal helps

Feyenoord lift Dutch Cup

Robin van Persie rolled back the years with a superbly taken goal to help Feyenoord to a 3-0 win over AZ Alkmaar in the Dutch Cup final on Sunday.

Van Persie chipped the ball over the goalkeeper from an acute angle with his right foot in the 57th minute for Feyenoord's second goal of a comprehensive performance at De Kuip. Danish international Nicolai Jorgensen had opened the scoring shortly before the half hour mark.

It's a first major domestic honor in the Netherlands for the 34-year-old, who returned to his Dutch football in January after spells at Arsenal, Manchester United and Fenerbahce.

Jens Toornstra added the third goal deep in stoppage time at the end of the 100th Dutch Cup final, interrupted early by flares set off by the rival sets of fans and fireworks thrown onto the field. — Agencies
