Mainz 1-1: There is not even a win now for the Westphalia team, which is far from the top

Dortmund couldn’t get back on track against Mainz either, drawing 1-1 at Signal Iduna Park in Round 16 of the Bundesliga.

The match witnessed “two pictures” as Edin Terzic’s team imposed its pace, while in the second half it was the visitors who stood better on the field.

Payno Gittens hit the crossbar in the 8th minute, while Brand sent the ball into the net in the 29th minute from a direct free kick. Two minutes later, Sabitzer wasted another great opportunity when he sent it over the crossbar.

Mainz equalized in stoppage time with a header from Van den Berg in the 43rd minute. In the second half, the Westphalian team’s performance declined and they failed to achieve victory in the end, leaving them for the sixth consecutive match (in all competitions) away from victories.

Dortmund raised its score to 27 points, while Mainz is in the last group with ten points.
