Incredible scenes!
Right at the death, substitute Karim Onisiwo equalised, squeezing a shot past Flekken to send the home crowd wild! The goal also means he is the club's joint-top goalscorer in their Bundesliga history!

Fantastic reflexes!
Zentner does brilliantly to deny Höler an almost certain goal as he keeps Mainz in the game.
87'
Close!
Weiper, one of Mainz's best youngsters, doesn't get enough on his volley on the stretch, giving a grateful Flekken a comfortable save.

Bundesliga debut
Kenneth Schmidt comes on for his first Bundesliga appearance - not an easy game to join with Freiburg looking to defend their slender lead!

Bad omens
Mainz have not yet won this season after going behind (three draws, eight defeats). There's still time to change that, but the clock is ticking.

Freiburg pressing for a second
Doan is the next to try and double his team's advantage, after scoring the first, but Zentner easily holds his effort. Still, it's another example of the visitors' desire to put the game beyond Mainz.

Grifo chance!
Grifo has been quiet so far, but Zentner needs to be alert to keep out his long-ranged strike.

Close!
Mainz look for an immediate response, and Stach's effort is not far away from the top corner as it goes narrowly over.

Doan strikes!
Doan takes advantage of a Mainz mix-up to give Freiburg the lead! Zentner and Fernandes fail to communicate properly, allowing the winger to nip in and pass into an empty net.

Ingvartsen denied!
The forward tries his luck with a free-kick 25 yards out, but Flekken does well to parry the ball to safety.

A chance for Mainz to trouble Flekken once more from this set-piece...

Evenly-matched
Not many chances for either side to write home about, but both teams have kept their shape well and clearly do not want to give anything anyway to their opponents.

Not much in it so far
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Ajorque scores!!! But....
Ajorque has the ball in the back of the net after slotting past Flekken with composure! However, he was in an offside position when he received the ball and the goal, therefore, doesn't stand.
Plenty for Freiburg to play for

Ajorque the target
The hosts are looking to find the January signing in the middle at every opportunity. Another cross into the box, this time from Lee, is cut out before it can find the forward.

Huge save!
A brilliant curling cross into the area from Caci finds Ajorque, but his header it saved by Flekken at full stretch. Chances for both teams to break the deadlock already!
6'
Almost the opener!
The ball falls kindly, and perhaps unexpectedly, to Sildillia in the area, but a great last-ditch block from Hanche-Olsen keeps the effort out.

Super sub to the fore?
The Bundesliga's all-time best super sub, Nils Petersen, has scored six times in 12 games against Mainz.
Bogey team
Mainz have more wins against Freiburg (14) than they have against any other Bundesliga team. The Black Forest club have only emerged victorious in one of their 13 Bundesliga visits to Mainz (in January 2020).
Something's gotta give
Mainz and Freiburg are both unbeaten in their last five Bundesliga outings. Mainz have won their last four home games, while Freiburg have kept clean sheets in their two most recent away fixtures.
