Full-time: Mainz 1-0 Augsburg
Mainz did all of the hard work in the first half, with the only goal of the game and two shots against the woodwork – including a penalty. They retreated a little in the second 45 minutes, preserving a precious three points and withstanding a late Augsburg onslaught which could not find an equaliser. A winning start to life as Mainz coach for Bo Henriksen, and a result which takes them to within a point of the relegation play-off position.

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Half-time: Mainz 1-0 Augsburg
A deserved lead for Mainz, who came to life as the half drew to a close and - after hitting the bar - took the lead, though they may live to regret not making it two with that penalty miss with the last kick of the half.

Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Crossbar!
The closest either side has come to breaking the deadlock! Mainz launch a fast counterattack down the right and Gruda plays in Lee, but he hammers his effort against the crossbar from close range!
