Full-time: Mainz 1-1 Borussia Mönchengladbach

A classic game of two halves at the Mewa Arena after Mainz dominated the first 45 minutes and had the lead through Jonathan Burkardt. But Gladbach emerged the better side after the break and levelled thanks to Nathan Ngoumou on the counter, after which the Foals looked the most likely to snatch a winner, especially after Dominik Kohr was sent off. It ended all square, though, earning Mainz a valuable point in their fight for survival.

All hands on deck

Mainz are being pushed right back here in the closing minutes. Gladbach looking the most likely to snatch a winner.

Kohr off!

He tangles with Wöber at a corner and then remonstrates with the referee, who pulls out a second yellow and the Mainz man is sent off for the sixth time in his Bundesliga career.

A real turnaround

It was 14-2 in Mainz's favour for shots in the first half, but now 6-3 for Gladbach since the restart.

Gladbach on the front foot

The flow of this game has completely changed since the equaliser and now it's Gladbach in the ascendency. Koné has a header saved and then Zentner is called into action to deny Ngoumou a second.

Kohr cautioned

Kohr's 10th yellow of this campaign and 84th of his career. He'll now serve a two-match ban.

Ngoumou brings Gladbach level!

Quite frankly out of nowhere, Borussia break after winning the ball through Ngoumou. He passes to Neuhaus to his right, who crosses into the box for the Frenchman to nod in and bring us back to all square.

Barreiro booked

The Mainz man stumbles as he tries to beat Wöber to a loose ball, clearing out the Gladbach man. It's his fifth yellow of the season and means he'll miss next week's trip to Munich.

Gladbach change

Netz is on for Lainer, which looks like it could mean a switch to a back three, with Netz and Honorat at wing-backs.

Half-time: Mainz 1-0 Gladbach

An excellent first 45 minutes from relegation-threatened Mainz. Burkardt's belting goal is the difference, but his side have been absolutely on top and deserve their lead. As it stands, the 05ers are moving out of the automatic drop zone.

45'

Almost from Lee

He times his run in behind perfectly to get onto a long ball, takes it down, turns and looks for the far corner. Elvedi manages to recover and divert it behind for a corner.
43'

Frustration from Ngoumou

He's had pretty much nothing to feed off today and is late here, catching Kohr on the ankle. First card of the game and in fact Ngoumou's first in the Bundesliga in his 43rd game.

Off the bar!

Again Amiri gets his delivery spot on from a corner. It causes the Gladbach defence all sorts of problems and in the end it's Koné who gets his head on it and is relieved as the ball bounces back off his own crossbar.

Widmer denied

Good dummy from Gruda to allow a pass through to Widmer. He goes hard and low across goal, but Nicolas gets a strong right hand to it.
18'

Close from Sepp

Amiri's had a couple of attempts at delivering set pieces today. He gets this one right with an in-swinging corner. Van den Berg gets up well and makes good contact with his head, but can't steer it on target.

Belting finish!

Space suddenly opens up centrally as Lee feeds Burkardt. He takes a touch on the edge of the D and then riffles a left-footed shot past Nicolas with a speed of 106 km/h. Big goal at the bottom.

All Mainz so far

The hosts may be second from bottom but they've made the more confident start, with Gladbach mostly sitting back. Spirits are high in general around Mainz this week after their U19s knocked Manchester City out of the UEFA Youth League. Two of the players from that success are on the bench today in Maxim Dal and Tim Müller.
Kick-off!

All set in Mainz

The two teams are out in the Rhineland sun as the hosts look to move out of the automatic drop zone.

Henriksen's view on Gladbach

"Gladbach have some really good players in their team. Even though they haven't played to their full potential enough this season, we have a lot of respect for them."

Seoane's view on Mainz

"We've got a clear picture of what awaits us from the last two games. The way Mainz play football has changed under their new head coach. They play with a lot of energy and press aggressively at home. If you take the last two games as a benchmark, then our task certainly hasn't become any easier."
