Lee again!
It's for for Mainz and it's no less than they deserve given their overall performance. Lee, clearly feeling confident after his first, is left the ball on the edge of the box and brilliantly curls in a second.

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.

Darmstadt building
Darmstadt are keeping their cool despite their season being on the line. The away side have a strong spell of possession but it comes to nothing. Next time they need to make it pay.

Home dominance
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).

Huge goal!
Gruda makes it two for Mainz, and it's no less than they deserve. That could be a mammoth goal in the relegation fight.

A boost elsewhere
Cologne go 1-0 down to Bochum, which gives both of these teams room to make ground on their relegation rivals.

An opening?
Kohr stops a counter with his hand and may be lucky to get aay with just a yellow. Darmstadt still have a free kick in a promising position.

Lee cleared
VAR took a look at Lee's scrappy assist for a potential hand ball, but it's all good. Darmstadt manager Lieberknecht isn't happy though, and gets a yellow card for his protests.

Mainz finally get their opener
It looks like the home side have squandered another chance with a clear header from Lee from a corner, but Hanche-Olsen is there to prod in the loose ball for a desivered lead.

Lee Jae-Sung should have Mainz a goal up but his first time effort in the six-yard box is sent over the bar.

Back the other way!
After almost going behind, Darmstadt attack from a corner and look set to score but Zentner brilliantly rushes out to stop the counter.

What a chance!
Burkardt pulls his shirt up over his face after finding space in the Darmstadt box for a glorious chance, but Schuhen leaves him stunned.

We're underway
It's kick off in Mainz as this huge six pointer gets started.
A huge game for both teams
Three points for either side here would be gargantuan. Darmstadt sit bottom of the Bundesliga on 14 points, with Mainz in the promotion/relegation spot on 20. Cologne are between them on 19, and with seven games to play, anything other than victory could prove disastrous for both sides.
Three changes for each
Both managers make triple changes for this relegation six-pointer. Mainz's Bo Henriksen brings Kohr, Gruda and Lee for Guilavogui, Ajorque and Onisiwo. For Darmstadt, Torsten Lieberknecht opts for Franjic, Bader over Müller, Gjasula and Karic.

Darmstadt's goal
Bundesliga safety is very much on the agenda between these sides, with basement boys Darmstadt keen to reduce the gap to 16th-placed Mainz to three points with victory. That's a tall order, however, considering The Lilies are winless in 20.
