Ful-time: Augsburg 2-1 Mainz
Augsburg came from behind to beat Mainz thanks to two goals from Ermin Demirovic. A Ludovic Ajorque header put Mainz in front, and they thought they had levelled when Stefan Bell turned another effort in, but a VAR consultation saw an earlier offside and the goal did not stand. It sparked the hosts into life and Demirovic struck twice before the break to earn them the points, which they had to work hard for after Arne Engels was shown a straight red card on the hour mark – once again after VAR consultation.

Ding-dong!
Goal ruled out for Mainz! Confusion in the Augsburg six-yard box and Ajorque stretches to turn the ball against the post. The ball trickles along the goal line where Bell turns it in, but a check of the build-up shows an offside and the goal does not count!

Ajorque rises highest to meet a sweet cross from the right and his header has enough power and precision on it to beat Finn Dahmen's outstretched arm, and the guests take an early lead!

On-going hangover
Mainz are winless in nine Bundesliga matches since beating Bayern Munich on 22 April. It's their longest barren run of the Bo Svensson era. The 05ers have claimed just two points in that time.
