What a save from Zentner!
A corner for Hoffenheim is played to Nsoki, who out-jumps Kohr, glancing a header towards the back post. It looks for all the world that it'll go in, but Zentner somehow manages to get across to tip it round the post.
82'
In from Nebel
Amiri plays him down the right channel. His attempted cross is blocked behind for a Mainz corner. Amiri takes, it falls to Mwene at the back post, but Hoffenheim get across to block his shot.
81'
Tidy from Mainz
Sano escapes the Hoffenheim press excellently with a deft flick to Widmer, who also does well in a tight space. Ultimately, Amiri draws the foul and Mainz retain possession.

Hložek shoots
A half-chance for the visitors. Bischof wins the ball high up the pitch and lays it off to Hložek. He takes one touch to get the ball out of his feet, before shooting from outside the box. It's a powerful effort and on target, but Zentner isn't troubled.
64'
Prass crosses
The full-back gets to the byline and lofts one towards the back-post, looking for Kramarić, but Bell is there to clear the danger.
60'
Another bicycle kick
This time it's Bruun Larsen who tries it. It's a speculative effort from the edge of the box, and it's high and wide from the Hoffenheim man.
54'
In from Gendrey
The sub attempts a cross, but it's too close to Zentner, who catches the ball unchallenged.

Burkardt attempts the spectacular
Mainz are not showing any signs of slowing after the restart. Nebel wins the ball high up the pitch. He plays it to Amiri, who puts in a high cross first-time. Burkardt attempts the bicycle kick, but the ball makes contact with his shin and it's off target.

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).

Great stop by Baumann
A Burkardt cross is cleared poorly by Kadeřábek only as far as Mwene. He has time to pick his spot, opting for power inside the box, but Baumann gets a strong hand to it to parry. It falls to Mwene again, who tries a second time, but this time Hoffenheim players are back to block.
37'
Nebel into Burkardt
The youngster plays a good cross into Burkardt, who takes it down well in the box. He can't make space for a shot, and attempts to lay a teammate up on the edge of the box, but Hoffenheim pounce on the loose ball and clear.

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).

Good move from Stach
The midfielder gets high up the right flank, managing to beat three Mainz defenders with a little flick inside. He has the opportunity to cross, and does, but it's too close to Zentner, who gathers at the front post.

Nebel shoots
Mainz are running riot here. Lee plays it to Burkardt, who lays it off to Nebel. He beats two men on the edge of the box before shooting, but his shot is blocked behind for a corner.

Burkardt with a beauty!
What a screamer from the captain. A throw-in from the left side for Mainz is then switched out to the right to Nebel. He touches it down into the path of Burkardt, who takes one touch before hammering it into the top-right corner from outside the box. Baumann never stood a chance, and Burkardt has himself a brace.
Goal probability

Bruun Larsen misses
First real chance for Hoffenheim. Kramarić whips a cross into the box from the left flank. It falls to Tabaković, whose scuffs his attempt. The ball then comes to Bruun Larsem, who rushes his finish, sending it high and wide from inside 10 yards.

Mwene booked
The wide man picks up the first yellow of the game, after a rash challenge on the edge of the Hoffenheim penalty area to prevent a counterattack.
13'
Corner for Mainz
A fantastic attacking move from Mainz. From the half-way line, they advance up the pitch with one-touch passing. It falls to Lee, whose cross is blocked behind for a corner. Mainz take it short to Amiri, who fires a driven cross to the back post, but Bell can't quite connect with the header.
8'
Early dominance
Mainz are showing no signs of slowing. A ball is whipped into Sano who glances a header goalwards, forcing Baumann to make a superb save. The home side are awarded a corner. It's played into Sano again, but this time Hoffenheim get it clear.

Burkardt opens the scoring!
What a start for Mainz. Kohr finds himself in an advanced position again. He plays a ball to the byline for Lee to chase. The winger gets there and whips a low cross to the back post where Burkardt is waiting to finish.

Kick-off!
Three's a crowd
Ralf Rangnick and Sebastian Hoeneß are the only two former Hoffenheim managers to have won their opening two Bundesliga games at the TSG helm. A win would allow Christian Ilzer to join this elite club too, but can he break down this very resilient Mainz outfit?
More on those teams
Christian Ilzer makes two changes to his side that beat Leipzig on his Bundesliga debut. Akpoguma comes in for Arthur Chaves, who isn't selected today following his side's 3-0 defeat away to Braga midweek. Bruun Larsen, who was the hero last week, replaces Bülter, who also isn't selected. Bo Henriksen names an unchanged side from Mainz's last outing: a 3-0 away victory over Kiel.

Good omen for Ilzer
Last weekend's thrilling win in Christian Ilzer's first match in charge of Hoffenheim was the first time the club have won despite three times falling behind in 555 Bundesliga matches.
