So close!
Space opens up for Kabadayı, who tries to curl a shot around two defenders and into the corner. It has Zentner worried enough that he dives full stretch, but the ball goes just wide of the post.

Do they stay as they were now that Augsburg have lost their numerical advantage? The home side are still a goal behind, so need to push for an equaliser in the final quarter of an hour.

Mainz score again!
Incredible! The smart money would have been on Augsburg scoring the next goal but instead it's the 10 men of Mainz who do so! Barkok floats a cross in from the left and Burkardt ghosts in at the back post to prod over the line at full stretch.

Mainz goals on the horizon?
Augsburg have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their past nine competitive matches, while Mainz have found the back of the net in each of their previous 11 Bundesliga outings.
Best start in four seasons
While Augsburg have only won one of their opening three games, their four-point haul at this point of the season is their best return across the past four campaigns. Only twice in their 13-year Bundesliga history have they amassed seven point after four fixtures, so they will be looking to make it three here.
