Barkok denied
Barkok's shot from inside the area is blocked and loops into the grateful arms of Hradecky.
87'
Stanišić game time
Bayer's Croatia international, Josip Stanišić - on loan from Bayern Munich - is sent on for the final few minutes. Nadiem Amiri is also subbed in.
84'
Mainz change
The hosts make one more swap with Marco Richter on. On another day, the man he replaces, Karim Onisiwo, might have had a goal or two.
80'
El Ghazi tries one
El Ghazi picks up the loose ball and arcs a shot from distance just past the far post. Hradecky probably had that covered.
80'
Double swap
No goals for Victory Boniface this week, the striker comes off to be replaced by Adam Hložek. Granit Xhaka is also exiting this one to be replaced by Robert Andrich.
76'
Ajorque on
Bo Svensson throws Ludovic Ajorque into the mix to see if the big striker can make a dent in the scoreline.
75'
Boniface denied
Finally Boniface finds a way through. The Nigerian has time to pick his spot but he's swiped at it a bit and Zentner can make the save.
74'
Gruda booked
Gruda goes in late on Palacios and that's a booking for the Mainz man.

Desperate clearance
Here's the problem for Mainz: Leverkusen are now in party mood while the hosts' heads have understandably dropped. Adli gets another wicked cross in towards the far post. This one is cleared at the last.
70'
Mainz changes
Hard to know what more Bo Svensson could have done here. Mainz have been good, but are somehow 3-0 down. Time for a triple swap. Krauß, El Ghazi and Barkok are on.
66'
Clinical Bayer
Boniface goes down under a challenge on the left but that allows substitute Adli to scamper free. The cross is sent in towards Palacios, who misses the ball and looks to his right to see Hofmann arriving. The summer signing from Gladbach thwacks it first time and the ball flies in. Leverkusen are home free.

Bayer change
Florian Wirtz - who has been pretty anonymous in this game - is replaced by Adli.

Set-piece specialist
Grimaldo scores his second direct free kick this season having found the net in similar fashion against Bayern Munich recently.
60'
Grimaldo the Great!
Pick that out! Grimaldo's free kick zips over the wall and flashes past Zentner's outstretched hand before hitting the back of the net. That's a beauty. Leverkusen double their lead.

Fernandes booked
Tapsoba slides a slick pass through for Boniface, who is clattered to the floor by Fernandes. Free kick in a dangerous position and a yellow card for Fernandes.
56'
Gruda threat
Gruda goes down in the Leverkusen box under a challenge from Kossounou. The home fans are on their feet but the referee spotted an earlier infringement and the visitors get a free kick and a chance to breathe.
53'
Awsome Hradecky
Onisiwo does well to win the corner and the 31-year-old forward is there again from the set-piece to power a header at the target. Hradecky pulls off an outstanding save to keep Bayer in front. Incredible stop.
50'
Mainz back on the ball
The game has quickly shifted back into ints first-half pattern with Mainz moving the ball about and Leverkusen looking a touch out of sorts.
47'
B04 sharper
Wirtz and Frimpong start with a lot more purpose this half. Could be that Xabi Alonso's half-time words are having an immediate effect.
46'
Peeeep!
Mainz get us going in the second half ....

Break time
The referee brings an entertaining first half to a close. Leverkusen lead thanks to a Sepp van den Berg o.g. Despite being behind, Bo Svensson will be quite proud of how his team have largely kept high-flying Leverkusen at bay. Xabi Alonso, meanwhile, might opt for a strategy change at the break. Don't go anywhere!

Boniface quiet
Leverkusen's in-form forward has only managed to get on the ball 12 times in this first half. That's fewer times than any other outfield player.

Bell goes wild
Bell batters the ball out of the stadium, or almost does. A wild shot from the Mainz man stands in contrast to Mainz's generally flowing, composed build-up play so far in this game. Is frustration setting in for the hosts?
30'
Gruda has a go
Gruda bounds forward and drives a low, left-footed shot at the target from distance. Hradecky is there again, this time diving to connect with his outstretched hand. Solid stop. Leverkusen quickly smash the loose ball clear.

Onisiwo attempt
A fine, angled effort at goal from the Austrian is well dealt with by Hradecky, who dives across and holds on.

Bell opportunity
The ball pings around a bit inside the B04 box and suddenly Bell is there to try and nudge goalwards. That's gone wide.
20'
B04 happy campers
Leverkusen will be delighted with that as they hadn't looked particularly threatening at all in this game. It was Mainz's first own goal since January 2022.
19'
Oh Mainz
Just when the hosts looked to be hitting their stride, an own goal has gone and scuppered Mainz's solid start to the game. Frimpong's centre is menacing, leading van den Berg to slide in and look to make contact. He does, but can only divert into his own net. Ouch.
15'
Xhaka on the edge
The Leverkusen man climbs all over the back of Onisiwo and the referee comes across to have a word with the Swiss midfielder, who has already been booked, lest we forget.

Grimaldo sighter
Back up the other end and Leandro Barreiro concedes a free kick. It's a fair bit out and in front of the D but Grimaldo fancies a pop nonetheless. The ex-Benfica player wellies one but Robin Zentner has that covered all the way and the goalkeeper watches the ball fizz over the bar.
7'
Mainz in the mood
Home coach Bo Svensson is on his feet applauding a tidy move from the hosts involving Gruda, Lee and Onisiwo. Mainz are playing some good stuff and have a passionate home crowd right behind them. Just what the hosts need.
5'
Fernandes goes close
Fernandes curls the subsequent free kick into the side-netting and the crowd on the far side think it's in. Cheers go up momentarily. Not this time, 05ers.
3'
Xhaka warning
Ooof, Xhaka is THIS close to conceding a penalty with a follow through challenge on Onisiwo, who gives it the roll around on the floor. The referee orders a free kick just outside the area and here comes the yellow card for Xhaka.
2'
Palacios in pain
Lee thwacks Palacios on the calf and the B04 man collapses in a heap. That stung. The Argentinian grimaces and gets back to his feet. On we go.

キックオフ
We're all set
So, can Mainz pick up their first Bundesliga win since April or will Xabi Alonso's footballing machine make it seven victories in eight games in all competitions this season? We're about to find out?
Teams in tunnel
Plenty of high fives in the players' tunnel as both sides get ready to make their way out into the stadium. The announcer is reading through the teams all the while. It's almost time!
You'll never walk alone
That world famous club anthem has been adopted by Mainz and fans of the 05ers are belting it out as we await the appearance of both sides.
Glorious day!
The pitch at the MEWA Arena is getting a good soaking from the sprinklers as the sun shines down on the Rhineland-Palatinate. It's the prefect day for football!
