FSV Mainz 05 has qualified for the league with an offensive spectacle in the playoff second leg of the Conference League. The Bundesliga club managed the hoped-for catch-up at home at home 4-1 (3: 1) against the Norwegian record champion Rosenborg Trondheim. The Mainz had lost the first leg 1-2.
Defender Stefan Bell earned the 05er in the 28th minute. Jae-Sung Lee responded to the equalization of the guests by Dino Islamovic (34th) by head (43.) and striker Nelson Weiper by direct acceptance (44.) with a double strike. After the break, national player Nadiem Amiri (58th) provided the final score in front of 30,000 spectators with a deflected shot and thus also for the determination of the Rheinhessen.
Who the FSV meets in the leagueapse will decide in Monaco this Friday at 1:00 p.m. Six opponents are drawn to the Mainz. Three games play the 05s at home, three away.
Weip extended the contract and is in starting eleven
A few hours before the kick -off, there was a good news for the FSV. The 05s announced that they would extend the Weiper Treaty, which will expire in the coming summer.
The Mainz finally ended the vertebrae around the German U21 international. Both in the 1-0 in the DFB Cup at Dynamo Dresden and in the first leg in Trondheim, Weiper had not stood in the Rheinhessen squad because the striker obviously did not want to extend his contract. Shortly before the Trondheim game there was clarity-and so Weip gave his starting eleven debut this season in the duel with the Norwegians.
First Bell, then double strike through Lee and Weiper
It was also Weiper who had the first chances against Trondheim. After a corner kick, however, he did not get the ball right (8th), then the 20-year-old narrowly moved (15th). The home side stayed on the pusher and rewarded themselves through Bell, who carried the margin into the goal after a header from Lee.
Rosenborg, in turn, hardly appeared aggressively. Islamovic, who had already hit in the first leg, equalized out of nowhere. After the shock, the Mainz had to collect themselves. But then Lee and Weiper provided pure ecstasy with their double strike shortly before the break.
The Mainz remained dominant even after the change of sides and were looking for the preliminary decision, which Amiri then brought up perfectly. After that, the team of coach Bo Henriksen even had other occasions, while Rosenborg only really created pressure in the final phase.
