After the vertebrae around SturmJuwel Nelson Weiper, the 1st FSV Mainz 05 threatens to end in the playoffs of the Conference League. The Bundesliga club lost the first leg after a weak idea with the Norwegian record champions Rosenborg BK 1: 2 (1: 1).
In the second leg in Mainz next Thursday (9 p.m.), the team of coach Bo Henriksen needs a catch -up and also an increase in performance to move into the league. National player Nadiem Amiri put the Mainz in the lead with a dream goal from a good 25 meters (36th). Trondheim’s Dino Islamovic managed to equalize with a penalty (43.). In the final phase, substitute Ole Sæter scored the deserved winning goal (90th).
Striker Weiper, for whom there is currently a lot of excitement, was not in the Mainz squad in the first round of the DFB Cup at the first round of the DFB Cup at the first round of the DFB Cup. The contract of the German U21 national player will expire in the coming summer. The club would like to extend, the player will not – at least not yet what the FSV apparently fails. Instead of traveling to Norway, the attacker trained with the Mainz regional league team.
The home side found fans better in front of 18,293 fans. Mainz goalkeeper Robin Zentner was on hand both when Simen Bolkan Nordli (6th) and the shot of Jesper Reitan-Sound (9th). The 05s, in turn, looked unimaginative on the offensive. Amiri scored the lead out of nowhere with a rich shot from a distance. The midfielder had already met in the trophy against Dresden. However, the 1-0 of the Mainz did not provide more stability and creativity. Instead, the Rheinhessen had to accept the equalization by the converted penalty of Islamovic shortly before the break. Previously, Kaishu Sano Rosenborgs had fouled rice. In the view of the video images, the due penalty was only due.
After the change of sides, the Bundesliga club presented itself a little more grippy. Jae-Sung Lee failed with a massive shot at Trondheim’s goalkeeper Sander Tangvik (47th). Afterwards, the FSV missed the determination again. The Norwegians were closer to the winning goal and rewarded themselves late with a goal from Sæter.
