The FSV makes Rosenborg despair for a long time, a Mainz hits with a remarkable goal – later the var. The final phase becomes dramatic.
A very bitter defeat for Mainz 05-the return to a European Cup main round after almost nine years is on the brink. In the first leg of qualification for the Conference League at the Norwegian record champion Rosenborg Trondheim, FSV lost 1-2 (1: 1) after 1-0 lead.
Nadiem Amiri, with a dream goal, scored a good 25 meters of the Mainz lead (26th), Dino Islamovic equalized for the Norwegians (43.). Rosenborg had the better and clearer scoring opportunities about the game, but failed several times due to the heavily laid out 05 goalkeeper Robin Zentner. In the final phase, the substitute Ole Saeter became a match winner for Trondheim (90th).
In the second leg in Mainz next Thursday (9 p.m.), the team of coach Bo Henriksen needs a catch -up and an increase in performance in order to move into the league.
