For the 1st FSV Mainz 05, the great days continue to Carnival: The Mainz celebrates the fourth victory in series at Borussia Mönchengladbach and continue to storm towards Champions League.
The Mainz celebrated a 3-1 win at Borussia Mönchengladbach at the start of the 25th match day. After the fourth victory in series, the surprise team from Mainz climbed to third place with 44 points now – and can continue to dream of moving into the Champions League for the first time.
44 points after 25 game days-the Mainz people have never been better in their Bundesliga history at that time of the season. Mönchengladbach conceded the second home defeat in a row, but with 37 points the international places are still within reach.
With the victory in the Borussia Park, the Mainz continued their good series against Mönchengladbach: Mainz has lost none of the past nine duels against Gladbach in the Bundesliga. The Mainz are unbeaten against no other Bundesliga club.
Fog, Kohr and Amiri – three Mainz goals in Mönchengladbach
Paul Nebel scored in the 39th minute and in the middle of a Gladbach urge phase for the Mainz lead. Immediately after the restart, Mainz shocked the hosts for the second time, Dominik Kohr (48th) increased to 2-0 in the replacement of Nadiem Amiri’s free kick.
With the connection, Stefan Lainer provided a new hope for the Gladbachers – which, however, quickly evaporated: Amiri made (77th) with a full shot from the penalty area to the Mainz 3: 1 and the decision.
