Mainz 05 defies Freiburg: 0-0 and the fight against relegation!

An exciting weekend for FSV Mainz 05 ended with an uneventful "0-goal Sunday" against SC Freiburg. Despite intensive efforts, both teams could not score a goal and separated with a disappointing 0: 0. The two goalkeepers, Noah Atubolu and Robin Zentner, were the true heroes of the game, who kept their box clean with spectacular parades. But the storm rows of both teams were also not in top form that day and could not play out any significant chances.

The fans of FSV Mainz 05 had reason to be happy when they discovered the name "Jonathan Burkardt" in the starting eleven. The young international was back after an injury and played for a half, but was not able to take his best opportunity in the 28th minute when his shot went over the goal after a corner. After half -time, Burkardt was replaced by Armindo Sieb, which is borrowed from Bavaria, which further increased the Mainz offensive.

The table is getting closer

The situation in the table is heading! Due to the victories of the promoted FC St. Pauli and Holstein Kiel, the distance to the relegation places for Mainz is only two points. The team continues to be undefeated this season, but fans are eagerly awaiting the first home win. It remains to be seen whether this will succeed against Borussia Dortmund next Saturday and only the most optimistic fans believe in it.

The game against Freiburg showed that both the coaches and the players rely on a defensive strategy and hoped for counterattack, which ultimately did not work. The question remains: Can Mainz 05 soon celebrate the first home win and settle from the relegation places?
