Match summary, key moments and what it means for the table
Dortmund entered the game on a strong run, having collected 13 points from five fixtures. They lived up to expectations, dictating play from the first whistle. Daniel Svensson broke the deadlock in the 27th minute with a low‑driven strike that slipped past the Mainz goalkeeper. The goal sparked a wave of pressure, culminating in Karim Adeyemi’s second‑half‑before‑break finish in the 40th minute, which gave the visitors a comfortable 2‑0 lead heading into the break.
Statistically, Dortmund dominated possession and created more chances, completing 58% of passes and registering eight shots on target. Mainz struggled to find rhythm, managing just three shots in total and a single corner. The victory not only extended Dortmund’s unbeaten streak but also widened the gap with their nearest rivals, solidifying their position in the top three.
Historically, the two clubs have been evenly matched since 2021, with Mainz winning three of the last ten meetings. Dortmund’s win here flips that narrative, marking their first triumph over Mainz in this period and adding psychological weight to future fixtures.
Both teams will now look ahead to their next league assignments. Dortmund aims to maintain momentum and push for a Champions League spot, while Mainz must regroup and chase points to stay clear of the relegation zone.
