Outstanding performance
FSV Mainz 05•MidfielderFSV Mainz 05 salvaged a dramatic point against Borussia Mönchengladbach in a match that saw them dominate possession (62%) but struggle to break down stubborn defending. Joe Scally's early opener for the hosts came against the run of play after Mainz had already missed two glorious chances in the opening seven minutes. Despite creating 83 dangerous attacks to Gladbach's 24 and registering 17 shots, Mainz's profligacy in front of goal looked set to cost them until Nelson Weiper won a penalty in the dying seconds, which Nadiem Amiri converted to secure a point. The frantic final minutes saw six yellow cards as tensions boiled over, highlighting the significance of the result for both mid-table sides.
