MEWA ARENA

Full-time: Mainz 1-1 Cologne

What a game and what drama. Mainz will be gutted given their first-half domination but Cologne showed great fight to get back in the match and claim a vital point. Timo Schultz's men eventually had two penalties and ended up against 10-men and proved that they're not giving up any time soon. The result also keeps Darmstadt alive just when it looked like Mainz were set to send them down and edge ever-closer to safety.

Red card!

Phillipp Mwene sees red in the closing stages for wiping out Uth. It's a straight red and things go from bad to worse for Mainz who will be without another key player next week.

Penalty! What drama!

More Gruda magic

Mainz respond instantly and get right up the other end of the pitch. Gruda works a brilliant pullback that's cleared for a corner which results in a blocked shot from Amiri.

Drama at the start of the half!

We're only just back underway and Cologne's Alidou is taken down in the box. Waldschmidt steps up for the spot kick and sends it agonisingly wide.

Half-time: Mainz 1-0 Cologne

Mainz continue to look transformed under Bo Henriksen with another fine 45 minutes of football. Cologne were often unable to deal with the attacking trio of Onisiwo, Gruda and Burkardt and Timo Schultz will need to come up with something during the break to stop this getting away from them.

Van den Berg with the best chance yet!

Some Gruda magic ends up with the ball sent to Van den Berg just inside the area. The defender doesn't have much time to shift his feet but it's a great chance that Schwabe stops.

Lovely from Burkardt!

Mainz's no.29 does some great work on the left wing to kid a defender and deliver a cross. It's blocked and we have our first corner.

Penalty shout?

Gruda finds space on the edge of the box but sees his shot blocked by Finkgräfe. Mainz's players appeal for a penalty but replays show there was no chance.

"We have to deliver"

Schultz built this match up as a must-win pre-game and it's easy to see why. A hugely damaging 2-0 defeat to bottom-of-the-table Darmstadt last time out leaves in the automatic relegation zone, five points from Mainz in the relegation/promotion play-off berth. A win for M05 would give them an eight-point buffer with nine points left to play for.

More on the teams

Bo Henriksen has been forced into one change for Mainz with Onisiwo replacing the suspended Lee. Timo Schultz, meanwhile, has switched things up after a worrying defeat to bottom side Darmstadt last time out. Schmitz, Huseinbasic and Tigges start, while Christensen, Kainz and Adamyan are sent to the bench.

Henriksen vibes

Mainz are unbeaten in their last five Bundesliga games (three wins, two draws) and have picked up points in seven of their nine games under coach Bo Henriksen.

Times change

Interestingly, after Matchday 21 this season, Cologne were four points in front of their opponents today yet how things have changed in the space of just nine games with the Billy-Goats now five points behind the 05ers.

Schultz's view on Mainz

"Mainz are on a good run at the moment. They're no longer in the role of the hunters, but are now the hunted. And we want to hunt them at the weekend too. We know we need the points, but we also know that we can win on Sunday. If we show what we're capable of then I'm sure we can produce a really good away performance."

Henriksen on a huge six-pointer

"This is another final for us. None of the games will be easy. We're approaching every one of the remaining matches the same way - we're going out there to win."

Thank you, come again!

Mainz have a total of eight Bundesliga home wins against Cologne; the only team they have a better record against at the MEWA Arena is Augsburg (nine wins).

Travel sick

Cologne are without an away win in the 2024 calendar year, and they've also not won any of their last eight away matches in the league (D5 L3).

Watch: Mainz extend unbeaten streak

The 05ers have come good at just the right time in their own battle against the drop, their 1-1 draw in Freiburg on Matchday 30 taking their unbeaten sequence to five straight games (W3 D2).

Watch: Missed opportunity for Cologne

The Billy Goats went head-to-head against direct relegation rivals Darmstadt last weekend - and ended up losing 2-0 at home. That result has left them five points adrift of the relative safety of the relegation play-off spot.

Watch: Previous meeting - Cologne 0-0 Mainz

For the third time in five Bundesliga matches, these teams shared the points when they cancelled each other out back in December.
