HUGE CHANCE FOR ZUBER!

Was that the moment? The ball runs loose for Zuber off of Jovic and he has a clear shot at goal from the edge fo the Mainz area. He fires away, but the block comes from St. Juste to send it behind.

IT HAD TO BE THAT KIND OF GOAL!

We doubt you've ever seen a goal like this in the Bundesliga, because we haven't. It's Younes down the left who reaches the byline before cutting the ball back into the middle. Hrustic's initial shot is blocked and Silva can't control the rebound before the ball comes back to the Australian, who is on the floor, but he's able to flick his left foot at the ball and send it looping over Zentner and into the back of the net. Incredible!

Ajdin Hrustic
82'

NOT LONG LEFT...

Frankfurt have been in the ascendancy all game here, really, but still just can't find a way through the Mainz defence, or even a way to create clear-cut chances on goal. It's only going to get more and more difficult as time ticks on.
77'

DOUBLE CHANGE

Fresh legs into the Mainz attack with Öztunali and Glatzel on for Burkardt and Onisiwo, who have both been fantastic today.
76'

INCREDIBLE DEFENCE

Just one of Frankfurt's eight attempts on goal today has come from inside the Mainz penalty area, and that was way back in the 20th minute through Kostic.
76'

ONISIWO IN ON GOAL!

The Mainz scorer is played in one-on-one with Trapp by Burkardt, with Ilsanker trying to chase him down. He reaches the penalty spot to the right before he gets a shot away, but Trapp is off his line to make a vital save.
72'

DRINKS BREAK

Once again, the warm weather means that the players will take a drinks break here for a minute or two. A chance for Hütter to address his players.
71'

NEXT CHANGE

Zuber is on for Kamada with Adi Hütter looking to find rare holes in the Mainz defence.
70'

CHANCES FEW AND FAR BETWEEN

Onisiwo's stunning strike in the first half is all that separates us, but the Mainz defence is the reason Frankfurt have struggled at the other end.

AS THINGS STAND

Frankfurt know they need to get all three points here, with the scoreline as it is keeping them two points adrift of Dortmund - who now occupy the final UEFA Champions League qualification spot.

Chandler, Younes and Ilsanker all come on for Frankfurt with time running out for the Eagles to get vital points.

STUCK IN THE MAINZ HALF

Frankfurt are controlling possession and have all outfiled players camped in the Mainz half, but they're not finding their flow at all going forward. Mainz's compact defence continues to do its job in keeping them quiet through the middle and out wide.
56'

FIRST CHANGE

Quaison is limping his way off here with what looks to be a muscular issue, with Boetius replacing him.
52'

KAMADA WIDE

A rare bit of space around the Mainz area as Kamada collects possession 20 yards from goal. He fires a shot low for the bottom corner back across goal from the right, but this one is dragged just wide of goal.

FRANKFURT'S STRUGGLES

The Mainz defence have afforded no space at all to Frankfurt's players in attack, such as Jovic...
50'

HRUSTIC BOOKED

A second yellow card for Frankfurt with Hrustic bringing down Burkardt.
48'

ON TOP AGAIN

Hinteregger glances a header wide across goal at the start of the second half with Frankfurt back on top again. The Eagles had 70 percent of the ball in the first half, but rarely tested Zentner in the Mainz goal.

ALMOST FOR SILVA

Kostic and Kamada combine down the left before Silva is spotted in space on the edge of the Mainz area. He cuts past Niakhate's challenge, but Mainz have more bodies rushing out to press the striker and the chance is lost. Mainz defending fantastically here.

SUPERB FROM ST. JUSTE!

Silva is played in on goal with only Zentner ahead of him as he bares down on goal. But the Dutch international, St. Juste, recovers just in time to make an outstanding challenge and end the attack inside the penalty area.
35'

JOVIC HEADS OVER

Kostic finally finds some space for a cross from the left and finds his fellow countryman in the middle. Jovic meets the ball with a header, but can't angle it on target.
34'

NOT FINDING THEIR FLOW

So far, Kamada, Silva and Jovic have struggled to combine going forward for Frankfurt, with Mainz keeping things so tight in front of their own penalty area. Even out wide, with Mwene and da Costa sitting deeper, it's been a struggle for Kostic and Co.
30'

KOSTIC BOOKED

The first yellow card of the day from referee Felix Brych goes Kostic's way as he brings down Onisiwo on the counter.

DRINKS BREAK

With the weather so hot today in Frankfurt - upwards of 30 degrees celsius - the players are taking a drinks break.
27'

MAINZ COMPACT

The away side are sitting in deeper now since taking the lead, with Barreiro and Kohr keeping things safe in front of a five-man defence. The front three are pressing Frankfurt's defence and forcing them to play the ball out earlier than planned.

BIG CHANCE FOR KOSTIC!

Frankfurt are piling on the pressure now as Kostic fires a shot across goal from the left from 10 yards out, bringing the best out of Zentner who parries the ball away with his left hand.
20'

JOVIC SO CLOSE!

Two or three times now, Rode has played long balls forward to Jovic in the Mainz area. He's miscued his first-touches a few times, but on this occasions he's able to bring the ball down and get a shot away on the turn, only for it to drag wide across goal.

SUNDAY FUNDAY SO FAR

All smiles from Onisiwo and Co. as Mainz take an early lead in Frankfurt.
15'

STAYING COMPOSED

Frankfurt have gone behind but it's not changed their approach here in the opening quarter of an hour. They're looking to build possession from the back and stay patient on the ball, which is fine for Mainz as well, it would seem.
11'

WHAT A HIT FROM ONISIWO!

Mainz are brimming with confidence at the moment and that goal proves it. Onisiwo picks up possession from Kohr's pass 30 yards from goal, and turns to then shoot from 25 yards with a powerful low strike which drifts beyond Trapp and nestles in the bottom corner. A superb strike to give Mainz the lead!

Karim Onisiwo
8'

WING-BACKS STARTING DEEPER

We've been used to seeing Mwene and da Costa flying up the wings in recent weeks, but the two wing-backs are starting this game in more defensive roles. It's almost a five-man defence for Svensson's side, in fact.
5'

FINE START

Frankfurt have come out looking to control possession in the opening five minutes, but so far Silva and Jovic have hardly had a touch in attack as this game slowly begins to click into speed.
1'

BURKARDT ON TARGET!

Iniside just 30 seconds and Mainz have the game's first shot on target. Burkardt is played in behind down the left and fires at the near post, but Trapp is in the right place to save and gather at the second attempt.
1'

HERE WE GIO!

The ball is rolling in sunny Frankfurt for a Sunday derby between two in-form sides.
Kick-off!

DA COSTA AND KOHR DERBY

Frankfurt-owned Da Costa and Kohr have made 12 and 14 appearances respectively since moving to Mainz on loan in January. The pair made 13 combined appearances for their parent club in the first half of the season, but have both been key to the ZeroFivers turning their season around.

MAINZ'S REMARKABLE TURNAROUND

Mainz sit fifth in the Rückrunde table on 27 points, behind only Wolfsburg (28), Frankfurt, Leipzig (both 29) and Bayern (32). They had accured only eight points from the first 17 games of the season in comparison.

WATCH: MAINZ 0-2 FRANKFURT - REVERSE FIXTURE

Andre Silva also played a key role in Frankfurt's defeat of Mainz earlier this season...

SILVA ON THE BRINK OF HISTORY

Frankfurt striker Andre Silva needs one more goal to equal Bernd Hölzenbein’s 26-goal single-season club record, set in 1976/77. A league-high eight of his 25 efforts have been headers.

FRANKFURT'S FORTRESS

Eintracht are one of two teams, along with Leverkusen, yet to taste defeat on home soil in this season’s Bundesliga. Mainz were the last team to beat them on their own patch, in June 2020, however.

FRANKFURT TEAM NEWS

Rode returns to the midfield after serving a one-match suspension last time out, but N'Dicka picked up a 10th yellow card of the season against Leverkusen. Silva has six in six and will be out to provide the Frankfurt ammunition going forward. He has Jovic for company in attack with Younes having only recently returned from Belgium for treatment on a groin injury.

MAINZ TEAM NEWS

Centre-back Bell picked up a fifth yellow card of the campaign in the 1-1 draw with Hertha in midweek, and misses out. Hack is his replacement, with Mainz other changes in attack. Burkardt and Quaison are joined in attack by Onisiwo as the 05ers look to continue their remarkable resurgence.
