It should be 3-0!
Becker does superbly to get to the byline and pull the ball back to Tietz, but the ball somehow evades the striker in the centre. The ball is then pulled back to Bell, but Dahmen makes a big save with his boot.

Amiri wins Mainz's second penalty
The Mainz man gets onto a pass from Becker and spins Kade in the box. The Augsburg winger then lunges in recklessly and brings down Amiri. The referee points to the spot.
77'
Kömür almost levels
Kade slots a pass through to Kömür, and he has just Batz to beat from a difficult angle, and the goalkeeper comes out on top.
71'
Unlucky
Ribeiro skips past a couple of desperate Mainz challenges in the box and has a go, but scuffs his left-footed effort.
68'
Augsburg almost find a way
Kade slips a ball into Claude-Maurice inside the area, but he is denied from a tight angle by Batz. Jakić then has a go, but his effort is far too high.
66'
Becker fires over
Amiri and Lee combine superbly to set Becker in the box, but the striker's effort is heavily sliced and misses the target.
63'
Becker returns to the Bundesliga
The former Union Berlin striker is back in Germany and comes on to make his Mainz debut.

A nervous moment
Batz takes a bit too long on the ball and is charged down by Ribeiro. The ball deflects off the debutant and lands just a metre or so wide of the target.

That should have been more
Mainz come forward with numbers, and Tietz has space to feed either Amiri or Widmer on the edge of the box. The pass is good, but Amiri and Widmer get in each other's way and that allows the Augsburg players to recover.

Mainz bench frustrated
Bell's pass deflects out via Gregoritsch for what should be a Mainz throw; however, the officials don't see it and give an Augsburg throw. The Mainz bench react frustratedly before receiving a stern telling off from the referee.

Could have gone anywhere
Silas does superbly to work space on the right before sending in a dangerous low cross. It takes a touch off both Massengo and Dahmen, but nobody in a Mainz shirt and the visitors survive.

Claude-Maurice has a pop
The Frenchman has a go from a bouncing ball on the edge of the box, and Batz is forced to tip the ball behind for a corner.

The referee points to the spot
A long throw from Da Costa causes Augsburg all sorts of problems. The ball bobbles around a bit before Rexhbecaj takes a wild swing, and Bell goes to ground. The referee thinks about it and then blows for the penalty.
