BVB Dortmund Borussia Dortmund - M05 Mainz Mainz

Chukwuemeka brings down Nebel and is shown a yellow card.

Guirassy tries to nod another deep cross into the path of Nmecha, but the linesman's flag goes up.

Nmecha is caught late by Posch but manages to square the ball to Beier, whose effort from around 20 metres out is parried clear by Batz.

Batz keeps the score at 3-0 with a fine save from Nmecha, who had managed to get his shot away after sidestepping a couple of Mainz defenders deep inside the area.
