On March 7, 2025, Borussia Mönchengladbach met the 1st FSV Mainz 05 in the Borussia Park stadium in the Borussia Park. This outstanding performance ensures that Mainz is now on a direct Champions League-Platz, while Gladbach continues to get into the relegation strudel.

Mainz initially opened the game. The first significant chance of the game had Tim Kleindienst in the 26th minute, whose header only hit the crossbar. The offensive of both teams initially only slowly got on, but shortly before the end of the first half, the Mainzern managed the surprising tour. Paul Nebel scored the first goal in the 39th minute, his shot was deflected by a Gladbach defender and found his way to the net. This meant not only the 1-0 half-time lead for Mainz, but also the seventh game in a row, in which Gladbach lived back and ultimately lost.

second half and decisive goals

The players of Mainz immediately took the momentum after the half -time break. Dominik Kohr increased to 2-0 in the 49th minute by replacing Nadiem Amiri after a deflected header. Gladbach's trainer Gerardo Seoane had made major changes in the starting eleven in the hope of a turn in the second half, but the defensive problems remained.

In the 73rd minute, Stefan Lainer scored the goal for the home side after Mainz goalkeeper Robin Zentner dropped a ball. But Mainz was not put off and set the end. Nadiem Amiri restored the old distance with a precise shot from 20 yards in the 77th minute.

Current situation of Gladbach and Mainz

With this defeat, Borussia Mönchengladbach remains dangerously close to the relegation area and now has seven points behind Mainz. The team has already had five home defeats this season, and the pursuers Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart are threatened to be overhauled in the table. Above all, the defensive leaves many questions unanswered how the weak defensive performance made it clear in this game.

The situation for Mainz is different. FSV Mainz 05 against Gladbach has been unbeaten for nine games. Paul Nebel, who scored the first goal, was also voted MAN of the Match. With the victory, Mainz not only maintained the chance of a European Cupplatz, but can also tackle the upcoming games with a good feeling.
