Mainz gave Borussia Dortmund a resounding slap in the face at home, and the 3-0 score was not just a number, but a declaration - "We are not soft persimmons!" "It was a great game, every goal was like a choreographed drama, and every defense was like a life-and-death struggle.
From the very beginning of the game, Mainz showed a strong desire to attack. In the 17th minute of the game, Barreiro was like a lightning bolt on the field, and a precise shot went straight through the Dortmund net. This ball can be said to have scared the goalkeeper of Dortmund, who probably didn't expect to pick up the ball from the net so soon. Barrero's celebration with teammate Gruda after scoring a goal is comparable to the hero hugging in a movie, and the tacit cooperation between the two on the field makes people want to give the director a thumbs up!
Mainz's second goal came in the second half, when the atmosphere was already as hot as a summer barbecue stand. Kerr deftly flicked past two defenders in the box, and his shot was so fast that the cameras couldn't keep up with it. Dortmund fans will probably have to pinch themselves to see if this is a dream.
As for the third goal, it was the icing on the cake. Wipa headed the ball into the net, and the ball leaped high and broke the opponent's dream with the top of his head. Dortmund's defenders could only look at the ball and sigh, as if to say: "What a bad luck day." ”
It has to be mentioned that Mainz's defense is equally strong. In the face of Dortmund's attack, the scramble of Mainz players Hanche Olsen and Reus is full of highlights. Every time Dortmund wanted to launch an offensive, Mainz seemed to set up one problem after another, giving the other side a headache.
Every minute of the game seems to tell the audience: football is not just a 90-minute duel, but also a contest of strategy and will.

The win meant solidifying their place in the middle of the table at the end of the Bundesliga and a wake-up call for Borussia Dortmund as they reflected on how they could find form in the remaining games and maintain or improve their position.
Overall, the game was a perfect demonstration of Mainz's strategic execution, while also exposing Dortmund's shortcomings in defensive switching and attacking and defensive integration. There is a lot of homework to be done for both sides in the upcoming fixtures, especially Borussia Dortmund, who will need to find their best form in order to get better results in the closing stages of the league.
