Mainz shoots its feared opponent out of the stadium – thanks to the lucky charm!
The Rheinhessen win at the start of the ninth matchday 4: 1 against Augsburg. For the team of coach Bo Svensson (42) it is the first win after four games without a win and the first win against the Fuggerstadt team since September 2018 (7 of the last 8 games lost).
Man of the game: Jonathan “Jonny” Burkardt (21)!
The U21 international shines with a double pack and a template. And that under the eyes of national coach Hansi Flick (56) and his assistant Marcus Sorg (55). During the game in Hoffenheim (2-0), Flick was in the stadium, and Burkardt met there too. At the same time, it was the last victory for the time being for the Mainz team.
► 10. Minute: Widmer plays the ball from the half-field flat on the left side. Gumny could clarify relaxed, but hits the ball with his left. This gives Onisiwo a free run, lies the ball on his right and pushes it into the far corner – 1-0.
► 15. Minute: Boëtius captured the ball, switched quickly and found Burkardt. The U21 international claimed the leather in the penalty area and lays in the fall of Bell, who pushes the ball from seven meters through Gikiewicz’s legs to make it 2-0.
► 26. Minute: Widmer thrashes the ball up the line. Onisiwo switches the fastest, processes the pass and lifts the ball onto the second post. Burkardt nods the flank untenable in the left corner – 3: 0.

With such services, Burkardt is also recommended for higher tasks. Flick will have noticed it and made a note of it.
Augsburg shows an increase in performance in the second half. But more than the goal from Zeqiri (69th) does not want to succeed. The end of the game is the outstanding Burkardt just two minutes later with his second goal of the evening – the first double in the Bundesliga.
