Bundesliga: Union turnaround against Mainz in 214 seconds – Bundesliga

Crazy game in Mainz: First a loaned Union player meets the Berliner, then an ex-Mainz turns the game to a 2-1 win for Union.

First a tough start in Mainz, then it gets bitter for the 05er: St. Juste falls unhappy on the left arm. After a short treatment it is clear: the defender, who had recently set a league-wide season record with 36.63 km / h, must be replaced. For him, the young Nemeth comes to his first Bundesliga game. Is the Mainz defense, which was so strong so far, shaking now?

It seems like this: Awoniyi suddenly stands free in front of the box, but the striker steps past the ball (23rd).

► But the bell rings on the other side: Nemeth conquers the ball and initiates a counterattack. Onisiwo on Ingvartsen and finished with a left from 11 meters to Mainz 1-0 lead (40th).

Ingvartsen of all people! Because the Dane wanted to play in the storm again, he was awarded by Union to the Mainz team in the summer, and now he meets his old club in his starting eleven! With two goals, Ingvartsen is even Mainz’s top scorer.

Injured Adam Szalai (33) from Mainz during the break at DAZN: “A great finish! We’re happy to take the 1-0 lead with us. “

After the break, Union immediately pushes for the equalizer. But Ryerson (48th) and Kruse (49th) miss the compensation first.

► Then Awoniyi does it better: First he hits after a pass from Kruse to 1: 1 (69th) and then the ex-Mainz only puts the 2: 1 for Union in 214 seconds. The double pack is the first goals conceded at home for Mainz this season!

Awoniyi shoots Mainz with the first double in his Bundesliga career and secures Union the first away win after eight games.

Bitter this scene: When Unions Kruse is replaced after 83 minutes, he has to go behind the gate in front of the Mainz grandstand. The fans mob him, sprinkle the striker with beer. Kruse’s reaction? Unbelieving looks at the ranks …

The striker after the game at the station “DAZN”: “Why should that provoke me? I had to go that way. What should I say about such nonsense heads? “
