What was this jubilation about?
Mainz wins 2-1 in Augsburg. And the enigmatic celebration of 05 goal Ösi Onisiwo after his 1-0 lead caused astonishment among the fans.
▶ 31. Minute: The Mainzer Knipser shoots the 05er with his 3rd goal of the season (scored twice at the start against Bochum) after a one-two with Fulgini.
Then the cheering puzzle! Onisiwo puts his hands to his cheek in a kind of sleeping pose while celebrating. Why?
There is no explanation yet, but it could be related to his little son Leroy. Did Ösi sleep too little?
Onisiwo to BILD: “I always want to try a different celebration and I liked it. But what’s behind it – I don’t want to reveal that.”
Compensation four minutes after the cheering puzzle – with a stroke of genius! Augsburg’s top newcomer Demirovic lobs a Uduokhai cross pass with his hoe over Mainz goalkeeper Zentner. dream goal!
But practically with the final whistle the winning goal for 05! After a corner, substitute Lee shocked with a last-minute winning goal (90 + 3). FCA missed a 05 Mainz corner and a cross from Martin and the South Korean headed in unhindered.
However: The ball is still moving at Burgzorg’s corner – it should actually be very still. But referee Stegemann gives the goal anyway.
Before that, Mainz had THE chance to win! The fit forward Burkardt is felled in the penalty area by FCA defender Gruezo: Penalty! But the Spaniard Aaron Martin forgives weakly.
This ends a mega series for the 05 series. For the first time since May 2013, a player from Mainz misses a penalty. At that time, Szalai missed against Nuremberg – there were an incredible 36 converted penalties in between – a Bundesliga record.
05 sporting director Schmidt: “Aaron is actually a good shot, he has a good left foot. But of course he can do better, the penalty was not so good. Nevertheless, we believe that he can also do 911s.”
Incidentally, Mainz manager Heidel was not personally in the stadium. He was absent for personal reasons and was at his house in Mallorca.
The 2-1 win over FCA also ends a horror series for the 05ers: Rheinhessen have not been able to win at Bayern since 2016 and have lost all of the last six games.
