Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund failed to defeat Mainz, prolonging their winless streak

Borussia Dortmund hosted Mainz in the 16th round of the Bundesliga.

Both teams were in need of a victory today: for the Yellow Blacks, to not lose ground in the competition for the Champions League zone, and for Mainz, to intensify their fight for survival. Additionally, Dortmund had not secured a win in the Bundesliga for three consecutive rounds.

The teams exchanged goals in the first half. Initially, Brandt opened the scoring with a stunning free-kick, surpassing the defensive wall and leaving no chance for the goalkeeper. The guests responded with a precise strike from van den Berg, who headed in Mwene's delivery.

In the second half, the hosts pushed aggressively toward the opponent's goal but failed to snatch the victory. Reyna seemed poised to secure a win for his team, but his goal was disallowed due to an offside position.

Thus, Borussia extended their winless streak in the league to four matches. Terzic's team went into the Bundesliga break in fifth place. Mainz, with 10 points, sits in 15th position.
