Mainz 05 defeated Hoffenheim with a convincing 2-0 victory at the MEWA ARENA in Mainz, Germany. The match, part of the 2024 Bundesliga’s matchday 12, was officiated by Daniel Siebert. The game was characterized by Mainz’s dominance in attack and Hoffenheim’s indiscipline, resulting in three yellow cards for the visitors.
Jonathan Burkardt was the star of the match, scoring both goals for Mainz. His first goal came in the 4th minute, assisted by Lee Jae-Sung, and the second in the 24th minute, assisted by A. Caci. Mainz controlled possession (52%) and created more scoring opportunities (15 shots, 7 on target), in contrast to Hoffenheim’s 2 shots on target.

The victory leaves Mainz in a strong position in the league standings.
