Both goals in the first half were scored by Mainz. The first in the ninth minute when Nikolce Noveski transported the ball past Christian Wetklo when he touched the ball somewhat unlucky after a pass from Hoffenheim's Roberto Fimino into the five meter area. Wetklo had no chance. While Hoffenheim was contend to close up its rear during the first half, Mainz had difficulty with penetrating the Hoffenheim defence.
In the 29th minute Radovlak Zabavnik passed the ball sharp into the five meter area, where Mohamed Zidan moved onto the ball and pushed it into the net for the equalizer. This was Zidan's third gaol in as many matches with Mainz.
The second half saw some offensive play by both sides, but overall it was a meek second half. The final result of 1-1 is fully justified.
Tomorrow the Bayern, Dortmund and Glabach will meet to contend for the top spot. Only five points separate the top four of the league with another eight points to fifth place. Schalke, presently holding fourth spot will not play until Sunday.
