Two minutes later, Dortmund had the perfect opportunity to equalize. Dominik Kohr tapped Raphaël Guerreiro, after which the ball was placed on the spot after interference from the VAR. The golden opportunity, however, was not spent on Haller, who saw his penalty saved by Dahmen. To make matters worse, Mainz then made it 0-2 in the 24th minute, when Karim Onisiwo headed in a cross from Lee Jae-sung.
